Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Frankenstein's monster?
Everyone seem to have just absorbed the schlocky, lumbering movie version of the monster.
In the book, he's a fucking superhuman, going on inhuman endurance treks across the alps, throwing boulders, fucking video game character style platforming across icebergs in the Arctic.
The fact* that no one ever comments on or reacts in surprise to Data's body temp following physical contact with him (even though many people react to his appearance, especially on first meeting) leads me to assume that it's actual pretty close to standard humanoid temps. Perhaps his circuits run warm.
*IIRC; please correct me if I'm wrong
In Fully Dilated, LD S05E07, Mariner makes a reference to alternate Data's head being warmer than expected, but that might not count cause it's an alt Data.
i mean, it's not like it's difficult to implement and it's a pretty core part of human bodies. I'd assume data also has a simulated heartbeat and the ability to "breathe".
Say mah name say mah name~
Early seasons of TNG, Data is such a babe.
