/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Grate that entire block, and then go get another one.
Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of Parmesan cheese." What I said was, "Give me all the Parmesan cheese you have."
Fun fact, they save the small blocks for people they know like to play that game.
Make it snow!
I've often dreamed of opening a restaurant just to indulge people's worst impulses: Huge burritos filled with nothing but sour cream and guacamole, sub sandwiches filled with triple-toppings and cheese without the customer even having to ask, steaming hot cups of milk and sugar without any bitter, nasty coffee -- and of course, punch bowls full of nothing but shredded Parmesan cheese and a spoon.

OK, but what about the opposite, like a shot of coldbrew coffee, served almost frozen, with 300 mg of powdered caffeine?
"POW I just shit. my pants!"
Alright, that's a start, but maybe we workshop the name a bit.
Funny how yall seem to like it shredded, I prefer half-transparent thin slices on a fat-fat piece of bread.
When you open up, can I come?
Also will there be a soft serve station?
Of course! Don't know about soft serve necessarily, but we'll definitely serve full bowls of sprinkles.
Man, fuck that place, they bring out a single breadstick at a time after the first small ass-basket.
Also… they don’t salt the pasta water.
Just make sure someone instantly takes it (work as a group, so you all know exactly who's grabbing it). Then give them the basket right back. They'll figure it out after the 2-3 run that they need to stop fucking around and get back to their other tables.
FIGHT THE SYSTEM!
Usually, it goes 2 to 3 seconds on the parm. It's already swimming in butter.
So you need all the parm to soak up the butter.
That's fair 😆
Waiter: ...... sir? .... this is my third block of cheese? ... (keeps grinding more cheese)
I've actually asked and they'll do exactly that. It's apparently policy for them not to ask and to only stop when you tell them. Even if they have those prefilled, hand-crank shredders they use now, they'll just calmly set it down and pickup another, then go back to shredding.
I've been so tempted ever since, every time I'm dragged back there by family/friends/etc. Just to see the looks on their faces.
If you see this… tip them well.
Just like harvesting gold flakes outside gold shops in NYC, you can find Parmesan within the tile separations on the floor of the Olive garden. Just remember to bring your tools and you'll be fine.
