Just how does the universal translator handle idioms and puns, anyway? I imagine every conversation having some Darmok moments.

/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Akshually cheetahs don't live in the jungle, they live on the plains. It would be pretty hard for them to run super fast in the jungle. Like a lot of cats they prefer to be in a more open terrain with not a lot of trees like plains, hills, deserts and mountains.
I know right? It'd be like trying to drive a super-fast speeder bike through the densely-wooded terrain of a forest moon or something.
There are layers to Jellico dads jokes!
Aside from cheetahs, wouldn't most prefer denser vegetation because it makes it easier to hide from prey and predators? It's just that they adapted to a subpar environment because they had an open niche to fill in.
Ok fine. Why can't cats play poker in the jungle?
Too many jaguars
Daaaaym Jellico wrecked'em!
Damn near killed ‘em!
