How would a horoscope even work on a starship?

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago

The same way they do now..... They don't!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Well yeah, but I mean within the idea of astrology. It's kind of an interesting question if you think about it. Even within our own solar system... if we become a multiplanetary society and astrology still exists, how is it determined? Do you still decide things based on where other planets are in relation to Earth?

I've been working on a scifi fantasy story idea about pagans on Mars for years. I love the idea of a colonized mars, and pagans with a mars centric religion

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I like that idea. A similar thing I've wondered is about Muslims on another planet. They are supposed to face Mecca when they pray. Which direction does a Muslim on Mars (or even the moon) face?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

I know this one!

So, Muslims on the ISS need to face earth when not possible to determine the location of, or if moving too quickly to reasonably face, mecca. On the moon or another planet, it would presumably be the same. They face earth

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Would that mean they might have to lie on their backs?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Somehow I don't think so... Lol

/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
