/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I don't need this shit right before bed.

But since you asked... How much cereal do you have to add before it becomes a whole-grain chowder?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's pronounced chow-dah, you heathen!

The cube rule decided this. Cereal is wet nachos.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the cube rule and how did it decide this?

Welcome to the future. It is a utopia here, where arguments about food categorization are a thing seen only in historical fiction and meme museums.

Ucrustables start as a calzone and become quiche?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you eat the top off your uncrustable like some sort of maniac?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It just specifies unbitten so I'm wondering what it would become and that's what made the most sense.

So then.. only when soup has croutons is it the same thing as cereal. I feel enlightened.

Taxonomists exist for a reason, y'all!

Cereal belongs to the genus Granum and the family Lactoi but indeed they belong to the same order as soup, or Pulmenti. And while these taxonomies don't always line up with food evolution theory, we at least believe oatmeal and cereal are cousins from a similar ancestral food. Soup just happens to be a common, perfect form, like crabs.

Chicago deep dish pizza = casserole

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would never utter those words in Chicago. You will end up as a statistic

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

For guaranteed suicide in Chicago ... ask for ketchup on your hot dog

I've never been to Chicago but a friend of mine just went there and while he went wandering around, he asked me to research as much as I could about the city to see what he should or shouldn't do.

I would say it's much closer to gruel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruel

Although soup, stew and gruel are all supposed to be cooked before eaten.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One could argue that cereal is precooked

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's definitely pre-cooked. But I think the precursor to modern boxed cereal is not gruel but rather breaking up something like a biscuit, cornbread, etc into a bowl of milk.

I put dry cereal in the microwave for a few seconds, then add cinnamon, then cold milk.

Changed my life.

I'm making this a thing.

I gave your mom a wet salad.

Cereal is just crunchy instant porridge.

Does dipping Oreos in milk make it soup?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I'm just going to quit eating. It's become way too complicated.

Tomatoes are fruits... which means salsa is a fruit salad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Intelligence is known that tomatoes are fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in a fruit salad

What is a soup? A broth? Some vegetables? Using a bean stock, mixed with a little sugar and maybe another bean for flavor, like vanilla, and a splash of cream you can see a latte is a bean broth bisque.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only if you heat it up.

Cheerios in cold milk = not soup

Porridge = soup

Gazpacho is a vegetable smoothie

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Additional counterpoint against pedantry: borscht, vichyssoise, okroshka, naengmyeon . . . there are more but my brain is broke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gazpacho was a better counterpoint than borscht, as borscht is heated, it's just often cooled back down before serving

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

God damn i want some borscht

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[Arnold Rimmer disliked that.]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gazpacho is not soup, is a juice.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can you eat soup dry? Then no they're different.

A hotdog is a taco.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Whenever people complain about "legalese" or technical language, I always think of the hotdog/sandwich thing. Abstruse nomenclature exists for a reason!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unsure, but coffee is definitely bean soup.
