Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.

I know people who only poop at home. I can't imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology... Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.

Can’t you get it to clean itself?

[–] darth_helmet@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a job in Lower Decks which I think makes it canon.

That being said, it would be hilarious if holodecks can be self-cleaning but they still make ensigns do it anyway to “build character”

Maybe it’s the worst job because it’s really boring. You just go “Computer, run holodeck cleaning” and wait for it to finish?

Scraping carbon off of slightly harder carbon using phasers. Apparently it's a manual job.

Yeah Star Trek is so silly about manual tasks. You’d think they’d have Phaser Roombas (Phoombas). Like it’s either get a crew member to do it or you end up with an evil AI and barely any in between.

Time would go so much slower without something to do

Sometimes it's both.

It’s a matter assembler disassembler. Should be perfect for it.

On the other hand people wear costumes to the holodeck so I’m not sure.

It's holograms and force fields, that's why if you take anything out of the holodeck it disappears.

Unless it's snow obviously. I suppose that might have been actually replicated.
