NSFW, I guess? Only if you get it, really.

    I like that it’s past tense. Like, urination was the process by which urine was eliminated from the body through the urethra, but no longer is, probably because of something Michael Burnham did

      They do have transporters. And they’ve shown countless times on the show that they can target specific materials during transport.

      All they’d need to do is transport all urine directly out of the bladder of everyone on the ship once every half hour or so. What else would O’Brian be doing all day in that room?

      It must suck to go on away missions and suddenly have to piss and shit the natural way. There’s probably starfleet officers stranded on some moon going “damn I hate using my butthole, its been years since I needed to use it”.

        This is the sort of shit the wiki needs. Deep in-universe observations not a definition of urinating. I know what urinating is, I’ve been urinating since I was 5 minutes old

          Thank you, I appreciate it.

          But we can go further with this lore exploration. You know how Dr. Pulaski hated/deeply distrusted the transporter? The same thing will likely happen with a few people here and there. There would be people who insist on using the bathroom the 21st century way, because they do not trust the transporter to remove the entirety of the bowels/bladder.

          “Give me a toilet and let me use my butthole in peace!”
