Voyager can't talk shit because it runs on lab-grown living brain tissue

Hey! Bioneural gel packs make the Voyager smart and not at all silently screaming in existential terror!

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I have no mouth and I must scream

The cheese cometh....

That’s what they made us think

returns to fluidic space to complain online about trek physical accuracy

"Replicator, give me a slice of mushroom pizza."

"Hot or cold."

"Hot."

"Space-warping travel mushrooms or the ones that grow on old logs."

"Uh, the log ones I guess."

"Coward."

Majel Barrett's sassy replicator was some of her finest work.

Hey, they are extra dimensional ghost corpses. There's a difference.

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

Spirits of good fortune, not ghosts.

Took me a second to figure out ransomware. Bravo.

To be fair, magic mushrooms actually exist.

[–] lorty@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I watched this one when I was a kid and it fucked me up. I couldn't believe starfleet officers could do that.

The equinos looked cool though

Starship running on mushrooms? Yeah, why not
The mushrooms are some omnipresent thing connecting all space and time together and giving some special super powers somehow? The force stolen you have. Integration of science fantasy into science fiction unasked for was.

Countercounterpoint:

The Q know about the mycelial network, likely because they created it for their own purposes. That's how they can seem to transport anywhere in the universe. Quinn essentially admitted as much when he said that their "magic" is simply very advanced technology. A mycelial network permeating subspace would be right up their alley.

Q to Stamets: "Who do you think put mushrooms on your planet?"

I feel like this place has gotten super mean-spirited lately. Maybe I'm just dropping in at the wrong times but I feel like 80% of the posts and comments I see are backhanded references or jabs at some part of the community and most of the rest is TOS stuff I don't understand that for all I know is also being nasty to somebody.

Does it really have to be like this? I'll leave that to you lot to figure out. Maybe a split is in order, or part of the commagazine will just vanish and never make another Trek joke again.

Also somecritter lemme know if the Disco-Risa/NonDisco-Risa split happens 'cause I kinda still wanna be in one of them. Or maybe both, as long as the fighting quits.

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously. Risa is a community for shit posting and jokes. We are allowed to make fun of ourselves here.

[–] teft@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago

I agree with MrPoopyButthole. We're unserious here but we tend to not put up with actual maliciousness.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Is only joke. Why you heff to be mad?

[–] 7of9@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have often found humans require the ability "make fun of themselves" in order to derive pleasure. For their species this is normal and you should not find it disconcerting.
