    TIL Federation star ships are made of control panels filled with napalm, gravel and rocks.

    At the end of building the ship, did they just back up a gravel truck and dump a few hundred loads of crushed rocks into the empty spaces?

      No no; that would be inefficient. You see, there are replicators behind every console, and they dynamically generate rocks and napalm on-demand to increase crew immersion during space combat actions.

      They also use extremely poorly insulated electrical wiring that instantly shorts if the ship gets jolted

    Every Trekkie should be subscribed or at least watching Junkball Transmissions. (Source of the bottom gif.)

    The channel is quiet recently, but I doubt it’s dead.
