  • An independent power system doesn't mean the holodeck doesn't still use power. It wasn't until much later in the series that Jeanway started considering a more regular use for the holodeck as a common recreational area. Before that everything had to be rationed quite strictly. So... No... Not they couldn't just replace replicator rations with replicated holodeck food because the same problem exists with both.

    In short; the holodeck doesn't "magic" its own power into existence.

    Thw holodeck room can easily accommodate a whole lot of people. It's pretty large. Perhaps not the entire ship's crew, but I can't remember an episode where literally EVERYONE on the ship was stuck on the holodeck. If you consider that it's not actually necessary for attendants to physically move around (they can walk in-place) you are only really left with the creation of the illusion and the logistics it have tightly localised illusions happening around each individual.

    It would've been an interesting problem to explore in an episode; the performance of the illusion with the holodeck full of people vs the holodeck having to just accomodate two or three individuals. It's just one of those things that Star Trek never did, and considering the types of stories NuTrek prefers to tell, never will.

  • Both this post and that one scene from Lower Decks forgets how holodecks work (no surprise from LD. It tries to insert humour at the expense of lore the whole bloody time...)

    Anyway...

    The holodeck, as established in the very first episode of TNG, is also a replicator. Throughout TNG, DS9, and VOY we see multiple instances that a replicator works both ways. Cleaning the dishes is a matter (hah) of putting it all back into the replicator and watching it get turned back into energy.

    When you create a bar or a restaurant on the holodeck, all the food and drink there is real. You really eat and drink something, it has real flavour. Snow, water, mud, are all real too (Wesley Crusher got snow on Picard's uniform one time when exiting the holodeck). But it all disappears instantly when you command the program to be ended.

    No wonder, then, that certain experimental medical procedures were done on the holodeck in some episodes; it's an incredibly sterile space. Everything that isn't the people who entered the deck instantly gets turned into energy. For all the "holodeck gone wrong" episodes, none of them had a situation where a person accidentally gets vapourised. Damn thing is safer than a transporter.

    Anyway; yes, very funny. But no, that's not how holodecks work. Nobody needs to clean your cum off the walls.

  • Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media?

  • I guess I still use Bluesky?

    Issue for me with social media is it feels like such an awful chore. I don't understand how people basically live on a platform.
