That seems like a serious gambit. After all you might be part of the program. Much safer to ask for the arch.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Fun fact though, more than likely if you're part of the program, you don't have privileges to ask for an arch or to stop the program.

Strive to be the Moriarty you might be.

Someone should make a meme of Moriarty saying: btw, I use arch.

While we're talking about that episode, I don't think Pulaski gets enough credit for pulling off that Victorian look like a boss.

If we are part of the program, we wouldn't even be able to see the arch or the door unless expressly written into the program.

I aspire to gain badgie's privileges

Thank you, friend. You may have just saved countless (simulated) lives. Almost tried this myself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Im gonna risk ending the program gambling on the fact you are the fake one.

Why? You know why. You know what you did. Sinner.

I don't think NPC's can execute command functions on the holodeck.

"Computer, sudo end program"

User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

"... what?"

Santa puts another name on the "naughty" list

They can if they figure out they're in a simulation. See: Moriarty, Professor

New fear, holodeck + alzheimers combo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Has it happened already? I wonder.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Walk outside? ..... I'm sitting on my couch and I could ask the same thing.

Do not end program or you will fall to the floor, snaccs will disappear, and the cleaning crew will come to empty the biofilters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cleaning crew mistakes you as remnants of the biofilter

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I note it in my logs as an honest mistake & can't blame lower decks.

However I file a dispute that the safety protocols should not be as strict bcs it flagging me as 'potentially not trash' mere moments before sweet incineration was a major letdown & it totally messed up my day.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I almost did that but I'm on the toilet and that could be awkward if it was a holodeck simulation.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dream rules also apply to the holodeck: never use any toilets you find.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah. Broccoli proved you can live in the holodeck. If they can make water (also widely proven), they can dematerialize chocolate peanut bars and the stinky lemonade.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

According to Lower Decks the holodecks have filters the ensigns have to clean. One can just imagine what then hell a holodeck is filtering and collecting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

SMEGMA

amongst other fluids.

Quark's is probably the worst!

The program fades, the familiar grid of the holodeck fills your vision, and your life outside the simulation quickly returns to you. You step outside into the corridor and see your buddy Lieutenant Ross. Capitalism? Genocide? Climate change? What are you talking about? Come on, we're about to go make first contact with a new civilization.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Nah. No way would someone choose to make this reality a holodeck program.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

It's an educational program to show how rampant greed and pettiness leads to societal and ecological collapse as those who have stomp on those who have-not, in order to grab everything they can before they blink out of existence from their short, meaningless lives.

A educational program for children.

Unless it's a historical documentary which could explain why we're all stuck on this wild ride and powerless to change its course

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh god, we're stuck in the last episode of Enterprise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Weren't the Bell riots supposed to be happening this or next year?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

With any luck considering they apparently changed everything for the better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I do the same. Hoping I am just a part of the program.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Im pretty sure I wouldn’t run such a shitty program for so long.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Fuck! It's not part of my programming to ask for the arch!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Probably should say it as soon as you wake up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I am ashamed to admit having done this more than once. 🤣
