Best utter "Computer, end program." from time to time, just to be sure.

If you were an NPC, even if you did have the permissions, would you actually notice? You'd be ending at the same time as the program, and if and when the program started back up, you would have no reason to think that your command worked.

Unless something is broken, the holodeck interpreters have tons of safety mechanisms and intent interpreters. It's not a monkey's paw.

safety mechanisms

The sheer amount of "oh no the holodeck is broken" episodes suggests they are worthless.

We couldn't be so lucky. Unless someone is running a simulation to see how the Eugenics Wars, Bell Riots, WW3 and Atomic Horror came to be

If it's me, I'm robbing the sperms bank

Everyone always goes for the money vault. I like to do things different.

I'm finding everyone I know who I don't like and taking their donation and putting it back in their fridge at home with a note that says "haha! Stole your sperms!" with hearts in the exclamation dots.

I love that

But I'd leave it on the bench, in the sun, so the sperm dies and I'd also crack the lid open so it's stinky

Oh, if I don't like someone, I'm definitely going to try to keep them from polluting the gene pool

see i don't really care about that, i'm not having kids so i don't really care about the gene pool. (also a lot of folk i know are great people to spite their shit parents. well also just for fun but also spite.)

I would immediately say “Computer, arch.” just to check.

Just remember that any computer system operates by the GIGO principle:

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

(it's a trashcan, right?)

There is a pipe and a fence behind it, I would guess it is some sort of control box, maybe for a fountain or a splash pad or something.

Of course. If you've ever been able to injure yourself, that just means you're one of the holograms.

And a bunch of misanthropes around here upvoted our doom.

Doctor, he just keeps shouting "Arch! Computer, arch! Computer, end program!"

13

What's the bad news??

That I'm part of the hologram about to get turned off?
That's just good news on top of good news!

yeah, i would just be glad that humanity survived as long to develop that kind of technology
