Real talk I used to wonder how the ship "cleaned itself" as Riker put it when I was a kid, I figured they use micro transporter beams everywhere. Dirt in the carpet? Beam it directly to the matter storage tanks. poo poo in your rear end? Beam it directly to the matter storage tanks, no need for primative flushing. Best sci fi toliet: Lexx

They probably have special computer protocols in place for Worf's farts.

I’ve always wondered about “waste extraction”, personally. It sounds a bit unpleasant.

Fortunately, it wipes your memory along with everything else, you just enter a door and then you're standing outside feeling emptier. People try not to think about the sounds that come out.

I finished my rewatch of Voyager, honestly this rewatch wasn't as bad as the last one. I even managed to catch some episodes I must have slept through. I am now returning to DS9 , it is good.

I always assumed space toilets in the future would just incinerate poo, or use it as fuel for the ship if applicable As for cleaning, advances in oleophobic surface coatings and sufficient air circulation/filtration would take care of like 90% of day-to-day crud buildup

I mean in Discovery the guy straight up says that poo poo is reconfigured or whatever with replicators to make apples. So I assume there's some sort of matter converter in the toilet.

ENT explicitly mentioned at one point the human waste is recycled, although in a more primitive way than in TNG. It's just a fact of spaceflight and a closed system, you can't afford to waste. In TNG era onwards all the fluff says that it just gets dereplicated and the molecules all go into the matter supply.

i got an idea for a new star trek plot hook. they make a new alloy that's way stronger what they use on the hull, right, except... it's completely edible. how do you decide what to eat and what to keep on the ship, how to handle everyone freaking out about the delicious metal, etc plenty of directions to take it

It's just a fact of spaceflight and a closed system, you can't afford to waste. In the Expanse they even mention that for deep space missions you can't even tolerate minor leaks in vacuum seals because that adds up to a big problem in a few years.

I remember the TNG Tech Manual saying there were huge tanks of just blank ‘matter’ that the replicators drew from to make things, and things got broken down like poop and the plates/glasses/etc to refill them.

I put on an early S4 episode of Voyager after not seeing any for like over a decade and Jesus gently caress Jeri Ryan’s costume is the most Rick Berman bullshit ever. Like did it get less bullshit as the show progressed or something, or am I just misremembering? Didn’t she have to be like sewn into it daily and couldn’t use the restroom while it was on or something? gently caress. It like physically pained my back to see that lovely catsuit way more than any of the stupid one-piece S1 TNG costumes. At least she is getting that Star Trek Picard money laundering easy paycheck like 25 years later for all of that most likely sexist nightmare garbage she endured.

She cycles through tight bodysuits of various colors but nothing as bad as that one.

The silver one was the one that also made her pass out repeatedly, if I recall right. That thing was a death trap.

I remember the doctor being really proud of designing her catsuits, which never made sense - I don't think there was an in-universe reason for having her wear special clothes, right? Like the catsuit formed a Faraday cage that blocked her Borg implants or whatever nonsense. Obviously it was to appeal to a certain audience but there was no reason not to stick her in a standard uniform. They should have had Jellico appear as a hologram to chastise everyone again.

Ron Moore mentioned in a post-trek interview when he was grumbling about Voyager that if they were going to stick Seven in that catsuit they could've at least put Tom Paris in hotpants.
