/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.

Just to play Ferengi's Advocate for a moment: at least he was somewhat open minded. He fought Ishka and Leeta, but came around in the end. A few more good influences in his life and he might be willing to invest in a clothes shop for females.

Run by Fashion Lizard, of course.

yeah, there were the breadcrumbs of a decent commentary about an extremist taken out of their echo chamber and shown a genuinely fair society.

God i miss when sci-fi was optimistic about the future... but hey, maybe after WWIII and the eugenics wars we'll be able to start advancing the political sciences again too...

He never seemed to mind that his mother was clothed. I know that us viewers were glad she was.

"What's this fe-male doing wearing clothes and doing business?!"

Honestly, I found the Ferengi sexism weird. You'd think they'd understand how to leverage a woman's assets and be gross in other ways that actually make for better sales. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who is going to chew his food for him?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

You would think by now, Ferengi would have sold food chewers. I mean they have replicators!

[–] teft@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Automatic food chewers? And who is going to add the spit? You? no thank you to your cephalopod goo, good sir.

And if you suggest replicated spit I will form a corporation to do a hostile takeover of your commerce sector.

That's an explanation I've seen for why the Romans didn't find labor-saving devices like Heron's steam engine to be important. Why should you use a steam engine when you have plenty of slaves?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Ferengi would have sold food chewers.

Their society got past slavery much quicker than humanity

If they can sell Tooth Sharpeners for Latinum, surely you are right and they can make mad profits with food chewers

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 4 weeks ago

They totally sell automatic food chewers, there would be a decent amount of Ferengi who dont have a wife or mother to chew their food for them, not all single Ferengi are as open-minded and forward thinking as Rom is.

"That's 'Aliens Exist', Mr. Connery. Ya know, sometimes I just hate the things that come out of your mouth."

Those lobes are screaming for some oomax.
