/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. 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.

Of course it is. Mashed potatoes was invented by one of Miles' famous cousins, Guac O'Mole.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Guacamole is just Mexican mashed potatoes.

only if you use it as a dip for crisps

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if we put it in a noodle?

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

if you put it in a noodle does it become a pierogi?

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Or OR... Irish guac burrito

Guacamole is a topping. Mashed potatoes is a, uh, course. So no.

Mashed potatoes is occidental rice.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's not true. Potatoes in general are. Rice and potatoes both take many forms

Though fr I think barley, oats, or wheat flour may actually be occidental rice, at least in hiw it's traditionally used for everything from noodles to porridge to desserts to booze.

Isn't the potato a New World crop?

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

I won't ever be able to eat mashed potatoes without pondering this from now on.

Mashed potatoes are just savory starch whipped cream

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If you're not putting some heavy whipping cream in your mashed potatoes, you're not doing it right

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

That’s creamed potatoes. Mash is Irish smashed avo.
