Holodecks are scary. If you don’t know what’s real anymore, what stops you from taking a dump directly on the bridge (and no it’s probably not Worf who stops you in time).
I mean, everything is recycled right? So they make it gas, energy, food, or whatever. So the real question is are you okay with bodily waste being atomized and given back to you?
Nah they don’t have toilets. They just use transportation to get it out automatically whenever it’s there. /s
So does the Holodeck get rid of your bodily waste when it ends program or does it just fall out of the hologram toilet? And if the former, is that how all toilets work in the Federation?
In the first episode of tng, Wesley and Data explain that the “simpler” parts of the holodeck scenery is actually replicated, not just projected. I think this was primarily meant to explain how Wesley could walk into the corridors still dripping wet.
But that means at least the water and rocks are real, so when they “end program” it has to reclaim the replicated bits. And that’s how we ended up with “if you don’t shut down the holodeck safely, it reclaims everyone still inside” in one of the early episodes
I was going to type in the commands you used to put in to hang up the hard disk and close DOS in the 80s/90s, but dear gods I’ve forgotten. I’ve finally forgotten.
Carbon dioxide is bodily waste and we aren’t weirded out by trees craving it.
I don’t want to hear any kink-shaming out of you, you slutty little salamander
