(lemmy.world)
And yes, the 1701 really has a bowling alley.

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'

Fun will now commence.

DS9 said baseball didn't survive. Living holodeck version of Buck Bokai said as much to Sisko:
From If Wishes Were Horses.
Hmm, I guess I have forgotten the exact dialog, as it was over 10 years ago since I watched that. I guess the implication is that it didn't survive as a professional competitive sport? Because there definitely are teams that play it at least casually - and I went to check, it was indeed a Vulcan baseball team that challenged Sisco https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Logicians - so I'd argue it still has survived to some degree, no?
The whole point of that episode was that Sisko and Solok had been competing with each other for years and Solok put together and trained a baseball team specifically to challenge Sisko.
The one place that baseball was still regularly played by the time of DS9 was Cestus III, which is how Kasidy Yates knew about it. Her brother played baseball there.
301 in my version - Ben
You know, I just had a thought. Maybe there were only 300 seats in the stands because he played for the London Kings and everyone in Britain was like, "why the fuck would we watch this American shite?"
