/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.

Fun fact: Zachary Quinto had a hard time doing it so they had to use super glue in some of the scenes

Is that real or a joke? lol. Genuinely curious.

Also, is the ability to do that genetic like rolling your tongue or something anyone can do?

Stupid reality.

A healthy, fully developed hand should be able to do it without issue. Any difficulty would be caused by physical damage or mental blockage.

Nonsense. I've seen plenty of people be unable to do it.

It's a bit like wiggling your ears, or your little toe sideways. Everyone can do it, some people don't know how to make the muscles fire correctly. Once you can do it, it's so instinctual, you can explain HOW to do it.

I can easily see some people not learning that particular motion with their hands, it's not a particularly useful one, and so won't be noticed as missing.
