Comment on You teleport into the last game world you played. What happens next?
lath@lemmy.world 1 year agoAs myself, not at first unless impossible to avoid. Eventually though, probably yes. As my character, definitely.
I’d also regularly make a clone and store it somewhere safe as backup, because there are a thousand ways to die in space and i doubt to be special enough and avoid them all.

The concept of transporters scare me.
Yeah. In more dangerous situations I would need to choose between
A) Me dying permanently
B) using a transporter to avoid Me dying permanently, but Original Me dying in the transporter so Other Me can live.
Every day I wake up with the memories of being the same person who went to bed last night. What if I’m a new consciousness stream who simply has those memories but never lived them?

Technically, we already are. I don’t know the conversion rate, but most of the body is being replaced by new cells constantly. So using the transporter would mostly be just changing to a new set of cells. But i’m rather attached to my own, homegrown cells. Feels cozier.
