  Riker’s toilet would be placed right in the middle of a room … so that he could walk up to it, swing his leg over and sit down

  Do it somewhere on the holodeck.

    Explains a lot about why Mariner and Boimler hate holodeck waste removal.

  I can't find the exact timestamp but Jonathan Frakes does point out the single bathroom on the Enterprise D in the 1994 documentary "Journey's End: The Saga of Star Trek — The Next Generation."

  But why would you use it when you can just use the holodeck? (crude humor warning)

  Can’t you just go onto the transporter?

  • MajorHavoc@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You can, but you have to bribe Chief O’Brien, or it’ll turn up somewhere awkward.

    Can’t transport the smell away.

      pretty sure you can, would be strange if transporters can’t handle gases…

  And here’s me about two hours away from my copy of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual to debunk this obvious joke with a picture of all the architectural diagrams where it calls out places where one might find a head, including, IIRC, the Ready Room, of which I imagine Riker probably avails himself on the regular.

    Bring the manual and I’ll bring a bottle of green juice well make it a party.

    I believe there’s one directly off the bridge, near the door to the conference room.

  I mean, they have a transporter right? Couldn’t they just beam waste into a holding container or out into space? In discovery they say they recycle everything so maybe it just gets beamed to Kieko’s Arboretum lol.

    The whole idea of Replicators and Transporters is that they have some technology which can efficiently convert matter and energy, so it’s possible that they use some sort of reverse-replicator to process waste.

    You also never see what they do with the glass cups the replicators create when someone asks for a drink…

    • EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think in DS9 they sometimes put the leftovers back into the replicator for de-replication but they’re Cardassian so they might work differently.

    By the 32nd Century, it is confirmed canon that human waste is directly reused for food replicators. “It’s pretty good for shit.” - Admiral Vance

    It’s less clear whether that’s true for earlier eras or not, but the existence of “matter recyclers” sure implies it.

  My headcanon is that in public / guest quarters the toilet stalls contain miniature holodeck emitters so that they can instantly change to accommodate the customs / biology of any species. Even assuming that, say, Klingons excrete waste from the same places that humans do, they might prefer to do so while dangling from a bar in the ceiling or something else torturous like that, and find the use of a regular sitting toilet unclean or dishonorable.

  • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    new headcanon: klingons actually have extremely prim and proper toilet habits, to pee standing or leave without washing your hands is immediately punishable by dishonorable death. They WILL NOT do number 2 without confirmed access to a bidet.

  So… about that…

  There was a bathroom on the bridge.

  • negativenull@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The more you know!

    memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bathroom

    The head was visible in a few episodes, but while the doorway was initially labeled “CONFERENCE” in “Gambit, Part II”, it was relabelled “HEAD” by “Emergence”. In addition, in episodes throughout the seventh season, multiple crew members can be seen simultaneously entering the bridge via the head. It is unclear how many toilets are available for use in the head on the main bridge.

    source

    • Stamets@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think the best part is that the really clear picture of it saying Head is from the interactive TNG Tech Manual which was narrated by Frakes. I love the idea that Frakes knew exactly where the bathroom was but Riker kept running around screaming to the transporter room for a “Number Ones number two emergency”.

    What do you think the transporter chief is busy doing when nobody is going anywhere?

  The original Enterprise definitely had bathrooms.

  I hope he flushed when I was done, or someone might see the science officer’s log.
