One thing I really love about Strange New Worlds is that they finally realized that fans love the beautiful, comfortable looking ships of the earlier series. For a solid decade it was like all Star Trek ships felt like some "alternate timeline" from Next Generation in which the Federation is an endless war, and the ships are all dim and militaristic. A huge part of the show was about exploration. And doing it in styl…
This is the kind of niche old content the Internet was know for! Kudos.

This! This is what I want from the internet. Obsessively complete lists that seem unnecessary at a glance but will actually one day help you settle some weird argument or issue. I remember quite vividly a Geocities page that had wiring diagrams for a ton of Realistic brand CB radios my friend and I used to build an adapter for the DIN microphone.
Do you host any content like this?
I remember my suspension of disbelief being challenged in Star Trek TNG (my favorite) when they started using my Dansk cutlery and also my crystal highball glasses! What are the odds?
I was tickled when I saw two red-uniform officers carrying them around on TNG.

That's because I. the future people ... uh ... someone please finish this sentence for me.
Apparently, in the future people don't need or want to rest their arms. By itself, this is uncharacteristically dystopian for Star Trek because it suggests people will relax so much less that arm rests are unnecessary.

That and in the future we'll apparently forget everything we ever learned about electrical codes and the proper way to build things so they don't spark and catch fire at the slightest provocation.
Unlike the OSHA be damned Death Star.
Random statement but no arm rests on many of those. My arms awkwardly dangle
I was literally asking my wife last Thursday “Do people actually use arm rests? What are they for besides getting hooked on stuff?” I was talking desk chairs specifically. Apparently some people do! I have an exceptionally tall torso and normal arms though so it’s quite rare for my elbow to actually reach an arm rest.

Didn't know that. DS9 is the only series in the franchise I was never really able to get in to. I've only seen a handful of episodes.
You should force yourself through the first season or two. I promise the dominion war is worth it.
And yes, this is the same Dominion War that was referenced in the last season of the Picard series.
