It does help to know what you're drawing, painting, etc.

As an engineer, it's not that far off…

Looks about right to me...

It's powered by a hamster wheel? Must be a Geo Metro.
Septcanmat
Ah, do THAT’s what “Put it in H!” meant!

hamster wheel? No no no. That...my friend...is a Turbo Gerbil!

My mom used to call her Metro a wind-up toy car.

Sadly hilarious
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
‽ why should cartoonists have to accurately represent things
Gindipple
I'm sorry, your guess was wrong, please try again

The hamster should be running the other way
cousteau
Depends on the model.

Also, that’s clearly a Syrian hamster. Real cars use Russian hamsters.

This is a typical case of an internet poster being confidently wrong and ignoring that the gear is clearly in reverse.
friendsofsandwiches
Well that's OBVIOUSLY the inside of the imgur servers.
cousteau
With a functioning hamster.
Fhant
That's impossible, the hamster is alive and the whazitcalled isn't connected to the thingamajig!
macrolet
Also not enough bananas.

And no giraffes.
NineByNine
The giraffe SHOULD be in the passenger seat, but somehow it's driving the car now.

And where is the single potato server?

The script writers of Star Trek violently disagree.
HedonistBeard
They disagree that it's a problem? Because it's a huge opportunity!

I do like the anecdote that they'd just write "[TECH]" in a script and then backfill with technobabble later.

It was smart, because they actually got someone who knows their stuff (or at least their lore) to make it at least plausible if you know some physics. Obviously there's a lot of magical hand-waving going on, but it made things consistent.
ThatLoserTheFourth
From what I've heard, it's consistent enough that if you have enough knowledge about how the ships "function", you can actually correctly diagnose a lot of issues that come up in the show
HonestCommentFarmer
TNG is probably the best for this stuff. They get a little looser as the series' progress, but for example, all the drugs the doctors use follow similar real-world naming conventions and generally are all used consistently to treat the malady they were introduced for. Voyager's Doctor does overuse Inaprovoline for whatever ails the crew, but at least he never uses it to treat brain problems.
Septcanmat
Inaprovaline is probably the only thing they had a steady supply of, so it was used in place of more appropriate medications when possible.
