The fact that he didn’t realize he’s not addicted until stranded suggests that few Jem’hadar ever personally experience withdrawal. They receive regular doses and then die in combat, so it rarely comes up. Almost everything they know about the effect of white withdrawal is received knowledge.
If it weren’t canon that they need white to survive, then my headcanon would be that that they could totally survive without it and they’ve just been lied to all along. Like that episode of TNG.
My interpretation was that ketracel-white was both chemically addictive AND needed for the specific amino acid (or whatever it was that their body could not produce).
This, to me, meant that any Jem’Hadar that wanted to drop ketracel-white would go through withdrawal and then die painfully. For most Jem’Hadar the two different aspects would be indistinguishable from each other and viewed as one effect.
Not sure if you are aware, but as far as I can tall, this post can only be seen by certain instances. I bounce between this account and my main at lemmy.world (world tends to have trouble uploading) and I can’t see it from there.
It’s because not everyone is federated with Beehaw and if the instance isn’t federated with them you won’t see posts from their users. You can see which instances are federated with your instance by going to servername.whatever/instances. So for us we would check at startrek.website/instances and then you just search for beehaw. If it shows up in that list then you will see their posts. If not, you won’t.
It’ll blow over eventually, but beehaw has defederated a lot of instances until there are better moderation tools built in to Lemmy itself. Once those are implemented, beehaw will probably refederate with most stuff again.
