I was just thinking about how when this episode aired, it was only 20ish years after WW2 ended.

This was recent history to everyone, and they were already making social commentary about it here, as well as the episode where they go to the literal Nazi planet.

9/11 is further in the past for us than WW2 was for them.

You take that back! 9/11 was last month. I'm not old.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fuck that I'm not going back to high school. You're old

Where can I sign up for the Eugenics shots?

If I'm going to live in an authoritarian hellscape I'm doing it with genetic enhancements or not at all.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 month ago

You've been genetically enhanced! ..... to work 18 hours a day in a dilithium mine!

[-] teft@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Can it be at this mine?

My luck I'll be sent to Rura Penthe.

I was expecting a face looming in the background tbqh

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Just my luck I'm either in the Control group and get the placebo, or I get in super early trials and end up with the Kane Madness

[-] teft@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Time to change your username to Smike.

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

That sounds suspiciously like hormone therapy. Banned! /s

Given how things have been going for most of the western world I wonder:

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I KNEW this was the mirror universe. I'm making a break for it you guys.

How can he walk through it, yet break it with his fist? I call shenanigans!

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

There's no good explanation for it. Luckily Skeletor is evil

Holy shit, a Star Trek CCG card. That's a blast from the past.

We are the Mirror Universe, not the Prime universe

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

We're in a third alternate universe where we get the Bell Riots, WWIII, nuclear apocalypse, authoritarian government, uncontrolled eugenics programs, no warp engine technology and no Vulcans or alien species coming to save us from ourselves ..... oh yeah but the Borg arrive too.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 21 points 1 month ago

Honestly, the Borg arriving would be something of a mercy. I'd join.

I'm pretty sure that's what Musk is trying for with his brain implants.

But the Borg of this universe can't communicate with eachother. The queen can send orders and the Borg can send up responses or thoughts, but the queen largely ignores non-beneficial thoughts. But because of this, there is a queen each subqueen can send communications to and receive orders from. All the way up to the "CEO queen" who does the bidding of the actual collective "board of queens".

The more powerful queens have simply survived longer and assimilated more, and have spawned enough queens to destroy rival colonies.

Instead of being referred to as the "Borg Collective" they call themselves "Hardworking Individuals".

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

As long as it's not the goddamn Kelvinverse.

The Bell riots never happen in this timeline

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

They’ll happen. Just later. And worse.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Just like the eugenics wars.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You say that, but Star Trek Earth 2025 - 2050 didn't exactly go great, even if they managed to sort things out in the end. It took them at least a whole century to really clean up their act.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, were due a third world war first.

People, it is with great sadness I come to the conclusion that we are the mirror universe.

If Vulcans landed, we would absolutely board their ship and take everything we can.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Kill them, board the ship, take everything we can, attempt to reverse engineer it, find tech that could make life instantly better for over 90% of the population to end world hunger and instantly cure countless diseases injuries and ailments...but instead they patent it and hold back 100 years of progress while some people get obscenely rich

We ended up with the Alternative future, whoopsie.

Can somebody reverse the polarity or something already!? 😜

[-] Lydia_K@startrek.website 14 points 1 month ago

Somebody needs to take Klingonstopher Lyod's bird of prey back in time and fix this already.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month ago

Ugh, fine. Here's my pain amplifier.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

This time, we'll make Spock's rebellion succeed

I stared at this so long I was late for my meeting

/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
