        Get your titanic billionaire dust speck with certificate of authenticity! Only $99.95!

        It’s what any proud capitalist would want, to have their remains monetized and sold off piece by piece and circulated like the currency they dedicated their life to hoarding, just like the Ferengi do from star trek!

            They were. There was a DS9 episode where quark was sure he was goong to die and was pre-selling his body to collectors.

            They were a critique of modern capitalists just as the Klingons were of the soviets. Unfortunately modern capitalism has become such a cartoon of insatiable greed, it’s become difficult to satirize.

              Ferengi capitalists never started major wars. They were better than. Pillars of the community. Earth capitalists were violent and British thugs…

            Eh they didn’t drink jt in a tincture. Its the cremains sold as a collectible.

            Which kinda makes sense. Given their culture.

              I’m relieved to hear that an evolved human future doesn’t include conspiracy theorists on the radio shilling life elongation and dick pills

                How do you know they don’t? ST universe was always pretty sterile. It would be like trying to define broader human culture from looking at Sunday school- of course no one is talking about any of that…

                  i’ve been to sunday school and bible camp. first of all, weird. that was weird. that was less weird than Unitarian Universalist church camp. the sterility of Star Trek was refreshing

                    Actually, now that I think about it…. Didn’t Mudd get sent to prison for selling beauty pills?
                    Edit:
                    And there was the movie with Picard where people were trying to relocate an entire race to harvest rejuvenation stuff

                    But my point being, it’s like insisting they didn’t poop in the 23 and 24th century because you never saw them poop. Or assuming that 21st century humans are all a bunch of religious nutters-and well behaved religious nutters- because of what happens in Sunday school. Yes. Sunday school…. Is weird….
