      Can get beamed up, shit and all, but rematerialized from the pattern buffer without shit.

      And then the extra matter from the unrestored shit will get repurposed by the replicators for tonight’s dinner.

      Maybe that’s how all toilets work in startrek, je beam the shit or piss out.

        Well in Star Trek they do talk about biofilters, so you might be on to something.

        Maybe it’s the one option you cross that nobody wants to talk about.

        In TNG I remember actually seeing a toilet only twice and Borg stole the other one.

      In the official TNG technical manual there’s a diagram of the enterprise that shows there’s a bathroom right around the corner from the door to the bridge. What’s unclear is if it’s only for number 1.
