    Carbon dioxide is bodily waste and we aren’t weirded out by trees craving it.

      Bashir: Wait, are the trees male or female?
      Garak: Should that make a difference?
      Bashir: It makes a difference!

    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?

          I also love how it’s bleeped out what type of filter it is but even with how quick he says it and the mouth movement there’s no way it isn’t “cum filter”.

        I forgot about that. But that begs the question on whether the real toilets also have a shit filter.

      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.

    Nah they don’t have toilets. They just use transportation to get it out automatically whenever it’s there. /s

    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?

      Unless everybody gets real cool about recycled air and water real quick, this space fleet isn’t going anywhere far

      They can convert matter and energy back and forth. The food is created from energy, there’s no recycling

    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).
