/c/TenFoward: 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.

Hieroglyphs were relatively easy in comparison. They just needed enough translated material as a reference to be almost universally understood.

Memes are shifting on a year to year basis and are sensitive to news events. There are people that are going to spend their entire lives looking for a specific meme or event that will allow them to understand another meme. And with the occasional "vintage" meme references there's even lots of opportunity for dramatic eureka moments when an expert on 2000s memes finally provides the missing clue for a 2030s meme.

Edit: and for their sake I hope someone is backing up the Urban Dictionary and Know Your Meme in several nuclear bunkers.

I can’t wait to explain “all your base” to my grandkids.
