What's the first thing you'd do with a Star Trek holodeck?

Two chicks at the same time.

Read the manual.

Have the computer render a fully accurate copy of myself, then circle my copy slowly, scrutinizing every flaw as they would be seen by others. This will surely be good for my mental health.

Ensure the safeties are enabled.

Disable safety protocols.

Depends entirely on whether or not it has an incognito mode.

Relive a random fun night with my college friends in a bar from 2003 that no longer exists.

Miss you, old friends.

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

i'd be getting my dick mad wet

Set it to humanity's highest point: 1999. Things will get very confusing when they try and break me from the Matrix only to find it we're in the holodeck.

So like ... how private is a holodeck? If the answer is "very", I'm definitely going with sexual fantasies.

Live my fantasy of being a star trek captain.

And during my star trek fantasy, I'd visit the holodeck.

Seven Seven of Nines

Assuming it will keep running indefinitely without maintenance or upkeep.

Go inside. Create a pseudo Renaissance era theme. (With modern medicine). Program it so my bank account in there won’t ever run out of money. Then never leave. Just keep exploring. Have the holo deck just keep reconfiguring itself to effectively allow me to explore large areas.

Get out as fast as I can, considering how often stuff goes terribly wrong on one of those...

everyone know, its going to be PORN.

Finding out where all the fluids would be going after ending the program?

After all the porny sex stuff?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'd simulate being on the Enterprise with my space pals and doing fun stuff on the holodeck.

See if it will run Doom. Safety settings on, of course.

Then Bad Apple in full realism mode.

Your mom.

Lock the door from the inside

read the user manual

No, but seriously, are those things self cleaning or do you have to go all over the floor, walls, and ceiling after you're done with a black light and a mop..?

Is it weird I’d ask it to put me in a ST:TNG episode?

Girls. Sorry but its true. At least at first.

But then once that gets boring, I guess I would create beautiful environments to walk around in.

Bang Margaret Thatcher.

I'm going to go fuck myself. 😃

Also: your username cracks me up 🤣

Remember when Bortus had the holodeck addiction?

Kinda like that.

I can tell you what colour of uniform I wouldn't wear!

Riza simulation

Full Barklay

Well, it'll probably involve tentacles, I can tell you that much.

Bunny Island!!!

Insert funny porn joke.

But in all seriousness? A fully immersive, 100% realistic Dungeons and Dragons game with my friends. Exactly the same as we would run it at our table. We'd hop down to the replicators and holo-disguise generators and make ourselves up like our characters, and I'd just follow them around in a spooky mysterious robe and narrate the story.

That's it. I would run the best D&D game ever, the game of a lifetime, for my best friends.

Simulate a holodeck.

Then simulate myself simulating a holodeck inside that holodeck.

Then...

Can I use to learn the technology of the Star Trek era?
Steal all the patterns Invent unlimited energy, the safe teleportation not the crappy one from early ages, replicator technology, cancer cure, and medicine.

Create a Westworld-type environment.

5 minutes with Seven of Nine

Honestly? The first thought that goes through my head is exactly how strong and responsive the force fields can get. IIRC they can do bullets, as well as the texture and movement of anything normal. So, probably some benchmark involving a bucket of paint I brought in. Start with the paint, then do weird things with the bucket.

Probably use the processing power for something else.

Play DnD first-person

Fuck simulations of real-life environments, I’d run a fantasy RPG campaign.

Depends on what frame of mind I'm in. In a sufficiently devil-may-care mood, I might try and create a Moriarty. Or better, role play as one.

Or figure out how deeply it's possible to nest holodeck simulations before things get funky.

I could be a Q without any collateral damage. Torment Picard and Janeway. Get punched by Sisko. Roll it all back. Q's done the same.

Be a (male) Mary Sue in any TV show universe I've ever watched and not be judged for poor writing... Although O'Brien did appear to think he could discern sarcasm from the Enterprise computer from time to time.

And of course there's the thing that Riker, Barclay and LaForge, if not a good many of the rest of the crew almost certainly got up to in there... I'd be stupid to think I'd not try that at least once.

Install Doom.

I would want to do so many things. I would want to do a ninja warrior type course, but with adjusted gravity or something. I'd make it into a gym with everything I need for my workout. That or maybe recreate a sports stadium and watch football from today, because I missed all of it? The possibilities are endless

Used or new?

Computer, show me the warp core!

Set myself up as Spider-Man. Its what I wanted to do since I was 7. Then some weird sex stuff.

Find some way to jam the door so that no one can ever drag me out.

There are a lot of good answers, probably some good simulators of things that already exist, programs people have made... I would test the ship's AI/learning capabilities, show it some old photos of my family and of memories past and see if it can recreate things like that. Since I don't have video of these people, I'd have to fine-tune their personalities and I'd have to remind myself I'd always be looking back — being that they aren't real people, I wouldn't be able to ask them about things they don't really know about or anything like that. It would be (more) interesting if we had input from a bunch of people who knew them, to sort of fill out the personality and try to remove biases.

But yeah, I think I'd start by showing it every photo I have of my childhood home and try to go back there, just to see it again.

And yeah, you can kinda/sorta do stuff like that now, there are programs... but that's my answer.

See if I can hook it into SteamVR and launch Resonite in there.

Might need some virtual controllers to do menu button stuff, but that should be easy.

Infinite downhill MTB track.

Sit on a nice quiet beach at sunset and listen to the waves with absolutely no other people around.

World domination fantasy

First thing that came to mind was just getting to say bye to my grandpa, who got sick and passed away before I had an opportunity to visit. I know it wouldn't really be him, but I think it would be good for me to be able to get that closure.

After that, I'd probably go do some of the crazy fun stuff other folks are suggesting.

Skyrim.

Reese Witherspoon....

D&D adventure complete with magic. Assuming I have a holodeck im already living in space, but if we had the tech and were not in space then after D&D it would be a Star Trek bridge explorer campaign.

Have some fun with a bunch of Boimler clones.

Fly a P51 or an fw190. But not before I'm sure Riker has properly cleaned up after himself; I'm bringing luminol

Head to Lordran

Lol. Guys come on. It's the first thing everyone would do.

Boring perhaps but loads of experiences that are impractical IRL:

• Rally and circuit racing
• Flying various aircraft
• Explore non-Euclidian spaces
• Combat sports
• Perform cool roles in musical theatre
• Unload a barge like in those viral videos

Lure trump and all his Nazi cohorts into it, and disable escape. Let them live in their own fantasy hellscape and leave us alone

fire up Dark Souls

deactivate safety protocols

get some random Klingon from the streets as a commentator

broadcast livestream to Romulan territory

Two chicks at the same time.

Aztec historical simulator.

Run Resident Evil 2 on it

First thing? Definitely google what it is and why I have one.
