/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.

What's in raktajino, anyway? It's not caffeine; there are plenty of high-caffeine drinks - hell, I can make an awful-tasting, but high-caffeine espresso with what I have set up at home. And you can pretty easily consume enough caffeine to kill you; it is toxic, we just don't consume it at high enough concentrations.
I have the same question about Romulan Ale. Everclear is 190 proof - 95% ABV. You can go to a liquor store today and buy almost pure alcohol. It's nasty, but you can't get any more than 100% alcohol, and Everclear is pretty close. So what is the stimulant in Romulan Ale, b/c it probably isn't alcohol.
I imagine - for the thrill, that raktajino comes from similar grain to kopi luvak irl. Digested and pooped by targs and harvested for ahot cups of klingon coffee ๐ซ
Oh, so it's the Klingon equivalent of civet coffee.
