If you could travel to any world while you were sleeping, which would you choose? (lemmy.world)

You go to bed tonight and a wizard comes to you in your dreams and tells you from this night on, you will be transported to 1 world from any piece of media you know, every single time you go to sleep.

That world will be just as real as this one, as in if you die there, you die IRL, you will still need to eat and use the bathroom. Time passes by a .5x speed in both places while you're sleeping so for every 8 hours you sleep you will spend 16 hours in the other world. When you go to bed in either world you are transported to the other one.

The alternative reality Earth where Thomas Matthew Crooks aimed ever-so-slightly more to the right.

Thats actually a very wild concept to me because things would already be so different but also SO similar. Like all your friends and family would be the same but now some of them have shown you they're Nazi sympathizers. Also whats it like in 20 years? It would be 2 completely different realities but on the same timeline.

I am very interested in this episode of Black Mirror.

some of them have shown you they’re Nazi sympathizers

It's been known for years that the magats are Nazi sympathizers. And if you had any doubt, very senior figures have warned everybody very bluntly that Trump was a fascist.

So if any of your friends and family was a Trump sympathizer, you should have known long before the election that they were at least Nazi-adjacent.

Therefore the only difference between this reality and the one in which Trump is six feet under is that the American 4th Reich hasn't happened yet in the latter (but most likely will, because Trump is only a symptom of something deeper and profoundly disturbing in the American society).
