Porn. Lots.. and lots... and LOTS of porn.

Now the real chestnut observation from days past.

All of that has to go somewhere. Ships recycle a LOT of stuff. Replicators effecitvly ensure that Stuff gets turned into Stuff you can use. However it's easier to turn Stuff into Stuff when that Stuff already has the protines, fats, and such that the end product wants to use.

Ergo ipso...

When Troi was ordering that chocolate cake, she's eating riker splooge.

I’d think it would’ve been Worf splooge, considering Troi had a thing for dark chocolate.

OK you know what. I can't complain, I walked right into that one.

Ewwwww what the hell am I reading lol :D

Statistically, it's mostly Barklay's...

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

I mean, I generally don't want to know what anyone does alone on the hollow deck.

and I'm pretty sure that Barclay's a freak, so.... we'll just leave that right there.

The setup is different for each person, but it all kinda ends the same. Any which way you go, the holodeck filter has to be cleaned out.

[-] ExhaleSmile@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Haha, you had that Lower Decks reference picked out as you were posting this, didn't you. 😁

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

It was in my mind already. Can't seem to shake the thought.

I would only do medieval plays and Sherlock Holmes stories thank you very much.... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...and probably some furry porn...

Jordi, is that you?

It baffles me the lack of privacy in the holodecks. At least on federation ships, I don’t remember the ones from Quark’s being accessed by anybody when in use with the same liberty as on the ships.

They enter on others personal fantasies while running (or load a personal program from another person, people sometimes load others person programs), imagine enter on on an R-rated Barclay program while it is in use or load Tuvok’s wife program to help him through Pom Farr.

Considering the lack of privacy and the massive energy expenditure of the holodeck, I feel like a crewmember would be better off heading to sickbay for a hypo full of 23rd century saltpeter. "Turn me off, doc."

Always feels hilarious seeing this screencap from Survivor: Gabon pop in random places.

It's better as a gif. Been awhile since I've seen the gif. https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-05-2015/RiRbcP.gif

I saw this when it aired and I remember laughing my ass off, but now I can't remember what actually happened.

[-] Ydna@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

... I'll be in my bunk

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I really enjoyed the Oroville's multiple takes on the hollo-deck, it's probably not healthy for you or your relations to get addicted to it

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
