/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.

As if it were trash! Possibly the best thing I’ve ever come across in my entire life.

Upon closer inspection, O'Brien seems to have broken his wrist and lost his right thumb. Suffering checks out.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 28 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I mean, Malort is suffering in a bottle.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Had to look it up:

Jeppson's Malört is a notoriously bitter, wormwood-based Swedish liqueur that has become a Chicago cultural icon, known for its intense flavor and "rite of passage" status in the city's drinking culture. Introduced by Swedish immigrant Carl Jeppson, it's a type of bäsk brännvin, traditionally consumed as a digestif, and is famous for its unique, herbal, and citrusy bite that is loved and hated in equal measure.

Sounds about right.

They are well aware of their brand.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Irresponsible? Yes. Good for sales? Somehow, also yes.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can I find this in the SF Bay Area in under 22 hours?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The juice? Easily. I got my last bottle at a total wine.

The poster ... No idea.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shit. I don't think I can take on a whole bottle. Can I just pop by your place for a shot?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm always down for shots of malort.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm in San Mateo until tomorrow night, LMK

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oof, I'm a good hour plus away with any traffic. You can definitely find it in bars though!

Kind of tastes like Sambuca to me, and then the aftertaste is so bitter it seems like you need to call poison control.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It tastes like someone fermented trashcan juice in a skunk's asshole in the dog days of summer.

[–] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 10 points 1 month ago

I've already said yes, you don't have to keep selling it to me.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

You take that back! Malort is golden nectar of the gods!

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Guinan wouldn’t serve that.

Maybe they got the same hand guy that played flute for JL.

Like the juggler in Labyrinth, there was a hand double used in these shots.

Lmao somehow I never actually noticed that, but that totally makes sense

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago

O'Brien and Malort was the crossover I was waiting for this entire time

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago

Someone out there is weeping, retracing their every step. ‘My Malört O’Brien! Where is my Malört O’Brien?!’

[–] teft@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Temporal anomaly. You should alert temporal investigations.

You really don't want to be in possession of something outside its proper time frame when those guys show up.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They’ll have to kill me. This is far too precious to surrender. This is worth dying for.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

The Malort riots changed the course of history

[–] fireweed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah but O'Brien is Irish-Irish, not Chicago-Irish. He wouldn't be caught dead with the stuff.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

The random sticker I found on the ground says otherwise.

[–] teft@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

His ancestors were american irish so maybe it's a heritage drink.

Jesus FUCKING CHRIST. It's like the inside corners of a junk drawer that's been used to store cheetos and crayons for 45 years

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are a good person, and people like to say nice things about you.

Miles ahead of everyone else in Star Trek.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

Brb, gonna go do a shot of Malort.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Cool Meaney

I would frame it!
Or make a fake ID with it!
Or glue it to a stick and make him talk!

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 1 month ago

That's just too much Malort... And he's not even Chicago Irish. That bottle might kill the poor Chief.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

Omg this is radiant.

Look at him, in all his glory telling you “don’t worry lad, everything is ok, go have a feckin drink and party. Fuck the Cardies. You go lad!”.
