/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.

the universe in a bud
doesn't need to he can just give ryker short legs. that way every chair is to tall.
"It wasn't no Q. It was them cable-faced bastards at Wolf 359. A Borgo torpedo hit my vessel and then the robobastards boarded us. I killed fitty of them but they kept coming! First, they got Fatty, then they got Stinky, and finally they popped Brooklyn.
I made it in an escape pod to a moon, but it was full of the Borgotrons! They were spitting on the Federation flag! So I rushed 'em, but it was a trap. They opened fire and blew my shins off. Last thing I remember, I beat 'em all to death with a big piece of Fatty. I woke up in a field hospital, and they were sewing my feet to my knees. I ain't been able to climb over a chair since."
"He purportedly killed 'Fidy men,' though his claim is suspect."
Yes.
DOUBT
Q can make a chair that is continuously growing for eternity, he could make a chair the size of the universe. Riker is limited by his physical height of 7ft 4, so all he has to do is make a 9ft tall chair, even if Riker is flexible enough to get his leg vertical he still wouldn't be able to do it.
I'm still not convinced.
Unless... Riker specifically maintained just enough Q power to counteract this, his one and only weakness, at the end of Hide and Q.
If Riker had kept some of the Q powers and knew he had them, then he's a prick, he could have solved a lot of their problems with even a 10th of Q's power, but even then, his power would be dramatically lower that Q's, so Q could still create a chair that Riker can't get a leg over.
See I was thinking he retained an infinite level of power, but only within the incredibly small domain of being able to finagle over any chair, physics be damned.
Q could still create a chair that he couldn't put a leg over, even if physics be damned, because Rikers powers are solely leg over chair, Q has an infinite amount of things he can do with his powers, he could recreate the universe to grow the chair the microsecond his leg starts to reach the top so he couldn't do it, he could stop him at the quantum level, there's absolutely no way Riker could one up Q, even when Riker had full power, Q still had control.
K, since this has become the only content in this community, I have to ask: does anyone actually know how the Blazin Bev thing started?
There was a thread a few months ago that basically fell into character memes and it was a comment name for her iirc. Someone liked it and made a meme that was popular so it just got turned into lemmy beans: trek
Noooo! Don't mention the "B" word, lest you summon another tsunami!
