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.

We didn’t need any more supporting data to cement “cleaning out the holodecks” as the worst job in starfleet

Can’t you get it to clean itself?

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

Slower? Sure, I'll grant you that.
However, there are some things in life I'd rather not do, even if it resulted in being bored out of my mind.
And I hate, hate, being bored.

Sometimes it's both.
Sharpiemarker@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y
Lol agreed!

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.
D1G17AL@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
I think that's more so they can be prepared to get into character before they go into the simulation. Less to do with the need for the costume.

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.

Man, cleaning out the bio filters was bad enough with all the porn…

Actually, I tend to think of this ship as home. But if it's Earth you're talking about, I try to get back whenever I can.

Someone has probably used transporter technology to Harry Potter their poop away
netburnr@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
Like before you even go to the bathroom. That would be super weird feeling.

“O’Brien, set biofilters for feces and urine”

Have you ever had a gas bubble in your gut that shifted and now you feel fine?
ikapoz@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
A whole new spin on a “transporter buffer overflow”.
metaStatic@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y
What are you keeping in the buffer doc?
TeaHands@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
I hate how right you are.

They have their appartement and family on the ship though. Isn't it their home at some point?

Isn't that implied in a Lower Decks episode That people mainly use the holodeck for the bathroom
digger@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 2y
That all depends on what you're using the bathroom for.

Blumpkin?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 2 pts · 2y
To jerk off. That's why it sucks to have to clean them.

Seeing as how the lower deckers have shared communal space at all times when off duty, I too, would want a nice private place to spank the space monkey
