    I had an idea for a dumb Star Trek meme, based on the episode where they explain how Romulan warp drives work, but extrapolating that to “it boils water and spins a turbine”. Maybe one of the Star Trek memers can take this and run with it?

      You mean black holes as a power source?

      Will technically in Balance of Terror in ToS they were using fusion drives still. They vented excess plasma and wraponized it.

        Yeah, the black hole one. Like, they use the heat generated by the black hole to boil water, spin thingy. Super dumb, could be funny!
