/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.

That is a misconception! Star Trek is, in fact, a show about the weirdest chairs you've ever seen.
Personal Note: Why oh why can't we have better microblogging interaction and I have to keep making the crossposts manually π₯²
Fun fact: Star Trek set designers don't typically build weird alien chairs. They just go buy them. Those are real products for humans!

Every so often I continue to be impressed with some of the unexpectedly specific sites that someone took the time to make.
Right?! This is why the internet doesn't totally suck yet!
The cups too; a lot of the glassware in TNG was made by Bodum, and in DS9 by Highwave.
I've always loved the idea of non-human chairs that confirm to other body structures.
The Snakeellian diplomat greeted the Captain with a solemn but kind face. Despite their opposing objectives, both sides knew an alience must be formed or both parties would be destroyed. "Please, have a seat," he said, gesturing to a horizontal spike poking through a ring held together with a thin vertical pole
This TNG Engineering chair came with the toy version of the warp core. I have never been able to get any action figure to sit in it without tape, glue, or something to support it.
I love to imagine that meeting
It's a saddle!
Worf: I don't want to go to school today!
There have been many ways, both formal and informal, to try and measure human progress towards a proper, humanist utopia. In the 20th century, the Human Development Index was created as a measurement. Karl Marx famously pointed out as a rule of thumb: "Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex". But all of those were, in fact, wrong.
It was only centuries after, when without a doubt, the true measurement of progress was found: The Chair Weirdness Index.
We are so freaking developed...
TIL that this is what I needed to feel better today, thank you! π
In Odos defense he could be the chair
You know all those scenes where Kira was sitting on a chair but Odo was nowhere to be seen?
He was there.

oh crap, someone beat me to this one
When you see how Riker sits down, you have to concede that so-called "normal" chairs just don't cut it.
They have evolved beyond the need for money, competition or comfort for both buttcheeks. They are truly free.
What I love about this is the set builders all assumed alien cultures all had a form of chair.
Some people do like to just stand
SITTING IS IRRELEVANT
Omg I didn't even think about the Borg when I made that comment
I am pretty sure that Ive seen that scene on the next generation. Haven't watch DS9 yet though so can't tell.
That is impossible. Odo is not in TNG.
I think they meant the first photo but canβt remember if Worf is on the Enterprise or DS9 there when his parents arrive.
Yeah I didn't even notice the other pictures until later π€¦
