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.

    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.
