/r/sonicshowerthoughts
This sub has gone dark in support of the protest. It's usually thoughts you might have taking a much needed sonic shower aboard a USS Federation ship.
A subreddit for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head when in the sonic shower, which will be invented around 2270.
Showerthought is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like sonic showering, piloting a shuttlecraft, or daydreaming in the holodeck.
Rules:
Non-sonicshowerthoughts will (generally) be removed.
Please be respectful of others submissions, if you disagree - explain why in the comments. Rudeness is unacceptable.
Posts about a certain hedgehog will be removed by the sonic shower. You may be interested in this, this, or this.
No Spoilers
No Trolling
No misinformation (I can't believe I just had to write that)
This is a small sub, and we don't have time for lots of moderation. Rule breakers may be banned at the first offense (or may get a single warning).

I'm watching the Expanse. Instead of seeing a C in the MCRN logo like I should, the logo reminds me of a certain extremely talkative character.

Ventriloquism is probably close to a lost art by TNG times and woefully underappreciated due to communicators and holodecks.

"0.68 seconds (...) For an android, that is nearly an eternity." Compared to almost a decade of friendship with his crewmates, the Borg Queen never stood a chance.
If Data isn't sick of your face after 9 years of thinking at android speed, he must really love you.

Would very irritating to get spam mail in the post thanks to transporter technology
One could be at home and get all sorts of newsletters, ads and random mail just suddenly materialising in random places in your flat and at any time of the day.

I'm rather surprised the Ferengi didn't make holographic doctors a lot sooner.

No arguments about payment.

If a Bolian had jaundice would they look like an Orion?
Sorry if this is species-ist. Would a Bolian with jaundice look like an Orion? I guess we don't know whether Bolian bilirubin would cause yellowing of the skin like it does in humans. I'm not a doctor so I really don't know, I just remember turning alarmingly yellow when I had mono in college many years ago.

Has someone created a real version of the game Dabo? Seems like a fun idea
This has probably been done and I haven't googled so forgive me if this is dumb... But has the show ever defined exactly how Dabo works? Someone should. I have a few ideas of how you could create a game with multiple spins in a round leading to a great amount of possible outcomes. Good for betting.
There also has to be a role for the "Dabo girl" more than just spinning the wheel.

Harry Kim should have been Naomi's godfather
He risked his life to stop off at sickbay so he could bring her with him to the other timeline where they had both died. He's the only reason she's alive, and they make Neelix the godfather? Harry was robbed!

Elephants in star fleet
Does anyone else think that elephants would be eligible for starfleet? They are arguably the most intelligent non human creature on the planet, being winessed mourning their dead and tracking hundreds of miles to get help from humans who they've never met, because another elephant has told them about it. If starfleet has cetacean ops then why not elephant ops

Starfleet called their anti-Borg ship the "Defiant" because the "Resistor" sounds too much like a circuit board.

The DS9 crew's uniforms getting smarter reflects their greater trust in Garak, a tailor.
Just had this thought strike me when watching early season DS9: their uniforms largely don't fit, are creased, you can see they're supposed to be circular around the collar area but the material sticks out vertically instead and ruins the look
Then in later seasons, the Uniforms are tailored better, aren't as creased and look smoother around the collar/undershirt area.
Why would this change? Maybe a certain tailor was not trusted to be patronised by anyone from Starfleet in the early years of their presence on the station, but after a couple of missions where he'd proved their worth to them, they were ok with being seen hanging around Garak and his tailor shop and the tailoring of their uniforms improved as a result, as clearly the "fresh out of the replicator" look wasn't working for them
Either that or they finally realised they were sticking around and unpacked their Irons anyway.

Voyager red alert
With the amount if times we see Voyager go to red alert unexpectedly you would think we would see at least some of the bridge crew show up in civilian attire.

Chekhov, the first officer of the Reliant, fired the shots that sealed his ships fate.
Also, the Enterprise supposedly rescued the Reliant crew between movies. But Chekhov, their XO, doesn’t seem too worried about them. Nope he’s up on the bridge with his old buddies working the Nav or Science station.

Since there are so many species in Trek that are just large talking human animals, does that mean there are there other planets were the people keep little dumb humans as pets?

Given the precedent of Vulcans from Vulcan, Andorians from Andoria, etc, there are probably those who think humans are from a planet called "Huma."

There is probably a transporter protocol for dealing with kidney stones and similar internal issues.
I passed a 1 mm kidney stone 2 weeks ago. A quick look at me with a medical tricorder and trip through the transporter would have saved me 3 days of agony.

DS9 would've gotten more traction out of Q if they'd had him focus on Odo and Quark than Sisko.

For every USS Voyager that manages to come home after being flung somewhere distant by aliens or anomalies there's probably another dozen that got destroyed and never made it.
