Replicate yourself a bunch of ice, a cooler, and a fresh stew, and...
The answer to replicator problems is always MORE REPLICATION!
Just replicate day old stew
Oh... you mean instant.
I guess post scarcity go BRRR, but if I was Chief Engineer and caught some flunky using my precious reactor output to replicate ice there’d be a pointed discussion on thermodynamics
What about a stew pot sized heatpump cooker/cooler?
Maybe if we tuned the transporter’s annular confinement beam to match the warp core’s frequency we could slow down the particles in the stew, cooling it appropriately!
A week in the transporter buffer should be roughly equivalent to overnight in the fridge
ahh, I miss Scottie's transpobuffer hooch
Use the transporter to make smoothies you say? Surely nothing could make anything more finely mixed than a transporter
This has me wondering about the semantics of potentially replicating a bunch of high capacity batteries.
this is why every replicator has a bucket of sand stored underneath
Replicator, replicate me a flunky to sit through the Chief's lecture again I want piña coladas
That's a good point. Could we set a phaser to "cold?"
I always knew it could make hot food, but can a replicator create ice?
It's easy to put energy into a system, but removing it usually takes time.
Why would it remove energy? It doesn't create liquid water and then freezes it. It creates matter with a certain energy level. Creating ice would probably just cost a minuscule bit less energy than the same amount of liquid water
For some reason I always assume the matter is created at ambient temperatures, but then it could just use the outside space for freezing ambient temps.
