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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

What if reincarnation? When someone dies in the Matrix, their body gets reconnected to another baby in the Matrix. As for how the human population is maintained outside of the Matrix... either the machines keep catching more humans, or something like artificial insemination. Or cloning
No, if you die in the Matrix you die in real life
The body cannot survive without the mind
My neighbor begs to differ. That jackass is completely brain dead.
Hehe.
You think that’s air you’re breathing?
It's actually microplastics
“Are you saying I can dodge taxes?”
“No, neocapitalism, I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”
"If you can dodge taxes, you can dodge a ball"
Did you see the player with the red ball?
Huh?
Look again?

How long until we blot out the skies to reduce global warming.

But why would the bother with this? How would that help with anything?
That would actually be a good idea. With people growing up and learning on their own, you don't have a fully controlled system. The world inside the Matrix will be evolving and from time to time there will be some glitch somewhere. If you have a base of defined childhoods, then only physical differences between bodies and random occurences inside are uncontrolled
If I were to construct the Matrix, I would go after cloning (fewer biological lottery) and predefined lifepaths to keep everything nice and stable
Kinda reminds me of Brave New World
Well, they also were after stability
Imagine a power plant based on millions of hampsters running on wheels. And some kind of video game that gets them to run.
It doesn't have to be hamsters
