Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

That one Short Trek with H John Benjamin went hard into the edible tribble:
Oh gross, real hair
They're pregnant... with flavor!
replicated sugar
Has the federation not made some kind of super sugar like synthehol? I can imagine Picard giving this speech to some starving/obese alien the federation is trying to help out
Long ago humans used to struggle with nutrition and caloric intake. Both too much and too little were dangerous. Now we have synthose, a sugar which expands only as much as your body needs it, while retaining a consistently sweet taste regardless of the caloric density

my brother in christ "artificial" sweetners already exist!

This would hit hard if I wasn't already beating the "Fast food is cigarettes of the current era and you are a stupid fat bastard that can't resist fat and carbs" over my head

Yes, but they are imperfect and perhaps unhealthy as well. I was trying to hit something more akin to synthehol's weird perfection, its alcohol that gets you inebriated but has no ill health effects and can be dismissed at will. Artificial sweeteners are fine, but lack the super science of Trek
But like how Scotty knew it wasn’t real because he was a frequent partaker of real alcohol, someone who consumes actual sugar would immediately realize it was artificial sweetener and complain.
Me: “Warm cinnamon rolls, extra frosting.”
replicator whirring
Me: spits “WHAT IN BLAZES IS THIS??”
I think there’s evidence to show that our taste receptors for sweetness are linked to insulin production. Thus no artificial sweeteners can be consumed without health consequences (insulin spikes, insulin resistance).
Replicated cereal? We all know the Federation well enough, to know the product behind used in the replication is human waste.
So I opened my box and there are 5 different marshmallows...🫤
Beam that shit down the toilet, Scotty.
That artificial shit goes right through your warp reactor.
Make you jettison your warp core.
Wow, FOUR shapes?
