Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

The Eugenics Wars happened with a bunch of genetically modified super soldiers that were created through selective breeding. The term 'Eugenics' often just gets used as short hand within the Trek universe for all types of Genetic Modification in general as genetic modification is illegal in the Federation.
Aye, I was just having this discussion the other day. Star Trek is humanist, not transhumanist.
