I like that even better.
Poll Should Lower Decks acknowledge modern Trek?

What do you mean “IF Enterprise is allowed into the cano?. Let me fix it for you, “Enterprise is in the canon…”
It would be hard for Lower Decks to reference Discovey because the first two seasons have been classified and the third season onwards takes place 800 years after Lower Decks.
It would also be hard for Lower Decks to reference Picard since PIC doesn't happen for another 18 years and -- being part of the back end of the Fleet -- the Cerritos wouldn't be on the front lines helping the Romulans try to evacuate. I don't think that's what the ship would be doing.

I thought up a bit of a neat one that would tie-in really closely with a season 3 Disco episode. The episode where Linus the Saurian was having trouble figuring out his new personal transporter and kept popping up at random spots on the ship at inappropriate moments, Lower Decks could tie into that by just having Linus randomly pop up on the Cerritos, look around, and ask "where am I even at this time?" before tapping his badge and beaming away.
^ Would take some handwaving to explain why Linus' tricom badge was transporting him through time...
Sigh. It's just a joke. Meant only to illicit laughter, not be analyzed and nitpicked.
Quantum.
Kinda makes you realise how hard it is for the Lower Decks writers, they have to make sure people don't carve their gags up with nitpicks

Lower Decks has skewered Picard's/Michael Chabon's wish-granting tech (the Cerritos crew had to deal with a sentient wish-granting anomaly).

I'd watch for appearances of the Red Angel suit. They'd sneak it in somehow.
LD has gotten in some digs at Disco (starting with THE shirt):
Mike McMahan has said it's tough to skewer something like Disco because the show is so new (it's so new the episodes haven't been seen 50 million times yet like the rest of the franchise).
FWIW, the RITOS shirt is now available at startrek.com (Thank you, Mike McMahan
).

The training shirts are the best thing to happen to Trek.
yeah references are fine.
Can't wait for the "Spock's weird sideburn phase" gags to come after SNW debuts!
Why shouldn't they? They kinda did with the Titan adventures. The only reason not to is that the characters probably wouldn't know most of it, cause the only two seasons that happened in their past most of it was classified UNDER PENALTY OF TORTURE.
