Disgusting. I love it! πŸ‘

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 39 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It’s only stupid because an octopus is way too simple. In reality it was way more complicated and disgusting than that. It was some weird bonkers 24th century insanity that we can’t even imagine.

Shame on you and your provincial, limited earth imagination.

Boo!

Is this how they make Ultraporn?

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am really loving the heavy star trek memes here.

Between shapeshifters and the holodeck, my libido would probably actually be able to be tamed.

[–] Disgustoid@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I don't want to think about that poor Ferengi who has to clean DS9's holodecks. Best case, cleaning is fully automated; worst case, Quark can get it done cheaper by lowballing his staff.

An opportunity to link this!!

Life of a holodeck janitor

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I always figured the forcefield system would handle everything πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ either vaporizing it or repulsing it all down a drain.

Actually, IIRC they made a joke about being the holodeck jizzmopper on Lower Decks. πŸ€”

L.D is only semi canon though.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On screen is alpha canon. LD is on screen. LD is alpha canon.

Plus it fits the broader universe way better than TOS, TAS, or Disco do; so it mages sense that it’s just as (if not more) canonical than those.

[–] SlikPikker@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Black Mountain isn't alpha canon

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not quite correct, Shaxs’s claims that it is real are in fact alpha canon.

I’d give up on this if I were you.

Rom. Rom cleans the holosuite. And somehow he's still happy.

"Uhh... I don't mind. Besides, I get all the frosting I can eat. Uhh... Just don't tell my brother... He'd start charging me for it."

Given that transporters exist, and can be used to target specific materials, I would think that it would indeed be an automated process.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the holodeck actually uses modified transporter and replicator technology. That's how you can get food and drink that last outside the holodeck. It's not a huge extension to use it to purge the room of organic residue between uses.

Whether that is cheaper than sending in someone with a mop and bucket however, is unknown.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Given that replicator themselves are resource efficient enough for everyday use, I would think the resource requirements for that would be low enough.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not whether it's low enough, it's whether it's lower than a minimum wage janitor. On a starship, it's obvious it would be self cleaning. With Ferengi involved, I wouldn't be surprised if it's some poor sod pushing a mop.

I suppose it then comes down to whether or not the electricity is free. On a federeration base, I would assume it would be free given that the federation isn't too big on money.

Though the for the duration of the dominion war I would think there would have been limits.

Same relationship raven and beast boy have lol

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eww, gross. Where can I get me one of those?

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 22 points 2 years ago

Gamma Quadrant.

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

I mean let's be real ... once you go changling you can't go back ... no matter your gender/species.

[–] LeftRedditOnJul1@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

This is terrible. Please keep it up with the incorrect quotes!

[–] julianh@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

Kira please stop asking me to turn into anime characters

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine only having sex with eight limbs.

Pathetic

[–] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eight is at least one short for all holes being filled and two for breasts. Better to start with 10 limbs and go up from there.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

... are... Is... Nostrils?

[–] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If every other hall is filled then maybe it's time for breath play.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Do they have octopi in Bajor?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

The white animal life works in the Star Trek universe is planet name plus earth animal name.

So you get Risa Goats, and Klingon battle walrus.

[–] octopus@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

"Tell us about it...oktopodes BTW..." The Greeks

Not exactly, they look like earth octopus but are backwards and ungrateful. They have built no statues to bajoran fishermen.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

His name is Timothy!

turn into an octopus. I command you. I am your superior officer.
