/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.

Is it a copy or are the molecules sent?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I believe the molecules are sent.

[–] Wrench 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That's what they claim. Pretty sure it's just a convenient lie that the engineers tell everyone to keep morale up. That's the only explanation I can see for the officers always barely "making it out" of every single underdog scenario they jump into.

They've died dozens of times, but keep getting printed out and told they made it because they're special.

That's the premise of the two sons in Venture Bros, except clones!

Could be there's too much data to store, so it's just read once, transmitted, part of it is kept in a buffer in case retransmission is necessary, and then discarded.

[–] EvilHankVenture 2 points 10 months ago

I think the buffer is there to hold the pattern until it is completely received.

What's the difference between any two water molecules?

Kinetic energy, or woo-woo "energy?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

reverse polarity tachyon energy.

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

for example, as long as they are not the exact same temperature their energy levels differ

[–] SpaceNoodle 1 points 10 months ago

Right, I thought that would go without saying. So: what's the difference between any two water molecules at the same temperature?

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

Well, then the meme is incorrect.

[–] thorbot 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey, reality check guy here. None of this shit is real. It's a meme about a scifi show.
