How do you think they make that Earth-like gravity?

Gravelty, the all natural alternative to artificial gravity.

TIL Federation star ships are made of control panels filled with napalm, gravel and rocks.

At the end of building the ship, did they just back up a gravel truck and dump a few hundred loads of crushed rocks into the empty spaces?

No no; that would be inefficient. You see, there are replicators behind every console, and they dynamically generate rocks and napalm on-demand to increase crew immersion during space combat actions.

They also use extremely poorly insulated electrical wiring that instantly shorts if the ship gets jolted

So what are those in the set? Are they chunks of styrofoam painted grey?

Yup

Came to comment, some poor slob was sent out back with an old tarp and a couple of cans of spray paint.

If I point at it, Imagus expands it. Seem the thumbnail got hosed.

Every Trekkie should be subscribed or at least watching Junkball Transmissions. (Source of the bottom gif.)

The channel is quiet recently, but I doubt it’s dead.

It's a great channel indeed.
