/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.

Remove the text from the first picture and swap the order of pics. It makes the joke better.

Bynar bathroom

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

Where I grew up for some reason when they turned the junior high bathroom into the senior bathroom this is what they did. Thankfully they had new walls up before the end of the semester but it was weird.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Man, if I ever become an employer, this is how I'm gonna do job interviews.

"so what would you say is your greatest weakness"

*plop*

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

someone twisted the knob to "poop with friends" and snapped the damn thing off!

I was working at a job site in Idaho 2 years ago or so and came across an old refurbished building and the bathroom itself really did look like this where there were two toilets facing each other I asked him if they often have group meetings in there and they said not often but once in a while.....

C'mon, don't let the cardassians fuck around with the number of sinks as well.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

I thought I was a monster for always just going to the first available.

In a nearly full bathroom my bosses bosses boss did that at the conference for just our company, while continuing his phone conversation that was clearly work related as he held the phone to his ear. Then left without washing his hands.

I'm not a monster, not even close.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Shouldn't the text be flipped? The point was Picard was shown a number of lights and told a different number. The picture shows five so he should be saying five. Right?

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 7 points 12 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.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Who wears a watch on their penis?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

And a little sombrero why

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, well you can also say "nice ring"

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

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 13 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 13 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 13 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 11 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.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Except when there's a line, even then the 6'2" dude will use the ADA Urinal

[–] aritzg@tardigram.com 3 points 12 hours ago

well it depends. 3 or 2

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

No, no, there are 5 urinals. But only 3 can be used simoultaneously.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 12 hours ago

that's the joke.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 11 hours ago

That's only because you haven't yet seen a Bolian bathroom.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 hours ago

Fuck this I'm just pissing my pants
