Would a vegetarian eat steak created by a replicator? If the reason they don't eat meat is because it would kill an animal.

I think the practical ones would not eat steak since they are vegetarians for health reasons or simply don't like meat. The ones that are vegetarians on principal might go for it though. Of course, there are always the nut-jobs that will find some way to be offended by this and think of ways to protest it, throw their tantrums for any whatever reason.

[@sirellyn]

@@wanderingwriter3958 Humans have already had numerous breakthroughs where things seemed "unlimited". They never were. We had "unlimited" energy with the first energy grids. What did people do? Find ways of using it all up. The passenger pigeon and bison were called "unlimited" in their time. As were fish in the sea. Wealth isn't created by a "limitless" resource. Are you ultra rich because you have "unlimited" air? Wealth is created when someone innovates a solution that allows for greater access/availability to something which before was scarce and in demand. 1. The assumption of the elimination of scarcity tends to make people over use/waste that resource until the limits are seen. 2. Wealth is created by doing the reverse. Making something more scarce, into something more plentiful. In other words, if you cut off ways of innovating for wealth, no matter how plentiful things are, you are destined for destitution.

[@toddkes5890]

To me Enterprise should have been a bit more 'brutalistic' in nature. Make a giant wall between the crewed areas and the main antimatter reactor, that you can only go into while wearing heavier protection gear. Ten-Forward would look like the interior of a passenger submarine rather than a lounge. Airlocks would lead into a decontamination room directly, and there would be cleaning going on during stories (good plot point about one spot being missed and causing an infection). The main body would be a cylinder with a heavy navigation deflector at the front with the bridge poking just over the top. The warp nacelles would each be almost as big as the main hull. Almost like a Star Wars Y-Wing in shape. As the series goes on you would have refits going on so the ship slowly becomes more like TOS Enterprise, in both arrangement and capability. As to plots, they had so much potential. All the races that are friends in TOS, are new races in Enterprise. All the plots in TOS you can write predecessor ideas that would lead to the stories in TOS. For different races Archer would have to do diplomacy between them, calm down wars, set up trade agreements, etc. For example Enterprise might meet two planets that are fighting each other. Archer gets the two planets to set up a communications relay to try and talk to each other. Instead the governments of Eminiar and Vendikar use the channel to simulate war on each other instead (the root causes of the war were never solved).

[@senseweaver01]

@@jeffreymeehan3116 I didn't say they wouldn't be similar, I said they wouldn't LOOK similar. Forward facing eyes may be the only similarity. They don't actually need to be warm, they might not be omnivorous either, you've just assumed that for no reason - there are humans who aren't omnivorous. They might not even be bipedal. They could be aquatic, or subterranean. They just reached that point of technology because they persevered and evolved.

[@jeffreymeehan3116]

@@senseweaver01 We needed animal protein to grow our big brains. We needed fire to keep us warm and to make tools. So would any other species. Reptiles had a much earlier start and they didn't evolve anywhere near the same patterns as us. Bipedal is unlikely but I said upright. Something like a scorpion or centaur isn't impossible. That's why I said Edosians. Subterranean people wouldn't need heat or light so they wouldn't use fire. Eyes are liabilities to moles after all. Aquatics that travel interstellar would need access to metals meaning fire and using tools so no flippers. If you can't create or use a knife, you can't create warp drive or a spaceship to house it in.

[@wizardsuth]

Since the replicator does not produce living things, all of the food it makes would be sterile. The cheese would not have any bacterial culture in it, and lettuce would no longer be alive. If left uneaten, food might spoil is a very odd way. You might also have problems if your intestinal flora were wiped out, for example by an antibiotic, since the replicator would not make any bacteria to replace them.

[@DomWeasel]

That is something I've never seen anyone bring up before.

[@falconwind00]

That's a very good point. Though, in theory, it's a problem that would exist even today. On a Mars mission, for example, the food would need to be preserved for long-term use, which means sterilization by pasteurization or irradiation. I suppose on long voyages, the crew might need probiotic supplements, either supplied, or made on board. I can totally imagine Neelix brewing beer, baking sourdough, and aging cheese in a cargo bay.

A molecular replicator might have *protocols preventing* the creation of living things but it should be *able* to create them. The transporter does it.

What's great about this is it shows the older Captain is still wary of this technology, yet the younger crew members are happy to indulge. That's pretty much how all leaps in technology tend to be. Yes, I get it that T'pol is in her 60's, but as a Vulcan, she's more readily willing to embrace new technology. Vulcans live over 200 years. She's still young.

It's ironic in the 24th Century people were sick of replicators. Sisko cooked everything from scratch and many of the 24th century crews wanted the real deal like what Archer got everyday from his Chef. Even regular coffee tasted off besides Klingon Coffee It's amazing how Starfleet went to Trips wonder to Sisko's disdain for replicator food.

[@nick0875]

It could be that since many Federation citizens in the 24th century have eaten replicator foods since birth it has all become bland to them. Commander Riker points out in a TNG episode when he is making an omelet by hand that while a replicator would be more efficient at the task, it wouldn't have any flare or creativity that comes with normal cooking. One could imagine that the logistics department of Starfleet would not see a good reason for supplying ships with a large stockpile of normal foodstuffs when they have replicators on board and enough spare parts to fix them when they break.

[@KariIzumi1]

I think the thing with replicated food is that its all the same.

While a dish might be good at first, it would get old fast.

You know, a good way for replicators for foods to work would be if they ever made them, use kind of memory sticks you can buy for individual recipes and styles of it being cooked so, say you want catfish with a different side order or style of how its cooked or with a sauce or not, or maybe if possible custom made memory sticks or a way to record how you've made it by yourself to then be recreated by the memory stick.

[@ConnorLonergan]

or you could just add all the recipes combinations into the database and just tell the replicator what you want

[@Levi_Skardsen]

With the way replicators work, you could just dictate the ingredients and cooking methods and it would come out exactly as intended.

[@robertalexander5892]

But this doesn't take into account the cooking aspect of it. Temperature, techniques, and time can subtlety or even drastically change flaver and/or texture of the food.

[@FortoFight]

You could just store that information inside the computer, inside your own directories if necessary. Using a USB stick for individual recipes is insanely inefficient. Imagine using external storage for every digital photo you own.

[@caityreads8070]

Current automated kitchen designs use a very similar principle. A chef attaches electrical monitors to their arms which serve as a guide for robot arms to prepare a meal- these arms are suspended from rails on the ceiling, allowing them to move (mostly) freely around the kitchen to grab ingredients and utensils. The chef has to make a different guide for every meal, and you buy these through an app that your smart kitchen is connected to, without the need for a physical memory stick as your comment suggests. In Trek, of course, they've mastered the audio interface and computers are quick learners enough that none of that is necessary. They also don't really buy common things like knowledge of how to pan fry a catfish.

I'm with Archer on this one. Yes it's an amazing technology, but most cultural customs, most people would make the effort to ask before literally downloading their entire ships database. Bear in mind, the station didn't just potentially download the genome for catfish and cornbread, it may have also downloaded psychological profiles, weapons or warhead information, secret files in the ships database that are for a captain or admirals eyes only. Detailed data on other species, shop deployments and weaknesses. Would you want do hop into a hospital with a broken leg, where the entire staff knew you had mental health problems, knew you'd carelessly caught and STI in your teens or worse, were badly abused as a child. That information isn't pertinent to fixing a broken leg and by moral standards, that kind of information should not be accessed or required by a dr in order to mend a broken bone. It's just polite to ask, or at least ask what information or database the station was.allowed to access, and which database were off limits. It doesnt need to know everything to fix the ship, so why did it download it? Hence why Archer isn't happy.

I think NASA did one for their astronaut food. They took a piece of fish tissue and grew it into a sizeable portion using nutrient-rich waters in a vat.

[@rkmugen]

What we need is a way to manipulate genetic material into anything we want quickly, but also to have the ability to design the genetic code to revert back to the original genetic sequence after a certain time. Where am I going with this? Take a small sample of ribeye tissue from a cow... rewrite the genes to mimic the rapid growth properties of cancer cells... but then include specific genetic/RNA instructions to revert back to normal healthy tissue after a certain amount of time, or if there is no external stimuli that enables the cancerous properties. I believe Cancer cells are a promising tool for tissue regeneration and replication tool for the future... just as viruses are only being realized today as a tool/carrier for specific genetic instructions. There was an article written not more than 4 years ago that spoke about the AIDS virus being used as a possible tool to deliver custom genetic instructions to stop cancer cells. The same technique could be a way to quickly grow organic animal tissue (meant for cooking). Yes.... I thought about what I'm suggesting. Does anybody want to eat cancer? No. But you won't eating cancer cells if they are able to be fully turned back into healthy (albeit dead) tissue...... and then fully/properly cooked...... with heat.
