I haven’t watched Star Trek since DS9 and refuse to watch anything made after Enterprise.

Can someone please elaborate what in heavens name is going on this meme is talking about?

In Voyager there was a two parter episode that involved another Starfleet ship stranded in the Delta Quadrant. They were capturing extra-dimensional beings and using their corpses to power their starship so they could get home faster.

In Discovery, the ship uses a unique propulsion method that utilizes spores and fungal properties.

The meme is mocking people who say that travel via mushrooms is stupid while having no issue with the usage of alien ghost corpses to power their ship.

Just say "Body Thetans," it's okay to admit that some Starfleeters are secretly Scientologists.

So it sounds like Voyager is set in the Warhammer 40k universe then, since the Warp in that lore is a roiling storm of madness and joy of all the thrashing souls of everything sentient that ever lived (and sometimes not sentient, such as literal concepts of thought like hatred, and even forgotten gods of long dead ancient religions) since the beginning of time.

.... not even close and I have literally no idea how you managed to get to Gelar shields from that but okay.

I'm going to check out of this conversation. Nothing seems to be gained from this.

Got a question for ye. What weighs more: an isogram of dilithium, or an isogram of mycelium? Take your time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Depends on what isogram we're talking about. The measurement system in Trek? Then neither weighs more as they're both one isogram.

If you're talking about the phrase measurement then neither as neither 'isogram of mycelium' or 'isogram of dilithium' share an equal amount of letters
