To have nutless yaks, once must begin with nutted yaks.

You mean we can't just make nutless yaks with a replicator or something?

And what do replicators make all of that stuff from?  I always assumed waste material - both biological and non-bio. 

So that plate you just bought might be made of Lt. Warf's poo.

No buying on the enterprise, it’s a socialist society!!

Hello.  Just made my way over from the other place.

Voluntarily left the other place, after not too happy with observing some things.  I requested they delete me there, and they did.  I also have found my interest in firearms has matured (my opinion) as of the last few years I have acquired then traded/sold every firearm I had ever wanted.  My small collection is now very stable and I hope to learn more on things like reloading, and ammo, and better care of what I now know that I like and am suited for.  Went from 27 to now 9 and I love the 9 that I have.  Also it is fun to read others opinions on national and world things with those who usually agree our freedoms, especially the the 2A (and the others) must never be trampled on, ever!

As an amateur Star Trek nut, though I have only watched one(?) episode of Discovery, I had assumed they make replicator things from something that is VERY dense into something that is not as dense.  Note I had one class in Chemistry, and I am not proud of the grade or effort I put into learning that subject.

But then where does all the poo go?  It would be ecologically unsound to just throw it out the window.

I hear Klingon poo is very dense (though I cannot say for certain).  They eat a protein-rich diet so I imagine Lt. Worf contributes more than his share of raw material for the new china set you ordered.  Or the snacks for the party later.

It only makes sense if you can rearrange molecules into anything you want, that you should also be able to pull them apart.  Even food.  So that food they serve in 10-Forward was already eaten last week.

Say - you gonna finish that hamburger?

Well, that is some food for thought! (sorry it just came out) 

As I understand this it would not matter that if that piece of food I am eating today was partially at some molecular level something not palatable in its prior cohesive pattern. 

Though it some respects is that not how it works to some degree in today's non replicator way?

That last sentence is kinda true.  Except that the guy who pooped the matter out is probably sitting right next to you.  That's gotta be really weird.

In summary - we would be on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere, up to our ass in nutless yaks and eating each other's crap and drinking each other's pee.  

So anything strange on the ship?

Did anyone say, submarine service, so some degree?

Well - even above the water we are all drinking something's recycled pee.  And something's recycled poop, in some form.  It just goes through a longer process.

But it's a few more steps removed than on the Enterprise.  There you're eating Worf's recycled poop with a side of the old, broken warp core supports.
