The knives were Cutco, and they made sure that you saw the branding on them each time one of them cut you. Look at how that edge holds up? See how cleanly your flesh is parted by the blade?
Yeah, this doesn't sound like it's "for the people," it sounds like it's specifically for the system. Why bother with jails if you can just make people feel like they're being punished while still slaving away for their wealthy overlords?
I've had drugs that put me in a weird agonizing bodyless state for what seemed like probably days. It's really hard to describe, but it was terrible. And I think an hour or two in reality. This post reminded me of that strongly, an awful idea.
More like 5 minutes in real time. But yeah, feels like days if not an eternity. And there's always that feeling of "Oh fuck. I'm never making it back to my body. In fact, my body was just an illusion, and now that it's gone I'll never get it back, like a dream you can't go back to after waking."
And that typically occupies your mind for the rest of the trip. Until it fades, and you find yourself back in your body, and after you kiss the ground you think "Well that wasn't so bad afterall. I bet if I try it again I can make it past that part without panicking."
Nope. It's like there's something you can't fully remember after the trip ends, but each time you go back you realize "Oh fuck, that's right. That's why this is so terrifying."
And then you make it back to your body again, kiss the ground, rinse and repeat...
Foxxy is 5-MeO-DiPT! It’s probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever tried. It had craaaazy aural and temporal distortions. I’ve never had something that changed the pitch and length of notes in songs that noticeably. Super mega weird stuff.
If we can't live forever, overclocking our brain-computer interfaces to cram more virtual time into our remaining years is the next best thing.
Maybe eventually there'll be FOSS privacy respecting degree packages that you can incorporate in maybe a week. Do 52 of them and prove something new at their insections. Repeat.
Can it at least be the magic bullet infomercial? The one where all the junkies wake up feeling like shit, and just want snacks, so they don't even question why a random guy is in their kitchen demoing the magic bullet. They just want nachos, and smoothies. Until Carol comes down and wants to make more drinks.
Like.....it's 8am, and she's bouncing down the stairs like "MARGARITAS PLEASE!!!!"
The neat thing is, you could put a standardised neuro-usable (no bits & bytes) interface in there and the brain would figure by itself out, how to use it. No complicated "this guys memory works like this and goes there and there" like in SAO' NerveGear, the brain does that.

the implication being that we will have brain implant technology thats for the people and not purely surveillance shows this is a work of fiction.

i'm sure that during the 10,000 years falling there were plenty of billboards and ads

The knives are the only way they can get “impressions” in the future

Do you watch the ad for the brief reprive or skip it to get to the bottom of the tunnel faster.
SethTaylor@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 110d
You skip the ad, because even falling through a tunnel of knives is better than watching an ad

This was my experience with ketamine therapy as well. I think they gave me way too high a dose.

I've never had a good trip on salvia. Always nightmarish experiences, every time. Maybe I should quit doing it one day.

The only things that have given me insane time dilation are Foxxy and a horrfying dose of ketamine.
