/c/TenFoward: 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Hot dogs are tacos. Cereal is nachos.
Wtf? Even my descriptivist ass is telling whoever came up with that that they're wrong. A burrito is a calzone? An enchilada is sushi? Words mean what you mean when you say them, but they also need to have some structural stability. Out here calling sushi toast. Wtf.
You poor unsaved soul. No, sushi (such as pigs in a blanket) is sushi. Toast (such as nigiri) is toast.
If I ask for salmon on a bagel, and I get butter on toast, we're having words.
I'm sorry, what's the difference exactly? That's just two terms for a flat layer of starch with non-starch on top. "Toast," if you will.
You're describing a pizza. Toast is a biscotti.
Bru the page literally calls it nigiri sushi
Well of course nigiri sushi isn't a type of sushi.
You think earwigs are an affectation worn by people who are self-conscious about their lack of ear hair? That lightyears are a unit of time? That a urinal cake is a type of lasagna?
Ugh. How awful. How could a burrito be a calzone when a calzone is a ravioli?
When the true Cube Rule believers are rewarded with all manner of toast, sandwiches, tacos, sushi, quiches, calzones, salads, cakes, nachos, and muffins, you'll be sorry you plied your tasteless heresy this day, filthy food miscategorizer! I bet you call hot dogs "sandwiches" like a true troglodite!
Oh, you're just confused, you see. Of course sushi (such as enchaladas) are sushi. See? Would you care to recite the Creed of Cubic Food with me now?
But if those are served in a bread, cereal is quiche
Nachos are open faced sandwiches
A common misconception. You see, nachos are foods composed of a starch within a substrate of non-starch. What you're calling "open faced sandwiches" are a form of "toast" in which non-starch sits atop a layer of starch.
