Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis 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 CargoSome 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 TrekPosts 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.

don't forget to call the Chicago Clitoris "The Bean" he hates that.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

TIL that The Bean is actually called "Cloud Gate".

no one calls it that except Anish Kapoor. just call it The Bean, or Illinois's Clitoris.

It's obviously an internationally known iconic landmark and I was 100% convinced it was "The Bean". If I got asked that in a pub quiz and didn't get the point for "The Bean" or "The Chicago Bean" I'd be raging.

I will only ever refer to it as "The Bean". Bonus points that it annoys him.

If we all call that, then that is the name. that's how language works

Would be really funny to paint the bean with the pinkest pink that he's not allowed to use

then run one out, I think Chicago needs some volunteers to rub it for a bit

Only a dipshit from Chicago would… yeah never mind
