/c/TenFoward: 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. 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'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

In The Original Series in the 60s, people had no idea what the future would look like or what technology would look like. In one of the early episodes, they had a paper print out machine on the bridge that looked like a fax machine, which was considered futuristic in the 1960s.
Like the example of the Enterprise fax machine, what technology or system do you think are we displaying in the current Star Trek shows that will show how dated we will become in the future?
It's mentioned a few times, replicators can work "in reverse". They'll put in trash, dirty dishes, old clothes, whatever is no longer needed back in for the replicator to break back down into energy for later use
Seems like there’s a murder-mystery episode waiting to be written
... or accidents ... imagine placing your finger or hand on a replicator at the wrong possible moment or it just malfunctions and you happen to be standing nearby ... your finger or hand either get dematerialized or augmented with a tuna sandwich and a glass of orange juice.
Like the Prey recyclers. Not something I was aware of, neat.
Side question..
What do they do with the occasional dead bodies? Do they ever bring that up? I'd think that if replicators can work "in reverse", then they should also have their teleporters able to work similarly "in reverse", but not actually teleport the bodies anywhere, but rather absorb the raw atoms, molecules, and energy..
?
Bodies are put in a photon torpedo casing and shot out during a ceremony in a "burial at sea" kind of way or occasionally brought back to earth if you're not lost in the Delta quadrant lol
Oh yeah that's right. I loosely remember the episode when Spock died.. ☹️
They do have a morgue on the Enterprise D, so presumably they just keep bodies there before they go through whatever death rituals the society has.
or if they wait too long .... they just dump you into the replicator and Picard gets to drink your former atoms as his daily cup of hot Earl Grey tea.
Ah, okey dokey, gotcha. Can't say I've seen every episode there is, I haven't seen much Star Trek since the original series and the TNG series.
