The first image is an actual screen shot that I took from the episode “Brothers.” You can see the schematic that Picard is gazing at, and there is definitely an airplane in there, as well as a car!

The second picture is borrowed from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and I cannot verify its authenticity. But you can see more details, and the blogger has even labeled the car “Porsche.” I can see that, but I see it as more of a generic car shape.

Proof positive that everyone has far too much time on their hands. From the people who made the show to the people who have analyzed it frame-by-frame.

set and prop designers love to hide these kinds of easter eggs in their work.

I for one am all for it.

Here is something that will mess you up a little...The enterprise doesn’t have bathrooms.  well it has one according to Johnathan franks, but here is another thing...they don’t waste dump.  All matter stays on the ship, meaning yesterdays turds are todays earl grey tea.

You are not wrong. As evidenced with entire videos made about "Easter eggs" found in brief movie trailers.

M emory-alpha disagrees:

In 2364 , a series of malfunctions aboard the USS Enterprise-D – which were caused by a microbrain from Velara III – included locking two crewmembers in the head programmers ’ rest room. ( TNG : “ Home Soil ”)

The main bridge of the USS Enterprise-D featured a bathroom just off the doors leading to the observation lounge . In the authorized re-creation of the main bridge in Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, the inscription on the doors read “HEAD”. The head was visible in a few episodes, but while the doorway was initially labeled “CONFERENCE” in “ Gambit, Part II ”, it was relabelled “HEAD” by “ Emergence ”. In addition, in episodes throughout the seventh season , multiple crew members can be seen simultaneously entering the bridge via the head. It is unclear how many toilets are available for use in the head on the main bridge.

Later on other trek’s, there were more references:

Holding cells aboard Deep Space 9 featured a restroom. ( DS9 : “ Vortex ”)

In 2375 , the USS Voyager faced a situation where it was functioning on a mere four lavatories. ( VOY : “ Bride of Chaotica! ”)

T hey disagree with Johnathan Franks, from a tgn documentary and we all know that scifi actors are way more detail oriented about their universe than the fans...

So do they bother to wash clothes, or just toss them into the matter collector and replicate new ones in the morning? And what about tools? Do they have a chest of tools, or just replicate new ones for each job?

Well we know they replicate tools.  As for clothes...I sure wouldn’t bother with washing.

I always assumed that they just beamed the dirt out of the clothes.

Transporter and replicator technology is the ultimate recycling.. and sorts matter at the molecular or atomic level, and theoretically can even store it in an energy buffer, rather than as matter with mass in the ship.

Another of Gene Roddenberry’s techno-utopian ideas, along with matter-antimatter quantum energy sources beyond Nuclear power, and a non-economic meritocracy, and escalation above wealth, despite human nature still being what it is.

And somehow a ship the size of a small city is always perfectly clean before and slightly after damage and destruction, while the entire crew presumably has duty stations other than being janitors all the time, but no appearance of automated cleaning.

And BTW... there are various episodes that slightly refer to restroom facilities, retractable sinks, and mirrors, and other bathroom facilities such as sonic showers in crew quarters. Mr. Scott’s Guide to the Enterprise for Enteriprise 1701 and 1701A do show restrooms on the floorplans. They just don’t focus on them on-camera. ; -) Presumably that trend continued.
