/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

“What is a deuterium-antimatter reaction regulated by a dilithium matrix — or in the case of Romulans, a quantum singularity; or quantum slipstream which utilizes benamite crystals, though whether it is a fuel source is ambiguous and the subject of much speculation…?”
In Jeopardy, if you provide an unintended answer that's still technically correct, and still fits the category, they'll still mark you as correct - or if they fail to, they may rectify the mistake with a change to the scores after the next commercial break.
What was the category? If it was vague enough I'd guess they'd accept either "dilithium" or "antimatter", but if it's something like "Fictional substances" then by traditional Jeopardy rules only dilithium would fit.
Jeopardy clues in general reward people who have shallow knowledge in lots of topics. As a rule of thumb when giving clues on specific topics, those clues will be answerable by an enthusiastic layman - you never really need to be an expert to get them right. If they ask a clue in a subject you do happen to be an expert in, you'll occasionally notice they get the details wrong - rarely even to the point of judging responses incorrectly.
Once, during the jeopardy Masters tournament, they prompted "The bubbly type of Alka-Seltzer can contain sodium or potassium bicarbonate, both types of this neutralizer"
Jennings didn't accept "Base" or "buffer" when looking for "Antacid"
They overturned the ruling after the break and eventually credited both answers
