/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.

Vulcans that sync their Pon Far leads to real life PornHub with chainsaws

[–] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so is this why they keep it to one or two Vulcans on each Starfleet ship

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

And why they put up with humans in the first place. To prevent the population of Vulcan from humping itself to death.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's probably why their baseball team lost

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Something about the lighting in this still makes them look like wax figures.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That describes how I felt about that very well. Something always seemed a little odd

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Could also be jaundice from liver disease. Drawback of having to be Vulcan with a rod permanently crammed up their ass.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The premise is that they are all Pon Farring, so something is definitely amiss

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Random thought: do Romulans have Pon Far, or is it a trait the Vulcans picked up some time after the Romulan Exodos?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Would make sense that the self imposed emotional repression would result in the periodic explosion that became pon farr.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Without the emotional repression the Romulans probably hump more than Irish Catholic rabbits. Which is likely how they're able to fully staff a massive navy which rivals the federation

[–] smayonak@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They were supposedly modeled after Athenian democracy (vulcan) and Roman imperialism (romulus = Rome = Roman founder). So you know some kinky orgies be going down

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don't watch Star Wars; what's a "porn far"?

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It's when you watch Darth Ron Jeremy on the holo projector.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago

Even though you wrote it wrong, you are not far off.

Basically Vulcans have learned to suppress their emotions. But once in a while they get an immense urge to procreate that overwhelms their logic and makes them go feral for sex.
