/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).

Why did Enterprise only focus on the seven million humans who died in the Xindi attack and not all loss of life including wildlife, flora, habitat, etc. Especially ironic considering the Xindi were a mixed species.
I assume Changelings have no odor because they don't produce pheromones, nor do they have bacteria living on them.
This could easily be bypassed by replicating body odor compounds and spraying them on itself as needed after regenerating. The average Klingon encountering the impersonator wouldn't notice the difference, but his wife certainly would.
Okay so hear me out. We already have the technology to simulate primary human senses like sight and sound, and we haven’t even left earth orbit yet.
So it’s entirely possible that the federation, with its multiple telepathic species and hundreds of years of technological advancement, can equip their doors with sensors that can tell when people want to walk through, the way we equip doors with sensors that can see a person approaching.
I just had once again a sad moment because I'll never be able to taste real raktajino. All the recipes of course use earth coffee because we don't have anything else. But if we had replicators we could just program them to replicate it. And all the other alien foods as well. I want to try real Plomeek soup as well. And the possibilities are endless. I am wondering why we never see any food that doesn't exist naturally. I'd think with these possibilities some people would start developing them and we could taste flavors no one ever has before
I really just want that Raktajino, though
My daughter is in the middle of having a meltdown and it just occurred to me that toddlers on Vulcan must be one of the biggest terrors in the universe. If Vulcans are super emotional and can only control their emotions with meditation and self control, then everything before they learn how to do that must be full of legendary tantrums. This also explains why Vulcan school children are always the worst.

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.
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.

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!
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
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.

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.
Raktajino, the true warrior's drink
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.
