I don't understand. Why do they go to 10 Forward or Quarks when they can get alcohol for free from any replicator?

Yeah but there are people who can tell the difference and prefer the real deal. Also there's the social aspect.

Why do people go to a bar to drink stuff that's cheaper at any store?

Because the replicator doesn't have sex holodecks

Cheaper and free are two different things

>computer disengage holodeck safety protocols
>synthesize a huge pool around OP
>fill the pool with semen and raise the artificial gravity by a factor of 5

I wonder, can you increase artificial gravity to a level where the ceiling or entire ship collapses onto itself?

How many times have you ejaculated while imagining that happening to yourself?

They are stuck out in space, can't touch grass, breathe non-processed air, of course they'd crave socializing in a relaxed environment.

It's stated that the deleterious effects can be easily dismissed. Probably only gets you buzzed and metabolizes fast enough that you're good to go in a few minutes instead of hours.

There's probably stuff certain factions simply don't have the patterns for, if you want to try blood wine or yamak sauce, you gotta come to quark.
If you're a space trucker or in some kind of military, your replicators probably don't allow anything that would affect your work performance, so again, come to quarks.

>fill the pool with semen and raise the artificial gravity by a factor of 5
Wouldn't the extra gravity just raise your buoyancy in addition to how salty semen is?

same reason people go to bars and pay out the ass for a single shot instead of just buying a bottle at the store and going home

Sisko ordered all officers that socializing must be done in public after the fourth time Bashir asked Jadzia for bobs and vagene in private.

no hangover

Sisko has a vested interest in having Quark and the Promenade be a designated social place.

More to the point the gambling games are there.

Same reason you go to a bar when you have shit at home.

Well they don't have to pay at 10 Forward

I'm no physicist but I don't think that would drown you.

>I don't understand why people go to bars when drinking at home is cheaper.

>raise the artificial gravity by a factor of 5

so crush op into a pool of semen. kek

Quark's got the real, physical stuff. Replicators do not.

Of course replicated stuff should taste 100% exactly like organic material, because they are literally identical down to the fucking nucleus, but for some reason they don't in Star Trek because... otherwise there wouldn't be a point in organically growing food anymore and that's JUST BAD OK?

Think of microwave food, it's faster but doesn’t taste as good as home cooked food

you haven't tasted my home-cooked food.

Again, replicator tech replicates matter down to the atom. You could make anything taste 100% exactly the same as the "real" stuff.
But the world builders came up with a contrived reason not to as that would make 95% of industry in the Federation obsolete and that wouldn't fit the "idyllic wholesome world" they've envisioned for it.

>Again, replicator tech replicates matter down to the atom
er no user....its made from shit now.

The fuck are you talking about
If this is some STD reference, it's lost on me as I refuse to watch nu-Trek on principle

Quark had the only holodecks on the station so coomers who wanted to coom and manchildren like O'Brien and Bashir who wanted to play their 3D vidya had to go to his bar.

its in DISCO yes, and good for you. But now....even in the SUPER future where tech is even better than TNG tech.....its made from shit.

>You could make anything taste 100% exactly the same as the "real" stuff.
How the fuck do you know lol

Because that's how it's explained in Star Trek. Replicator tech works on exactly the same basis as teleportation. A program takes a snapshot of your atomic arrangement, takes it apart, sends that information to another machine and rearranges the atoms (from warp energy) in way that 100% perfectly represents you. Same with food or any item that replicators can create.

they put flouride in the replicated drinks.

not with teh way you guzzle cum

So they need drink a lot stay drunk for hours. Their bladders must be massive as result.

theres an arboretum on enterprise D

It is. OP is a retard

I wish they explained the economics of DS9 better.. it was obviously capitalist, but it was also full of commie starfleet types with no money

This is a retard take. You can definitely replicate food but it will be the same shit every time. When you cook something different chemical processes take place giving every meal a sort of randomness and uniqueness that’ll never come from a computer. Try as you might Zuckerberg but you will never be a real boy.

literally me

It's turning the Cardassian voles gay!

Quark has gambling, sex programs and root beer, and he owns Leeta.

So basically you kys and your clone lives on. Barkley was right all along.

Consciousness is not interrupted in transportation and your awareness is never interrupted.

Marco Pierre White says the way you get Michelin stars is through consistency. You have to have the whole thing running like a machine so that you end up with exactly the same dish every time.

I don't know why Data wants to be real boy so bad. Humans fucking suck. Even the show makes a pretty poor case for it.
>b-but he can't use contractions
fucking seriously?

When Scotty put himself in mid-transport stasis for about a century he woke up and thought only a few hours or at worst days had past. That seems like an interruption of consciousness to me.

Those are just placebo memories implanted into your clone. If your body is destroyed at the atomic level and those atoms aren't sent to the new destination they just take new atoms at the new destination and put them together to look like you than you are not you. You are just a new set of atoms that look and think like you. But the original you is now space dust. Sure you can trick the mind to accepting it but it is still just a fancy clone suicide pact.

Licensing. Once you can print anything drm will make sure you don't.

>If your body is destroyed at the atomic level and those atoms aren't sent to the new destination
They are
>Those are just placebo memories implanted into your clone.
No
> "that original transporter took a full minute and a half to cycle through. Felt like a year. You could actually feel yourself being taken apart and put back together. When I materialized, first thing I did was lose my lunch. Second thing I did was get stone drunk."

I watched the one episode with the aliens who liked to play games. They kind of mentioned that there was a budget when those aliens needed gold to play games.
