Surely you've considered the possibility that human waste is transported directly out of the body?Mayabird wrote: That little thing about Wesley's head being stuck in a toilet made me think of something: have we even seen any toilets in Star Trek, or the equivalent? There have been bathtubs and showers and the like (the images from which are burned into everyone's memories because there's no such thing as brain bleach) so we've seen the bathrooms, but I don't remember seeing a single toilet in any shape, form, or fashion ever in any of the series.
Aaand it get's turned into boots - and by the time of Voyager, into guns - hence the non-existant lethality.FSTargetDrone wrote:Surely you've considered the possibility that human waste is transported directly out of the body?Mayabird wrote: That little thing about Wesley's head being stuck in a toilet made me think of something: have we even seen any toilets in Star Trek, or the equivalent?

Isn't that a rest room off of the captain's ready room?
You know, I look at that particular forehead-of-the-week-alien and I'm thinking to myself, "No, that's not at all attractive. In fact, it's a little disturbing and she looks like someone with a hideous tumor on her head." I realize she is of the same species as the one in the ship at the end of the show (IS she the same individual?) and I suppose the alien designers were going for a sort of scary-looking alien for the Big Reveal, but the initial appeal of a slim woman wearing a slinky outfit is smashed against the rocks when you see that hideous outgrowth on her skull.Darth Lucifer wrote:Holy crap, I forgot that the rubber foreskin of the week for this episode was a gigantic pair of ass cheeks slapped on that woman's head.
On the Tomorrow show back in 1976 or so, Tom Snyder once asked Jimmy Doohan about that. Doohan replied that that's what phaser training was for. "We aim to please, so please aim", he quipped.FSTargetDrone wrote:Surely you've considered the possibility that human waste is transported directly out of the body?Mayabird wrote: That little thing about Wesley's head being stuck in a toilet made me think of something: have we even seen any toilets in Star Trek, or the equivalent?

I'm relieved I wasn't the only one who thought the same thing!Ghost Rider wrote:LOL, wow. Two things though, of the evil villain chick...has a butt and a vagina on her head.

Here is the picture of the brig toilet as seen in STV:The toilet, also referred to by the Ferengi as a waste extraction fixture, is a device used for the disposal of bodily wastes. The waste extraction system was the system used to manage and process that and all other related wastes.
During the first mission of the starship Enterprise NX-01, Captain Jonathan Archer declared that the Vulcan High Command didn't think Humans could flush a toilet without a Vulcan to assist. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
In 2151, Worley Elementary School in Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland on Earth, sent questions, letters, and drawings to the Enterprise. One question asked was "When you flush the toilet, where does it go?" and one of the few that was answered personally – Captain Archer delegated it to chief engineer Trip Tucker. Commander Tucker was not pleased with the captain's selection of questions for him and protested, but ultimately relented and explained to Molly the ship's processes of recycling and biomatter resequencing. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")
The brig aboard Starfleet ships included facilities such as a sink and toilet, which were enclosed behind the wall until needed. A sign above the toilet read "do not use while in spacedock." (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
Waste extraction points on a Bajoran transport are located in individual quarters. After Ibudan was murdered in 2369, Dr. Julian Bashir located seofurane fragments near the waste extraction point in Ibudan's quarters on the transport. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
The Ferengi shuttle, Quark's Treasure was equipped with a waste extraction unit. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
It was said that the waste extraction fixtures at the Nagal Residence on Ferenginar were plated with latinum. Quark, believing that he was about to become the next Grand Nagus, said that the first thing he was going to rip out the plated fixtures and replace them with solid latinum fixtures. (DS9: "Body Parts", "The Dogs of War")
His upcoming wedding with Leeta and preparations for a Dominion attack on Deep Space 9 in late 2373 made Rom so nervous that he announced he had to go to waste extraction. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
According to the "Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints", the door in Jean-Luc Picard's ready room led to a bathroom. The blueprints also referred to the bathrooms as both "toilets" and "heads". The main bridge of the USS Enterprise-D featured a bathroom just off the doors leading to the observation lounge. According to Jonathan Frakes during the "Journey's End - The Saga of Star Trek: The Next Generation" special in 1994, the Enterprise-D had only one bathroom and he proceeded to point to it on the large cross-section of the Enterprise in the main engineering set.
As for how it works, as Bashir said in "Fascination", best not to dwell on it too much.

Yeah? Well at least you don't have to worry about shit like this in Star Trek Toilets... :FSTargetDrone wrote:And speaking of waste extraction, I just looked at Memory Alpha's entry on "Toilet":
