/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.

Yeah, not sure they are aware. They tried to bring US CocaCola to Canada, everyone hated it. So they rolled it back and called it CocaCola "Classic"
Actually iirc Canada does use hfcs in coke. The nuts thing is they only started using that shit in coke in the 80's
We use cane sugar in au because we've got it fckn everywhere, but some countries use beet and Japan and Argentina use a weird hybrid of sugar and hfcs
Coke still used real sugar when this was made. You can tell by how short the skirts are.
Logical.
Do not question the beverages administered by Lady Gaga herself.
Why drink Mexican Coke when you can drink the communist one?
Sorry, we don't have White Coke. Is Crystal Pepsi okay?

Amazing timing, I just watched this breakdown of Mexican coke
What is incredible is that actual scientists employed by universities don't understand acid hydrolysis.
What did they get wrong?
Watch the video. There is no difference between sugar cane sucrose coke and glucose fructose US coke. Sodas contain phosphoric acid , which takes sugar cane sucrose and hydrolyses it to glucose fructose, the two halves of sucrose, in hours.
This is why he detected fructose in a soda he made from cane sugar.
There are lots of US universities with great sports teams and truly mediocre scientists.
