/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.

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica!

If someone feels safer around a bear than they'd feel around me, then I'd also feel safer if that person chose the bear.

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

Like I keep saying in these threads, please pick the bear. I'm out in the woods hiking alone because I want to be away from people, thanks.

Fates worse than death aside I really do feel like people expect a good outcome from a wild animal and that's simply never going to be the case.

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

I want to print this on my wall

"No, I really don't, because it's an Earth animal I have no knowledge of. But no matter what it's like, it's still preferable to you."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Fucking hell this is so good.

If i saw a bear in space id freak the fuck out man

[–] [email protected] 69 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't mean to worry you but...

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

That's some bullshit right there! The joined up stars don't look anything like a bear in either case!

I guess "pans with long handles" doesn't sound romantic enough to stargazers..

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

If it makes you feel better, that's not Ursa major shown in the picture. The big dipper is just the tail of the bear.

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

Bears don't even have long tails!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Still looks like how a drunk child would draw a bear. At best.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It's a racing bear, look at the aerodynamics

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

You're not wrong. But given how early cave paintings look, maybe bears looked different back then...

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

I'm convinced early astronomers were on shrooms or something

Halsin has entered the chat

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

I misread this as Halsey and now the bear is singing, I'm not a bear, I'm a god.

In a non enclosed space out in the middle of nowhere you'd never see a bear, because it would intentionally evade the very smell of a person. They can smell like 10 maybe even 25 miles, you'd never know a bear was with you.

Bears hate humans, all types of bears.

It's just most bears really love trash, and trash is where humans are.

But even as a dude I wouldn't want to be stuck with another random dude instead of a bear. Honestly anyone that would choose a human over a bear is either a little suspect or just has zero knowledge of nature right when that's going to be very important.

Anybody who wouldn't be a liability in the wilderness picks bear.

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

I've seen bears before. Bears have been surprised to see me. That's just dumb.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Everything you said here is negated by the fact that he's talking about Bajoran bears who especially like to eat former Bajoran rebel fighters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

The bear would provide a lot more valuable resources. What are you getting off a human? A few pounds of meat and maybe enough skin to make a vest out of?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'd take the bear over a strange woman too, as in a woman who is a stranger.

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

I'd take the bear over a strange anyone. I hate being around people I don't know. I'd rather be mauled by a bear than be the guy at the party no one knows.

C'mon man, it was right there...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yes, I'm agreeing with you.. it's not an argument, also just emphasizing that it's not really about gender

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I'll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don't want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven't decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

unless it actively hates me for some reason

Now that's a terrifying thought. Just an angry bear with a spiteful rage aimed solely at one person, ignoring everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well in that case I'm okay to travel with THAT man and his angry bear.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Look at that, I found the answer!

Its safer to be with a man in the woods, if that man is being spitefully hunted by a bear who only wants to harm that one particular human being and has no issue with anyone else at all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Maybe ingested someone’s stash of Cocaine?

— but seriously, that movie was funny. A truly stupid concept that I didn’t want to waste time on but found it very entertaining
