Logical Fallacies Podcast Moodboard by @lobster-graphics based on this post.
*I do not have the "stuff" to put together a podcast of this level, so if anyone wants to go for it, please do. And tag me lol.
I think the best headcanons are the ones that cause many more problems than they solve. In this spirit, I propose that latinum is a form of quark matter.
Pros
Quark is a traditional Ferengi name, which the UT translates fully ✅
Quark matter is a liquid (sort of) ✅
Quark matter would indeed be difficult to synthesize ✅
Cons
Not just difficult to synthesize, how tf are we keeping it stable at regular temperatures and pressures?
If it is stable at regular temps and pressures, we may now have a midas touch situation where it turns surrounding matter into latinum
Sososo heavy
We’re talking neutron star densities
Quark would instantly know if he was holding ingots of worthless gold. because of the weight
When Morn spat pure latinum into a cup, not only would it demolish the bar, it would cause some… uh… troublesome gravitational effects across the entire station
What in the Blessed Exchequer’s gold-pressed galaxy is Morn’s stomach made of?
“Worth its weight in latinum” -> kind of cheap actually
quark in the hooouuse
some more linework-focused stuff for u. love graphic style lines. perfect for comics.
coloring is so stupid hard bros. balancing a color palette with balancing the values with managing the overall composition including light and shadow and themes and aesthetics and stylistic choices and brush techniques and
why do all that when gradient map is right there #digital art
Money must be such a weird concept for the Starfleet officers on DS9. Like you understand the idea from your school days, it's a form of artificially scarce symbolism representing limited goods—but in your day to day it means nothing. Latinum is just this dumb thing you have to get enough of to give to Quark to make him do what you want; you don't know why he wants it, but if you want the guy to let you use his holosuites you have to give him the metal sticks. It's a weird side quest you occasionally have to go on. You get the idea of scarcity, there are some things a replicator just can't make (or can't make fast enough), but the idea of a symbolic representation of scarcity just seems really odd. You write it of as a strange Ferengi cultural practice. The guy likes useless metal sticks and arbitrarily withholds the holosuites unless you have enough metal sticks, it is what it is.

Do you speak Latin*?
YES; I am fluent in it.
SOMEWHAT; I am partially fluent in it.
NO; I am not fluent in it at all, but know of it.

*also known as lingua Latina, Latinum

Quark gave me twelve bars of latinum and said "knock yourself out kiddo."???
