Last time, I used: "Anybody need anything while I'm out?" and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

"I'm aware that consciousness still exists under general anesthesia, but the brain is no longer capable of forming memories, so have fun stabbing me with knives, I'm actually going to feel it!"

But hang on, there's an interesting topic. Is consciousness the current processing, or is it the memory (and perhaps something additional)? Since not all nerve signals arrive in the brain at the same time, consciousness provably isn't immediate. Perhaps it's the recent memory of what just happened?

Fuck dude.... You just told everyone that we're living in a constant state of desync and the gamer in me doesn't know how to handle that

Eh....life is an MMRPG, so a bit of lag is normal...
