I've opened up a can of dirty worms.

Do we still use bog roll (toilet paper) or does the sonic shower come into play? I think future toilets probably incorporate a sonic shower component.
 
It will be like a bidet, only with sonics.

Here's a pic of a bidet panel I took. As you can see there are many options and you can actually clean at every possible angle and temperature your entire butt, and dry it, and you can do all this without toilet paper.

With sonics it might not be quite as stimulating but probably even more effective.

You could heat the toilet seat too, every time I went in there I would put it at as hot as possible (which was very weirdly hot) when I left. This was so I could annoy my relative I was staying in the room with who spent the whole time complaining that the toilet seat was unnervingly hot :lol:
 
Is B'Elanna's shower scene the only time we got to see the sonic shower in action? I think it is. It's basically just dirt and sweat evaporating from your skin.

I bet shagging in a sonic shower is more fun than a normal shower. The days of one of you getting the nice warm water while the other shakes in the cold are long gone.
 
It must be nice not having to have water pour down on you then getting out of the shower and freezing. And not having to spend time drying wet hair. That takes forever!

I want a sonic shower.
 
It doesn't convince me. I hope they feel remarkably fresh or I'd say "PASS. I want a bathtub."
 
Stick a comm-badge up my arse and beam the contents into space.

Well, the Doc did a fetal transport and B'Elanna did the now famous skeletal lock that undoubtedly was added to the Starfleet Transporter Manual, so why not be able to come up with a mini-transporter with this kind of functionality? Of course, there might PD implications, unwitting creation or mutation of space dwelling lifeforms or the like. :)

I think that the Japanese have the global lead in creating the most hygienic waste removal systems today (what language are those characters in the image). It just put me in mind of a recent post in the If You Could Reboot Voyager thread (I think) that suggested that an elderly Asian, perhaps Japanese, male crewmember be in the complement with specific responsibilities like teaching the children and tending after the Airponics bay. Perhaps if that culture's acumen in the above realm is retained throughout the centuries, he could deal with plumbing, repair, and enhancement of these systems as well. :)

Yes it is Korean. Bidets take longer though which is fine if you're one of those people who loooooove to spend time on/in the loo (the word has both meanings). Which I am not. Get in,get out!
 
Everything is so disgustingly clean in the future. I want more filth.

If you were getting amorous with a lady in the sonic shower, would all her delicious sticky juices be sonic-ed away? I bet they would.

Fuck this sterile crap, I'm joining the Maquis.
 
They said very early on in TNG that the ships were "self cleaning" but it was never explained better than that. Although Jake Sisko is a slob, and "maintenance" is willing to clean up after him... Cardassians haven't invented 'selfcleaning' technology or they saw a good reason not to use it?

I assume that any hypothetical selfcleaning technology would try to remove all of the Obsidian Order's listening devices, and then regular citizens woudn't feel safe anymore.

My memory of TNG isn't strong but what was the point of the barion (sp?) sweep that had Picard nancying through the ship stopping bad guys while avoiding getting killed by it? Was it a cleaning device?
 
Travelling in space creates a build-up of baryon radiation and you need to clean that shit up every five years. Voyager went seven years without a cleansing so maybe the crew are all doomed.

Neelix probably doesn't even know that his life expectancy has been significantly reduced.

Starships must get a lot of crap on the windows. Do they self clean?
