/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

No it doesn't. ๐
The outcome can be total nonsense and it still subverts the expectation that 1) you get tea, 2) the outcome makes sense.
If they had available footage of a stream of puppies being forcefully ejected from the replicator, that would also work.
But nothing else. Only the explosion and the puppy hose work.
OK. So, let's just assume, just theoretically, someone in your future let's you know you don't have a great sense of humor, feel free to come back and read those comments again.
So, you don't understand how a non-sequiter can be amusing, and so ... I'm not funny because I understood a joke?

There's something deeply weird about people insisting that humor has to be logical.
I never said I don't get it, just implied it isn't funny. And it obviously isn't to many people here judging by the votes.
By using fancy terms and feeling the need to link an explanation (the link is broken, by the way) you now give it a self-opinionated flair. Maybe you're the weird one.
You think non-sequiter is a fancy term?
I'm sorry that I explained a joke to someone who said they didn't get it.
I suppose the logical thing to do if you don't think a joke is funny is to complain about it in the comments though, particularly at people who didn't make the joke who just explained it to someone else.

There's the fixed link. Not sure why the encoding went funky.
