/c/TenForward: 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.

If his glutes were fused it'd make walking difficult

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Plus he has a fully functional plug for the socket in the wall

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He has a functioning cock too.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

Oddly, it didn't get it's own display space.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck it, let's go in the opposite direction. We're not obligated to perfectly emulate human anatomy, so why not give him four ass cheeks? Dual crack technology

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Anything you'd do with a single-assed droid, but four times harder

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 hours ago

At least nobody would accuse you of half-assing it

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

4 ass cheeks, but arranged in quadrants like the galaxy. Still only 1 b-hole right in the galactic center!

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 hours ago

That is exactly what I was picturing, intersecting cracks for maximum output

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 65 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

He is fully functional and programmed in multiple techniques. A wide variety of pleasuring. A fully integrated multi-fetish artificial being.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

"I call him... Fister Roboto."

"But he doesn't just fist! Tell 'em!"

Not the reference i was making but i cackled

If they are fully functional ..... it assumes that they would be capable of providing sexual pleasure for either human sex. The butt crack is just another aspect of being "fully functional" ..... for any sexual event.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

...yes? That was why i quoted naked now?

(And archer but that was just gravy for me)

If they're supposed to mimic humans you'd want at least the shape of a booty. Otherwise you'd have an android walking around with Hank-Hill-Butt

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 hours ago

I just noticed how weird it was to arrange all the body parts in that way in that display.

If the ship had been lost, damaged or abandoned or some reason and an alien species had come upon it .... they would have seen this display and wondered what kind of weird crab like creatures inhabited this ship

[–] teft@lemmy.world 40 points 15 hours ago
[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

So he can wear pants

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago

What does an android need with a dick?

Simple answer; to be fully functional.

(Also, the definition of android is an intelligent, automated machine made to resemble a human...)

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

For poopin silly

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 26 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Heat and air pressure exhaust. It’s full of electronics after all.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He's full of electronics.

Racist.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 6 hours ago

I’m not sure if this is racism per se, but you raise a fair point. I will assume a male preference as Data is always referred to as such without any objection, though I don’t recall him explicitly identifying as male and everyone may be in the wrong here.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You’re telling me that there’s a constant jet of hot air coming out as the CPU fans do their job?

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago

Not "constant" no... more like occasionally it opens and lets it out.

“Smooth as an android’s bottom”

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 47 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 11 points 14 hours ago

Hahahaha, took me a second

[–] chairlegoftruth@lemmy.ml 17 points 15 hours ago
[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

Is it not aesthetically pleasing, sir?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 14 hours ago

Right. Like Soong is going to build an android that can't do a proper slut drop.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Who put the torso on the rack facing forward but the hips facing backwards?

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 9 points 12 hours ago

Someone aware of which body parts do what to a show's age rating I imagine.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Because the prop department didn't wanna fabricate a gold dong

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

You can hang up the hips simply by drilling a hole into the rack

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, he does eat and drink to try and be more human. Where did you think it went?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 14 hours ago (6 children)

Well, he doesn't digest. He doesn't need to digest. So there are several options:

  • temporary internal storage pouch, regurgitated later for recycling, or teleports it directly from his storage unit
  • raw material for some matter:energy converter.
  • mechanism, like a replicator. He takes in food and produces worthless but dense platinum.
  • he's got some simplified equivalent to a digestive system that breaks down biological material.

I lean toward the first. It's the most space efficient, and wouldn't bother him. The second is unlikely because he'd be able to function as an insanely powerful, world destroying bomb. The third is a very Star Trek solution. The fourth seems like a gross waste of space to no end. Is pooping that integral to understanding humans?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Didnt he say at one time he converts some of what he ingests into lubricant or coolant for his internal mechanisms?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 9 hours ago

You may be right. I don't recall, but I believe it if you say so. Maybe Tasha liked him so much because he was "self-lubricating."
