If cryogenics ever really happens like that we'll start celebrating some form of rebirth day
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Imagine being frozen for 50 years, you step out at the worst time in 50 and immediately ask to go back in...
Me "What year is it?"
Employee "Why, it's 2126. What'd'ya think, you like it?"
Me "But... why is everything on fire outside?"
Employee " haha 😅😅 funny you should ask, you see, this guy Trump was also froz--"
Me "throw me back in another 50 years please "
Hey guys, it's me. I have been 5 years without cryogenics and got a badge from Athawlic Anonymous.
Happy thawday to you!
Once you get frozen...
Sometimes you just gotta let it go...
Let it go?
Hey, an actual shower thought! Have my upvote!
Chronoage vs. Bioage
Due to time dilation, astronauts’ bodily age ends up being marginally less than their age according to the number of days passed on Earth.
The question is will they regulate it, or just price wall it? If you're wealthy and you could successfully freeze yourself for a decade, you'd make stupid amounts of money during that time frame just from interest and investments.
I'd think the latter as we don't really account for the fact some people age slower than others today
Certainly "adulthood" would be thought in a more binary sense than it already is though
