The U.S.S. Toilet Flapper, laughingstock of Starfleet.

@maxleibman LOL

Talk about over designing and already functioning product to get a new revenue stream.

@r3t3ch No joke. It was part of a package with a fill valve, but the flapper in the toilet that needed the fill valve was also overly complicated in a different way, so I just left it alone for now.
@maxleibman gilded or cheap-o, they'll all die in the same amount of time. Too damn funny.

@r3t3ch @maxleibman

It's actually pretty good. I have switched to Fluidmaster even though I don't use the dubious features because they just work.

@maxleibman

The registration number “NCC-Min 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Max” was also ill conceived.

@davidhmccoy @maxleibman C’mon, only valid registrations are number 1 or number 2
@maxleibman Gives new meaning to "Captain's Log."
@maxleibman And let's not mention the Cling-Ons....
@maxleibman Definitely a Miranda class toilet flapper, there.
@maxleibman
What camera did you use? I admire how well it shows cosmic background radiation!
@blausand You’ll have to ask Mr. Data for the sensor algorithm he used.
@maxleibman What the hell is a "toilet flapper"? Asking for a (European) friend, of course... I have never seen something like that before...

Ahhh.... I see ...: "Toilet flappers live a pretty harsh life; they spend most of their time submerged under water, exposed to bacteria, chlorine, and corrosive minerals like calcium and magnesium."

@maxleibman It is command division, at least.
@maxleibman lower ducts! lower ducts! lower ducts!
@maxleibman a venerable and storied craft, vital to the functioning of star fleet!
@maxleibman hey @cenobyte can you math up an Alcubierre Metric that resembles a toilet flushing?
@maxleibman @gannet straight out of the Lower Decks opening credits.
@maxleibman I believe the ST spinoff series, The Upper Decker, was set on this vessel.
@maxleibman I now want this as an actual design. We can call it the USS Bazalgette, as a winking reference to Joseph Bazalgette
@maxleibman Captain! That’s not a photon torpedo!
@maxleibman
this is even funnier than all of those "jefferies tube" jokes at the academy. :)

@maxleibman

did someone already use "star shit enterprise"?

@noondlyt my great-grandmother use to mutter "Star drek" when I was trying to watch ds9 which was at the same time as her Mexican soap opera

@maxleibman

I haven't kept up with the latest Trek, I assume NCC has been replaced with MIN and the numbering's gotten a bit outta hand. MIN-123456789 seems like an odd ship designator.

@maxleibman …where one’s StarFleet’s career goes down the drain?
@maxleibman I imagine the ship is designed to explore black holes.
