/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.

"Yeah science, bitch!" So we'll see how this meme does, but as someone who loves crazy science videos this is what I thought of. Two YouTubers in particular inspire this for me:

Nile is a chemist with two channels, NileRed and NileBlue. He does things like making chemicals that explode when they touch cotton, military-grade stink, or turning plastic gloves into hot sauce and grape soda.

Styropyro goes even further straight into mad scientist territory. He builds lasers that invisibly melt through car doors and set things on fire from 100s of feet away, or wires up 100 car batteries and makes crowbars explode.

Both regularly have "if you do this at home without proper education/gear it will kill you" moments.

Don't forget Alpha Phoenix, he does similarly crazy fun science stuff and has a lot of fun doing it.

Also Integza, Explosions&Fire, Extractions&Ire, NurdRage, and so on.
