/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.

Yet another species falls to the gay agenda.

First they came for the penguins, then those two lions getting on the ark, now the whales?!

There's a species of gecko that is virtually all females (and what few males exist are infertile), but which sometimes still mate with eachother (there's no genetic transfer, it apparently can just stimulate their bodies to produce offspring or something). Ive got to wonder how those "homosexuality isn't natural!" people would react to them.

My favorite is that female hyenas have a pseudopenis that makes it very hard to tell them from the male hyenas.

I don't know, but it probably involves vaccines.

Those two homosexuals are NOT natural!

I was too drunk to make this meme last night, but I’m very glad someone finally did

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

To be fair- I did not make it, I saw it elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Maybe @[email protected] made it and just forgot it.

I hate the articles finding excuses for why two male humpbacks were, well, humping.

"Maybe they were practising for a future female?" No bitch, maybe they're gay. Jesus Christ does it need to be that complicated?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I don't know if I would necessarily frame it as them being gay. Gay/straight may not even apply to whales. They may be like bonobos and just have sex with each other in all sorts of ways and combinations. They probably do have sex for pleasure since dolphins do. For all we know, both of these whales have fucked their way across the ocean with any whale they encountered.

But for sure there is a huge amount of evidence of same-sex copulation in the animal world no matter what you want to call it.

Did the top hump the bottom's back? That's where they get their name, right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Or maybe they like to hump and they keep coming back for more!
