/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

The way he says it makes perfect sense to me from a programmer point of view.

First, type of drink Second, subtype Third, whether its hot or cold

Although technically, you wouldn't have a cold earl grey tea, but still. It makes sense.

Turns out the replicator is based on Stable Diffusion.

This should so have been a plot point in an actual episode... saying "hot Earl grey tea" sends an encrypted distress signal on all federation frequencies

Type/variant/temp

Makes sense to me 🤷‍♂️

I just assumed that he's in the habit of doing it this way after the time he said "Hot Earl..." and suddenly there was a ripped British nobleman sitting on his replicator.

The Enterprise uses the same drinks machine as the Heart of Gold, I see

So, having seen exactly 0 episodes of Star Trek... Can someone please explain?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bald guy (captain Picard) always orders his tea in a way that kind of sounds odd given how voice interfaces actually turned out. (Tea, Earl grey, hot)

Another character orders tea how we would do so now, and we learn that he orders it that way because otherwise the ship explodes.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

But why would ordering it the other way make the ship explode?

Having seen the the first 639 episodes of Star Trek, I also don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

I'm imagining that the other way is the ship's secret self destruct command.

Be very precise with the replicator.

“Hot Earl Grey tea.”

*saucer section rotates 180 and reattaches*

If you order English Breakfast the computer schedules your next transporter "accident."

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Is it the computer or is it this proud Irishman?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Always make sure to conspicuously order Irish breakfast tea when the O’Brien is around to ensure proper transporter safety protocols.
