you should post this to the vexillology community

Edit: Fixed the link. Missed the https:// bit which is super important for mobile. Sorry gang.

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

FYI, and this might be a difference between mobile and browser clients, but that link seems to be broken.

[–] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmmmmmm, yeah. I made that on the desktop, but I see it doesn't work on Boost. Even when I try to "Open in Browser". Copying and pasting into Firefox Mobile works tho. Weird.

It's more than a day later, but I will see if I can fix it anyway lol.

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, when I reported it as broken I was on desktop as well.

[–] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

Strange, it always worked on my desktop. I think I fixed it, but apparently I can't tell lol.

Massive origin story for the damn galaxy, never once mentioned ever again.

spoilerIt has in nuTrek as a major plot point!

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

They wanted an explanation about why all species are humanoid, mostly because makeup on an actor is cheaper than making unique species. the explanation sucked, no explanation could have worked.

That is like having a whole 3 part episode on why there are no toilets on any federation ships, or why there is sound in space, or why they don't use seatbelts...

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

why there are no toilets on any federation ships

No way, half the time JLP says he'll be in his ready room he means he's heading to the porcelain captain's chair to fire off some earl grey torpedoes.

In the future you can choose to deuce the traditional way or have it beamed directly out of your colon, and Picard loves his photon bombing rituals.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I've held that theory for years. that due to teleport tech, people no money need toilets, as urine and fecal matter gets teleported out.

And part of Starfleet training involves potty training, where they have to train on how urinate/defecate during away missions.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I want to be a people-no-money-need

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Actually, I have a very vague memory of them teleporting a baby out of the mother during birth when there were complications, at the start of a TNG episode I think. Or did I make that up?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Why would Picard bother when his ready room has his own private toilet?

The only change he needs is to have the aquarium INSIDE the bathroom for quiet reflection.

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

This. If there's actually a toilet, then how does it work? I imagine the toilet probably works like the replicators do. You notice how when anyone on board the Enterprise eats, there's dishes, but no sinks/dishwashers? When they're finished eating, they literally set the dirty dishes down in the replicator and they're instantly returned back to energy. I imagine the toilets work under the same principle.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He should have a little door that slides open and lets him see the fishes when he's pooping, and then closed again to hide the head when he's not using it.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Hilarity ensues when Worf walks into the ready room while that's going on, sees the Captain's distorted face gazing through the spherical fishbowl, and reflexively whips out his phaser and starts blasting what he assumes to be the Monster of the Week.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are the two spare turbolifts for?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One is for emergencies, one is for exclusive use for the Executive Officer in Charge of Radishes.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Do radishes have some important part in the synthesis of dilithium crystals?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Even MORE important.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Do teleported urine and feces leave vacuum behind? Because that would mean massive cavitation bubbles in both the bladder and the rectum, immediately collapsing with a loud bang and a momentary increase in temperature over 100°C. Plus the organ walls experiencing sudden huge acceleration, either shaking the fuck out of other pelvic organs, or straight up ripping. (Must be fun being between the bladder and the rectum at that moment, and the anus is gonna pucker like it never puckered before.)

The alternative is replacing the feces and urine with something of equal volume and pressure, which most probably means either compressed air or water. This would leave you either with water in your bladder and rectum, or large amount of air in your bladder and rectum, which both are of dubious utility and ill advisement.

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The transported feces is replaced with whatever the crewmember desires. In Picard's case, Tea Earl Grey Hot! Riker gets a vibrator. Troi, a particular mix of heroin and qualuudes.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

In Picard's case, Tea Earl Grey Hot

Classy and tasty enema.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

maybe instead of teleporting out the entire contents of a full rectum, you teleport a ml at a time, or basically teleport every tiny bit as it enters the rectum, same with the bladder.

Honestly, teleporter tech is criminally underused in that universe.

can you teleport out co2 from the alveoli and replace with oxygen instead of needing a respirator? imagine 99% of surgeries could be done with teleport tech instead of needing to cut anything.

fuck, maybe that is how Hypospray works, and how it can inject drugs into the bloodstream without hurting the skin or the clothes they are wearing.

There is also the transporter buffer, they can put a lot of stuff in the buffer, why not use it for storage? Or maybe a brig?

One of the Abrahams movie casually made spaceships obsolete by having teleporters that can reach across the galaxy.

And those are ideas that I came up in a couple minutes of thinking.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I've just thought of another consequence: if the waste is always teleported out, then the muscles of the bladder and the rectum are gonna become dystrophic, while the anal sphincter forgets how to loosen. In addition, the urinary tract might dry out for want of any moisture from the bladder.

Now imagine that one day your trusty crap teleporter breaks down. You're stuck with piss and shit filling the bladder and the rectum, while both outlets are plugged from years of disuse and you don't know anymore how to push the stuff out.

I agree. You gotta look at it like when a live theater actor starts pulling red scarves outta their shirt when their character gets stabbed. Obviously it looks nothing like real blood but bruh. Pipe down and enjoy the play, OK? For a while I followed somebody on tumblr who did art of what each species might look like if star trek had way more sfx resources. They were also a massive scaly LOL a looot of the art was Garak/Bashir.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

although honestly, a play where someone gets stabbed in the first scene, and all the actors are horrified by the fact that instead of bleeding and dying, a red scarf comes out, they see he is still breathing but unresponsive. then they spend the rest of the play having an existential crisis slowly realizing that they are in a play and they will all cease to exist when it's over.

that would be an awesome play.

Connecting Seychelles to Romania and Hungary like that is magnificent

Like the periodic table we need to discover the hypothetical missing flags

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My apologies I believe you mean connecting Seychelles to Chad and Hungary

Don't do it! That way lies Maryland!

Bonus points to anyone who can name all those countries without doing research because you already have all the world's country flags memorized.

I sure can't.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Seychelles have the objectively most fun flag of all countries. Simple, recognisable, striking.

The mega flag is the 9 flag arrangement in the top left. The rest feels forced

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Agreed. But at least an honorable mention for the two with diagonal black lines.
