/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.

Is peanut butter bean dip or hummus?

Cereal is only soup if you boil the cereal in the milk.

So oatmeal is soup, a bowl of cold Cheerios isn't.

And before anyone comes up with "but borscht is cold" it is still boiled to create the soup and then chilled before serving. You're not just tossing cold beets and water together and calling it soup.

Gazpacho is soup that isn't boiled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

No, clearly by this definition gazpacho is cereal :P

Who the FUCK eats борщ cold!? What crazy coo-coo land chicanery is that?!
Окрошка is cold.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Milk can be pasteurized before consumption. The process varies but can be as long as 30 minutes at 63c. I'd say a bowl of Cheerios with Raw Milk isn't a soup.

It's still a chicken noodle soup if I mix the premade ingredients with a broth and don't cook it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Ah, but you're not pre-cooking the cheerios in the milk. It's like pouring a pre-made broth over uncooked veggies and meat.

Chicago deep dish pizza = casserole

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Patrice o Neal was on Opie and Anthony one time shitting on deep dish.

I do not think I've ever heard any more upset phone calls over something that matters so little lol

Totally agree.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I would never utter those words in Chicago. You will end up as a statistic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Every person I've ever talked to from Chicago says deep dish is a tourist thing. I have to agree with the larger consensus that it's not that good. Not awful by any means but it's not good enough for how difficult it is to eat without making a big mess.

For guaranteed suicide in Chicago ... ask for ketchup on your hot dog

I've never been to Chicago but a friend of mine just went there and while he went wandering around, he asked me to research as much as I could about the city to see what he should or shouldn't do.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

A hotdog is a taco.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tomatoes are fruits... which means salsa is a fruit salad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Intelligence is known that tomatoes are fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in a fruit salad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Unless it is made of tomato, eggplant, bell pepper, chili, zucchini and lemon

Ketchup is a smoothie.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Cereal is just crunchy instant porridge.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Whenever people complain about "legalese" or technical language, I always think of the hotdog/sandwich thing. Abstruse nomenclature exists for a reason!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Taxonomists exist for a reason, y'all!

Cereal belongs to the genus Granum and the family Lactoi but indeed they belong to the same order as soup, or Pulmenti. And while these taxonomies don't always line up with food evolution theory, we at least believe oatmeal and cereal are cousins from a similar ancestral food. Soup just happens to be a common, perfect form, like crabs.

Only if you boil it

Fruit empanada.

How many sandwiches are in a salad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

All of them

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Only if you heat it up.

Cheerios in cold milk = not soup

Porridge = soup

Gazpacho is not soup, is a juice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

[Arnold Rimmer disliked that.]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Additional counterpoint against pedantry: borscht, vichyssoise, okroshka, naengmyeon . . . there are more but my brain is broke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

God damn i want some borscht

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Gazpacho was a better counterpoint than borscht, as borscht is heated, it's just often cooled back down before serving

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Gazpacho is a vegetable smoothie
