/c/TenForward: 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.

Spock: "Your logic is inspiring, Captain."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

This joke is not feasible in French.

The word to translate "what" in a sentence is "quoi", but for this question we'll use the contraction "que + est + ce" (that + is + it) -> "Qu'est-ce qui commence par un W et termine par un T ?".

So we may say Q and E but caused by the contraction of the 2 E it doesn't end with a E in this sentence anymore.

Another way to say it, more literarily "Quel mot commence..." (what word starts...) but it breaks the affirmative way of reading.

To approach the English way : "Quoi commence par un Q et termine par un I.". Some child would fall into the question trap but no adult due to the fact that it's not a proper interrogative word, the questions you can do with "quoi" are : "quoi?" (what?), "De quoi tu parles ?" (what are you talking about?) and "À quoi tu penses ? " (What are you thinking about?).

Only if you spell it correctly, waka waka!

In the meantime, obligatory

The last panel could either be Kirk being upset with Spock or just him contemplating what the answer is still. Love it.

No “it” doesn’t, “what” does.

You know, the problem with pulling out the really old classics like that, is that most of us don’t know who Abbot and Costello is.

Read the title, and my first thought was "wet".
