Why haven't the ferengi sold the alternate terak nor whatever it's called to the highest bidder yet? Like theres a whole spare ds9 sitting in n space that's common knowledge, empty, and no one wants it?

Yeah, the design is trash and it’s apparently in the middle of nowhere, falling apart. Hell, nobody really wanted Terok Nor except that it already existed in orbit around Bajor, and it would have been impolitic for Starfleet to build one of those big mushroom starbases

Even in little green men when theyre talking about using radiation from nuclear bombs Quark is like "they detonated fission bombs in their ATMOSPHERE?!?"

Very fitting with Gene's vision. Also all that telepathic IMZADI stuff that made it over to TNG's pilot. The question is who would win in a smashfest between a Deltan and a Ferengi?

The TMP novelization goes into a lot more detail about Federation culture at that point, like how dudes like Kirk are cavemen assholes because they need to go out into space to wreck poo poo and all the "New Humans" just chill and do art and sex all day I mean it sounds sort of up it's own rear end but it's almost too easy to make fun of people who aren't into it

You can live in any environment you want, you can have any food or material item you want. You need no currency and are largely free from health concerns, disasters or whatever (except the ones used to create plot in the TV series) and will apparently live to be 100-120+. With a Holodeck you can recreate, relive and modify anything you can imagine in any way you can imagine. If you choose to go get into phaser fights and starship battles all the time instead of just being a pure philosophical being then the pure philosophical beings are probably going to consider you savage because you choose to risk death to be in a military organization. So there are probably billions of stuffy assholes claiming that the Shakespeare reading, classical concerto listening, extremely diplomatic Picard is actually a barbarian.

But FedTech is probably like Computers on roids and by the end of the second month HoloDek 7.5 was probably available for every civilian to have on their PADDs through an interface you placed on your temples. Earth under the Federation is probably lile the worst parts of CineD and D&D smushed together.

Ds9 and Voyager visits Earth a few times and it seems quaint if anything. They got restaurants and cafes instead of just replicating poo poo.

They are genetic subhumans who are bred and raised to like to tend bar and serve drinks. They wouldn't imagine or settle for any other life.

Most of the explorers, frontiersmen, and general society pushers have more or less been assholes. There will always be a segment of the population that have the personality to push the envelope. They will cause strife and discomfort to the average, "gentel" type population. So yeah, Kirk being a " Love to Drink, fight and gently caress! (also explore a bit)" would absolutely fly in the face of people who ....play the flute and discuss philosophical implications of the snail.

He used to be president of earth or some stupid thing so every time Picard needs to ground himself morally he goes home and drinks home grown wine with the hipster king. And the very first episode hes in Picard is all "why dont you use the replicators or agrobots?" And the dude it all "that just ruins the ~experience~" loving star trek invented hipsters.

guys what if geordi was a huge rear end in a top hat to scotty because deep down he was jealous and afraid scotty would want to touch "when you touch the ship you're touching me, geordi (don't let anyone else touch me, or i'll kill you. i'll kill all of you!)"

scotty stumbles into the engine room late at night, drunk off his arse. he sees geordi leaned up facing against the warp core. geordi hastily fumbles his fly back up. "why d'ye have your fly undone for in the engineering, laddy? y'e got a dilithium pussy in there?" geordi coughed and gulped. "hahaha, nice one, scotty..."

i like to think beetle snuff is more ferengi coke than ferengi snortable tobacco, since im pretty sure actual snuff (snortable powdered tobacco) only exists so headshops have a legal excuse to sell cool coke paraphernalia like those cool lil vacuum cleaner coke straws and "snuff bullets" and all that, which is a very ferengi style move in and of itself
