I’m taking shuttlecrafts.
Anything that ever includes Galaxy Quest is an immediate win from me. Doesn’t help I’ve seen the movie so many times (it’s a movie version of my weighted blanket) that I can vividly hear that ‘exploded’ line in my head.
Fuck you I’ve gotta turn the damn movie on again now.
I like the “Gay” folder lol
Gay just looked a little nicer than “Porn” lol
That makes it 10 times funnier lol
What can I say, I’m a polite degenerate.
If you stepped through a time-travel portal, your conscience would effectively not exist between the original time and the time the portal leads to, yet no one would call you dead. If you could somehow install your mind into a new body, let’s say you download it into a flashdrive and plug it into someone else’s brain while your original body lays without a mind, people may call our body dead but not you. So when there is a continuity of self between the person who steps inot the teleporter and the person who steps out, I will never call that a death, that’s silly.
Downloading to a flash drive - I don’t think this is actually transferring consciousness. Flash drives are just copies.
To survive the process, you would have to initially be plugged into something that is capable of acting as a full extension of your brain. You would then become simultaneously “one” with the device, as well as your current brain. Then somehow, your current brain functions would need to cease working, and you would be fully reliant on the new “brain.”
From there, that process in reverse would bring you to a new body.
