/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.

If you're ever in Chicago, order a shot of Malort. It goes down exactly like that.

I was on a work trip in rural Pennsylvania in 2008 or so, and I stopped at this local dive on my way back to the hotel.

The house special was something called a Guiness-tini, and I do not recommend it. Probably goes down about the same as that shot of Malort.

In Istanbul many years ago, I tried Raki, which did this to me. It's similar to Ouzo from Greece

Malort starts bad and gets worse. I'm convinced that it degrades into some worse chemicals as it oxidizes in your mouth. 10/10, would recommend as a truly horrendous flavor experience that won't actually kill you.

It is like that! Hah it has been well over a decade for me, but I do remember it gets worse. There's thi.... ugh, balls nasty tree bark flavor that gets more intense and leaves an throaty aftertaste that even Jameson couldn't flush away. Some people claim to like the taste of Malort, but I think they're just dead inside.
