/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.

As far as I can tell, none have ever been seen moving - they're just reproduction machines. The lungs would make them, uh, pulsate? Also, I'm 90% this picture is not canon at all. I posted it mostly as a joke.
I love this community. Having in depth conversations about the edibility and biomechanics of troubles. Don't change!
If I could change, my home would be a bucket.
Life as a changeling is difficult.
This is brilliant!!!
Interesting. So, if they can‘t move, they would have to reproduce by sending pollen into the air or something similar. I wonder how they birth their offspring. They would have to eject them at high speeds to reach new areas.
Do you know those animals like bees and some fish that copulate once for life?
It's heavily implied that the tribbles do it once in several generations. So I imagine they do it when they get luck to be thrown together.
So they either evolved to be parasitic by nature, or they rely on being pushed along by the growing pile of tribbles or they originate from a very windy world, where they move like tumbleweed.
Oh, I vote on the tumbleweed option. It's the most reasonable one.
It‘s canon now.
