/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

No because Picard is speaking the truth. No one uses the other two, and therefore they aren't urinals

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 7 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

If you do end up in a situation where you must use the other two it is proper to say "nice watch" as you maintain eye contact.

I prefer "that's a particularly lovely circumcision scar" or "what a beautiful foreskin!"

Who wears a watch on their penis?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

And a little sombrero why

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, well you can also say "nice ring"

And then yell something manly so they know you're not a gay

I have definitely used urinals shoulder to shoulder in places where there was little choice, like an airport.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Right, but that's the funny thing about jokes. They don't need to be 100% accurate to be funny.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, but jokes do work better when grounded in truth. Are there seriously people out there who will just piss themselves if 1,3, and 5 are occupied?

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 14 hours ago

Instead of rushing to the most extreme option ask yourself if the 1st and 3rd urinals are occupied which one would you use? I'm finishing explaining the joke so I'll just leave you with this, if you make the changes the original commenter suggested, there isn't a joke anymore. It's just Picard counting urinals.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 13 hours ago

It takes ~21 seconds to piss. I'll wait for an opening.

And if there are no dividers, I'll wait for a stall.
