OK. So, let's just assume, just theoretically, someone in your future let's you know you don't have a great sense of humor, feel free to come back and read those comments again.

So, you don't understand how a non-sequiter can be amusing, and so ... I'm not funny because I understood a joke?

There's something deeply weird about people insisting that humor has to be logical.

I never said I don't get it, just implied it isn't funny. And it obviously isn't to many people here judging by the votes.

By using fancy terms and feeling the need to link an explanation (the link is broken, by the way) you now give it a self-opinionated flair. Maybe you're the weird one.

You think non-sequiter is a fancy term?

I'm sorry that I explained a joke to someone who said they didn't get it.

I suppose the logical thing to do if you don't think a joke is funny is to complain about it in the comments though, particularly at people who didn't make the joke who just explained it to someone else.

There's the fixed link. Not sure why the encoding went funky.

/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.
