I know people who only poop at home. I can’t imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology… Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.

    We didn’t need any more supporting data to cement “cleaning out the holodecks” as the worst job in starfleet

        It’s a job in Lower Decks which I think makes it canon.

        That being said, it would be hilarious if holodecks can be self-cleaning but they still make ensigns do it anyway to “build character”

          Maybe it’s the worst job because it’s really boring. You just go “Computer, run holodeck cleaning” and wait for it to finish?

            Scraping carbon off of slightly harder carbon using phasers. Apparently it’s a manual job.

              Yeah Star Trek is so silly about manual tasks. You’d think they’d have Phaser Roombas (Phoombas). Like it’s either get a crew member to do it or you end up with an evil AI and barely any in between.

                  Slower? Sure, I’ll grant you that.

                  However, there are some things in life I’d rather not do, even if it resulted in being bored out of my mind.

                  And I hate, hate, being bored.

                Sometimes it’s both.

        It’s a matter assembler disassembler. Should be perfect for it.

        On the other hand people wear costumes to the holodeck so I’m not sure.

          I think that’s more so they can be prepared to get into character before they go into the simulation. Less to do with the need for the costume.

          It’s holograms and force fields, that’s why if you take anything out of the holodeck it disappears.

    Actually, I tend to think of this ship as home. But if it’s Earth you’re talking about, I try to get back whenever I can.

    Isn’t that implied in a Lower Decks episode That people mainly use the holodeck for the bathroom

    They have their appartement and family on the ship though. Isn’t it their home at some point?
