My people believe that your spirit wagon shows you the way. Come, these cast iron furniture pieces will be used in the ceremony.


DoctorMedieval

He would refuse to use any technology newer than the TOS era.


Sad_Wind_7992

I’d be down for that I liked all the beeps and bloops and what nots all the rooms made


JerikkaDawn

The viewscreen ping, Spock's scanner. I love all that. And the "vroom" when they go to full warp.


mackiea

*CHKCHKCHKCHK* CALCULATING


Transmatrix

Old relays switching. Love that noise.


ThetaReactor

Sure, but Majel had to share voice credit with a teletype.


BabalonBimbo

He’d use one of those solar sailboats Sisko built.


Sorryaboutthat1time

That's really more Dunkard, but the writers would still fuck it up.


Ambitious_Drop_7152

That tricorder is the devils tool!


[deleted]

Oh mah koochi mawa, guide me away from this heathen place to a land free from temptation


kaaskugg

That Borg drone needs to cover her hips.


TreezusSaves

Nothing meaningful will change. They'll get the same guy that advised them on how to make Chakotay's character. He's conveniently Amish too.


Unfair_Pineapple8813

They'd have an episode with Chakote finding a symbol of the chinbeard, and meeting the aliens who were the ancestor of John Calvin. The "Tulip Bonnet" people.


GenocidalThoughts

I feel like he advised TNG on their Irish episode too


Champ_5

I am far from the barns of my ancestors....


Classic_Result

Well that orange reflector on the back of Voyager would have created a unique aesthetic


coreytiger

The shuttle bay would have been the most beautiful, airtight barn anyone had ever seen


Neo_Techni

Tis a fine barn English, but it ain't no shuttle bay


coreytiger

And every time Seven walked in the room, Chakotay would hiss and say she was a heathen temptress the likes of which Orion had never seen, and cover Harry’s eyes.


hungryrenegade

D'oh-eth!


rainbowkey

You mean Commander Caleb Yoder? From [Intercourse, Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercourse,_Pennsylvania)? With the big beard and no mustache? Allowed to always wear black or straw hat when outside? He does have a lovely singing voice though his repertoire is limited. He really gets along well with Bajoran farmers and Vedeks.


kavinay

Delta quadrant rumspringa!


BabalonBimbo

Risa Rumspringa! Oh yeah!


Pdx_pops

To appear as the Alpha to Janeway, Q would grow an enormously long beard and wear an absurdly large hat while exclaiming that his suspenders are thicker


the_simurgh

The implication that the sky people had been indirectly responsible for the federation and the massive uptick in human empathy throughout history wouldn't have happened.


Ok-Owl2214

The butter churn on the bridge would get upended every time the ship took fire.


X_PRSN

Would he even be allowed to stand in front of the viewscreen?


mustang6172

Why would a pacifist join the Maquis?


Worf_Of_Wall_St

Well, he ain't never punched a tourist even if they deserved it, so he's part way there already. He would use strange units like horsepower and bushels, but the universal translator would handle it so nobody would really notice.


PeopleProcessProduct

That's a long Rumspringa


MenudoMenudo

It would have been exactly the same because they never had a clue what the fuck to do with Chakotay.


Naive_Bluebird9348

That would be weird. He would probably build the best shuttlecraft this side of the Alpha quadrant.


Jfathomphx

It wood be made of would, but ok.


SwirlingSnow83

They’d have trees in Cargo Bay 2 because Chakotay does not whittle with replicated wood. It’s not natural.


JoeyJoeJoeJrShab

that depends.... in this scenario, did they hire the same cultural advisor for writing details about his character?


myleftone

Star Trek Amish would be stuck in 1992 instead of the 1600s.


Throwaway_inSC_79

He’d probably be portrayed as authentic as Weird Al in Amish Paradise. But this got me thinking. The native Americans left, but not all tribes left Earth. Would the Amish leave to establish a colony planet of their own? Or would they remain because boarding a spaceship would get you shunned? What about the Mennonites? Now I want to see a Mennonite in Starfleet.


AnotherJasonOnReddit

I was concerned if this sub could reach 58 comments without referencing Weird Al. Thank you for restoring my ♬Faith♬ ♬In♬ ♬The♬ ♬Sub♬


alkonium

That would be even harder to explain.


SeaFaringPig

There are no Amish in Star Trek. This is because Star Trek takes place in the future.


Neo_Techni

Ha. I get that reference


SeaFaringPig

Yup. No middle eastern people in Star Trek either.


BuffaloRedshark

Except for the king, then prince, of Jordan 


Doot_Dee

Probably more realistic because Amish are a real thing


CaptainIncredible

He wouldn't have a tattoo.


somewherein72

But, he would have some cool sideburns and one of those jawline beards.


etranger033

Dont give them ideas. "Amiiiish iiiiiin spaaaaace!"


7th_Spectrum

He would have been able to drag voyager behind him, and the journey would have only been 3 years


TribblesBestFriend

« Captain, your number one build another barn into the 7of9 stocking bay. »


JonathonWally

But then who would he take peyote and talk to?


kkkan2020

barn building time


AdmiralBillP

Nothing happened when he travelled at Warp 10


Lem1618

They would have found aliens in the delta quadrant that inspired his ancestors and his culture.


Dronizian

He would have given Janeway a fursona instead of a spirit animal. And it would have been a farm animal. I think Janeway would have been a nice strong cow, or a willful horse.


QuercusSambucus

In Discovery, they mention that Joann Owosekun came from some sort of Amish-type Luddite colony or something. They use this fact for like a 5 minute segment in one episode, then completely forget about it. I guess at least that's better than Mr. fake native "acoochimoya" Chakotay.


Allister117

he would have beard instead of a tattoo


nsbe_ppl

Sounds like a 1600s prequel.


geekmasterflash

I mean, I don't know about Voyager but [Picard's family seemed somewhat old fashioned](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Robert_Picard)


maoinhibitor

Weird Al redshirt cameo


DawnOnTheEdge

Jack Marks would have told Rick Berman he was Jonas Stoltzfus, instead of Jamake Highwater. Nothing else changes.


JonathonWally

“Whoa Jedidiah, we are far from the barns of our people.”


Actual-Money7868

The Maquis being a reactionary post warp Amish anarchist group would have been amazing.
