Still better than THIS, so yes.

I don't think you understand 40k

I know enough ;-)

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago

At least in both of them humanity survived to explore the stars.

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Smashes button

I dared and....

...yay?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 187 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh Hell no, I don't push the button!

It said shifting into the Star Trek universe; it didn't say anything about time travel or ending up on a planet other than Earth.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 62 points 1 week ago

Also thanks to Discovery's writers, in the further away future there's also a few centuries of dogshit living until they restore the Federation

[-] ragas@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

I still do not recognise this shit as being part of star trek.

Yep, we are on track already to live in the star trek universe. We just have to live through WW3 first and it will be paradise.

The 40k timeline is basically just normal Earth for a few more centuries at least. The Emperor is just out there, somewhere, fucking with shit.

In fact, there would be a golden age on the horizon

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah ironically it would probably be better to be in the 40k universe if it was current day.

So I get transported to a futuristic utopia with Replicators and Holodecks, or I immediately get killed by a Space Marine or whatever.

Either way I don't have to live in this shithole any more. 🤷‍♂️ I'm pressing it.

[-] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it's almost impossible for you to be killed by them.

[-] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

Even on "safe" planets, the average person is basically a slave doing endless, arduous labor with no concern for their lives or well-being, all under the merciless thumb of Imperial dogma. It's just a bad place to end up.

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 week ago

Wait... Are you talking about 40k or current day ?

[-] wizblizz@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago
[-] prole 21 points 1 week ago

So like... No different than here.

[-] realitista@lemmus.org 44 points 1 week ago

Dude just send me back to the '90s pls.

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

As Agent Smith said of '90s New South Wales, "the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization".

You narrowly avoid Warhammer as you see you're on the Enterprise. You're called for a mission. Shortly before you're beamed down you see it. You look down.Your heart starts racing. You're wearing a red shirt.

[-] P1k1e@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Still better than dark eldar

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

When talking about the Star Trek universe, it's important to designate both what time and which one.

Before first contact in any universe? No.

Prime universe? Sure.

Kelvin? Sure, why not?

Mirror universe? No.

Totally-not-the-mirror-universe-from-Picard? Fuck no.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

You get transported to the Trek prime universe. You come out at Wolf-359, and the Borg approach.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago

I, for one, welcome our new Borg overlords.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Ever heard any of the Borg complain about being Borg?

T.b.h, Star Trek universe outside of Federation is also mostly dogshit...

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 27 points 1 week ago

Flee to federation space, theres ships going everywhere, maybe you even get to be a a ~~Kajit or Argonian~~Caitan or Gorn.

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But the button said nothing about transmogrification into other races...
And being a human among Gorn might really suck.

On a completely different note:
Being a (decent) human among Khajit might be fun! :-)

You get transported into the Star Trek universe.

But

You will be transported by the Star Trek transporter.

Is that still you?

[-] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yes, unless consciousness is more than the totality of our biology and there really is a soul or something erather.

I would give my best Matt Damon in Interstellar ".... that's the best chance I have had in years." And then smash my face jnto the button as hard as I could.

[-] dumbass@aussie.zone 11 points 1 week ago

Which part of the star trek universe, because if it's being on voyager, fuck that, but if I get to hang out on Deep Space nine, then I'm so in, instantly befriending Quark.

[-] bobo1900@startrek.website 23 points 1 week ago

You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping

[-] dumbass@aussie.zone 12 points 1 week ago

So there's still a chance to get to ds9, I just gotta steal Jadzias badge, She will be right, she's resilient.

So I go to the 40k universe and all of the other beings are the size of my pinkie...

I mean

In the 40k universe I'd probably die very very fast unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'd risk it. Either way I likely won't survive unless I spawn somewhere good.

[-] Enkrod@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago

The problem with the 40k universe is that "not surviving" doesn't necessarily mean an end to suffering.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Unless the button transports you 40000 years in the future, you'd basically be in modern day but less insane and the Emperor hasn't revealed himself yet. Easily the better option than being dropped into the Bell riots or something. The ST universe Earth is in a bad way compared to the 40k earth at the same time if memory serves.
