/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.

Timezones though, each area screams at midnight...
I have a friend who witnessed a plane crash at the Toronto air show in 1995.
Every time I watch an air show with him (we used to go to it every year) he'd remind me of the moment of that crash. They were out on a sailboat over the water watching the planes. A huge four engine navy aircraft flew over and everyone was quiet. The plane roared overhead, turned into a steep turn and dove into the water in front of everyone. He said the amazing thing at that moment was the collective GASP of thousands of people all doing the same thing at once. Then a split second later was the noise of the crash and explosion.
I can only imagine what would happen if millions of people collectively screamed at the sky.
I think we should actually do this. Let's just arrange a time once a week or once a month for a Great Shout. Just the one time where it's socially acceptable to walk outside and shout at the sky at the top of your lungs. The only rule is you can't shout that you're being attacked or similar. (Don't want to provide cover for someone stabbing someone or something.)
I think something like that could do a lot of good for society. Not only would it help us blow off some steam, but it would help social cohesion. If you and your neighbors all walk out together and shout at the same time, the most obvious thing to do afterwards is to talk with each other about what you're screaming about. You create an environment for communication and sharing of concerns that often may be left to simmer. It could be a huge boon for healthy social engagement.
Hell, we should make this a weekly event. Make it a really odd time in the middle of the day, like 11:15 AM on Tuesdays. That's just, "the screaming hour." At that time, it's just perfectly socially acceptable to walk outside and scream your lungs out at the sky. The one rule is you can't shout, "help I'm being attacked" or similar. We don't want the Great Shout to provide cover for murders and such.
I believe that is what Klingon opera is all about!:-)
One half screams, while the other half kisses, so half of everyone is screaming into someone else's mouth.
Look I'll get better at kissing okay
Waaaaaay ahead of you.
I've been screaming for them to stop for years.
I am mad as hell and i cant take it anymore
QAPLAAAAAAAAA
Undergrads at exam time
This looks like a money shot scene in porn.
Thank's, but I'll rather skip this one.
That would make it just like any night of the year.
