  why there are no toilets on any federation ships

  No way, half the time JLP says he’ll be in his ready room he means he’s heading to the porcelain captain’s chair to fire off some earl grey torpedoes.

  In the future you can choose to deuce the traditional way or have it beamed directly out of your colon, and Picard loves his photon bombing rituals.

    I’ve held that theory for years. that due to teleport tech, people no money need toilets, as urine and fecal matter gets teleported out.

    And part of Starfleet training involves potty training, where they have to train on how urinate/defecate during away missions.

      Do teleported urine and feces leave vacuum behind? Because that would mean massive cavitation bubbles in both the bladder and the rectum, immediately collapsing with a loud bang and a momentary increase in temperature over 100°C.

        The transported feces is replaced with whatever the crewmember desires. In Picard’s case, Tea Earl Grey Hot! Riker gets a vibrator. Troi, a particular mix of heroin and qualuudes.

        maybe instead of teleporting out the entire contents of a full rectum, you teleport a ml at a time, or basically teleport every tiny bit as it enters the rectum, same with the bladder.

        Honestly, teleporter tech is criminally underused in that universe.

        can you teleport out co2 from the alveoli and replace with oxygen instead of needing a respirator? imagine 99% of surgeries could be done with teleport tech instead of needing to cut anything.

        fuck, maybe that is how Hypospray works, and how it can inject drugs into the bloodstream without hurting the skin or the clothes they are wearing.

        There is also the transporter buffer, they can put a lot of stuff in the buffer, why not use it for storage? Or maybe a brig?

        One of the Abrahams movie casually made spaceships obsolete by having teleporters that can reach across the galaxy.

        And those are ideas that I came up in a couple minutes of thinking.

        No wonder McCoy hates transporters

      Why would Picard bother when his ready room has his own private toilet?

        He should have a little door that slides open and lets him see the fishes when he’s pooping, and then closed again to hide the head when he’s not using it.

        This. If there’s actually a toilet, then how does it work? I imagine the toilet probably works like the replicators do. You notice how when anyone on board the Enterprise eats, there’s dishes, but no sinks/dishwashers? When they’re finished eating, they literally set the dirty dishes down in the replicator and they’re instantly returned back to energy. I imagine the toilets work under the same principle.

        What are the two spare turbolifts for?

      Actually, I have a very vague memory of them teleporting a baby out of the mother during birth when there were complications, at the start of a TNG episode I think. Or did I make that up?

    Photon < Quantum < RECTUM TORPEDOS (or rectal, if you prefer)

  I agree. You gotta look at it like when a love theater actor starts pulling red scarves outta their shirt when their character gets stabbed. Obviously it looks nothing like real blood but bruh. Pipe down and enjoy the play, OK? For a while I followed somebody on tumblr who did art of what each species might look like if star trek had way more sfx resources. They were also a massive scaly LOL a looot of the art was garak/bashir

    although honestly, a play where someone gets stabbed in the first scene, and all the actors are horrified by the fact that instead of bleeding and dying, a red scarf comes out, they see he is still breathing but unresponsive. then they spend the rest of the play having an existential crisis slowly realizing that they are in a play and they will all cease to exist when it’s over.

        Tom Stoppard already pretty much did. Watch ‘Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead’.

        no idea how to write theater or scripts, I did write a short story where someone starts hearing the narrator on his dream and they have a conversation and end up having an existential crisis. even when the narrator promised him that he will forget the dream.
