      If it’s not death, that just sounds like the best sleep possible.

          Sounds like a great place for meditation.

          Pedantic thought experiment side note that is ironically long for a side note:

          How is it a void if it contains the ecosystems and consciousness(ess? (Gut biome and the various microscopic skin mites, etc)) of a human body?

          That’s a fuck ton of biology, physics, chemistry, philosophy, etc for a space where nothing is supposed to be. Does time also exist there? Because if it didn’t you couldn’t be aware of your self in there, so that would be a problem solved.

          If time does exist in this void though, by entering the void you will have changed its nature, it will stop being a void and it starts just being more of you. …And if you still can’t feel anything, I think this is called depression.

            let’s go with entropy exists as we know it, gravity is welcoming to a human body but there is no ground. no up or down. the arrow of time is what we know it as. it’s just an endless void where any action you take doesn’t affect your environment and the environment doesn’t affect you. lol not depression, thinking in terms of horror

              You’d have about 3 days of quiet contemplation before the dehydration will kill you.

              Considering how horrifying the thought of a void is for you, at least you won’t be stuck in there for very long.

      Trapped in space but you just ate a quadrillion calorie burrito so you have to exist floating in space forever and ever and ever and ever.

      Slightly better than just a void because you have the views, but slightly worse because you don’t know what to expect: what if I get sucked up into a black hole?

    I mean, God judging that I was a “problematic child” and overall a bad person and sending me to Hell, I guess. 🙃

    But, without talking about my religious beliefs, I’m afraid of doing something awful that I cannot fix or take back, in a moment of heightened emotion and lack of foresight, and hating myself forever for it. It’s the reason I stopped getting into random fights, after all. In the end, when you die, you die, there’s no more time for regrets, but if you kill then you have to live with yourself being a murderer, right? And I’m too self-aware to ignore it, and to see that if I ever started taking drugs to turn my brain and heart off I evidently have a problem and remembering the source of that problem would put me back to square one…

    That we may be living in a world where the super-rich and powerful from all countries have conspired to establish a kind of global absolutist monarchy of the utterly unscrupulous, in which fabricated conflicts between countries serve mostly to distract from the fact that those pulling the strings behind the scenes have already undermined every political system and are simply pitting people against each other in order to secure even more power for themselves through war, mass surveillance, propaganda, the rationing of essential goods, and blatant destruction.

    Please note: This is a conspiracy theory with no solid evidence, not a fact, but a dystopia that unfortunately seems increasingly realistic these days.

      As a counter point, when I see the super rich, they sll have huge egos. So while they may sceme together occasionslly when it suits them, I can’t see them all conspiring together because they all seem to think they know what’s best.

        Yes, that’s true, of course, and it’s the reason why no clear patterns can be found here. However, as is often the case with conspiracy theories, this could also be dismissed as a distraction from the conspiracy.

        But you are absolutely right: we should stick to the facts—this idea is just a nightmare scenario for me because even in democratic systems it would make freedom, self-determination, and above all the hope for better times almost completely impossible.

        Only once you have symptoms is it too late.

        You can have it for years before symptoms appear, though the average is two months. If you get vaccinated before then, you’re good.

    Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”

    Psychological and physical

    Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.

    And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”

    Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.

    You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.

      the worst one is FFI, which you dont sleep til you die. and there other variants of CJVD, thats just as strange. prions are also found in FUNGI, although it does the opposite rather than a disease state, its an evolutionary benefit rather than a disease. also the “so called protocol to put someone in a coma” on treating rabies, is largely been criticized and debunked as a various dangerous procedur, they could not replicate the same effect.
