Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

MODERATORS
431ppm atmosphere CO2 and rising is going to make the oceans into perrier soon enough. 3000ppm needed. 700 years or so trajectory.
Earth is not 71% water… it’s 99.9% rock:
So it's flat and on the rocks.
Change the meme to say "the surface of" and it works
So the ocean is basically the earth’s sweat!
Oceans aren't earth. Them being flat doesn't stop the planet from being round.
And a lot of the earth is carbonate~~d~~.
Only if you forget about the carbonate cycle. Technically the oceans are ever so slightly carbonated.
!But I wouldn't expect a human palette to be able to detect it when they can't even detect their own stench.!<
I can write my knowledge of conversational French on an ant's cock in black marker, but...
I asked a French waiter one day what the French for "sparking rosé" was. It absolutely threw them. I suspect it's the British obsession with rosé, coupled with the fucking heresy that is making wine fizzy to a man who was proud of his countrymen's produce.
I went down the "vin gazeuse?" route like one would do with bottled water, and he looked at me like I'd just shat on his dog. In the end, he just volunteered "vin avec bulles?" and I was like "you know what, that's better than anything I've got so we'll run with it"
I'm pretty sure I gravely damaged Franco-British diplomatic relations there but whatevs, give me my fizzy pink wine, I ain't proud 😊
Rosé pétillant, could be an heresy for an old school winemaker or maybe in a luxurious restaurant, he was being snob either way.
Oh man, are you a FR speaking native/expert? That's awesome and I really appreciate your input.
That, or I'm going to look like a prize twat next time I head over to Calais 😂
Thank you Monsieur 😊
You're welcome 🙂
100% agree.
I had a glass earlier and told my other half that her already fantastic arse would look awesome in jeggings.
Her face would suggest that she vehemently disagreed with my future visual assessment of her skintight posterior.
I ain't bothered 😊
Why would the French consider sparkling wine heresy? They're known for champaign.
It is, but they class champagne as it's own class of drink, not to be confused with the ruffians that drink wine.
It's one of those situations that you know is a thorny one, but I just bumbled into it as a typical Brit.
No problem. We are on the process of fixing it.
I am sitting on the shore, farting in the water to give us an edge.
Too hot to be wrong
