The thing about quantum immortality is that as you age and you start running out of timelines, the circumstances for you to still be alive get weirder and weirder.
Imagine you are 90 and are about to die in all other timelines and the only way you survive is for aliens to show up with a cure for death.
I mean, shit's pretty weird, though.
My dumbass was a bitch at cycling and nearly tried eating a headlong collision to make a crowded left turn. I had dreams about what my dead body would look like. This is seriously no joke
This is too real, I absolutely ate it once in a hotel shower all alone. I was stunned and had the wind knocked out of me while getting waterboarded by the shower. I don't think I ever felt so helpless and actually started thinking this is how it ends.
I had a good friend slip in the shower, hit his head, and die. He was 27. Life can change abruptly in ways you would never expect. Be careful out there please.
I've been more careful in the shower lately, especially since ours is all stone tile. It's got good traction, but I keep wondering what happens when people fall in showers--whether it's usually a traction thing, or whether it's significantly an orientation thing (due to temperature change, scalp massaging , head angle, etc. affecting blood pressure and equilibrium...).
Every time I saw a roadway accident in bad weather, I thought of it like something that wasn't going to happen to me, until I had my own moment and realized my traction on fresh rainfall wasn't what I thought it was.
Showers seem like the next "oh, that can happen to me" thing.
The Problem with slipping is: it first feels somewhat grippy. But when you start to slip it's suddenly like ice.
Have eaten absolute shit in the shower. I was young, in shape, just had a moment of complacency and slipped. Other than some bruising and scaring the shit out of me, I was fine thankfully.
My dad felt horrible and immediately bought sticky grip pads for the tub lol.
It can definitely happen to anyone, anytime. Be careful out there, eh
I've been leaving behind a few more dead timelines than usual lately. deja-vu-like flashes of mistakes I'm concurrently avoiding AND making at once. tripping down stairs that i actually made it safely to the bottom of. catastrophic car accidents that everyone actually ends up driving away from unscathed. I see it flash before my eyes and divert my course... I try to tell myself it's just experiential pattern recognition providing examples of what could go wrong, why to be cautious and take care. But... Yeah, this hits freaky
Having literally just now finished re-reading If This Book Exists You’re In The Wrong Universe, I’m compelled to ask if you’ve come into contact with any thick black goo that seemingly moved on its own?
Nah, I just have this nasty soy sauce that constantly leads to weird out of body experiences.

I’ve also had these.
Not always mistakes.
The one I had at the farmers market when I saw a flash and the entire thing obliterated by a nuke ala T2 was the worst.
So bad my wife noticed my expression change.
Had fun with that in therapy.
Read Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Fantastic book that actually hits that topic, especially near the end.
I also got some Mickey 17 vibes. Nothing over the feeling of your bones getting crushed between some heavy machinery while nothing actually happened. But yeah, it's just "dreams", alright? 😅
I used to want to be immortal. Now I understand those who don't want to.
Crawling around a claustrophobic attic in a heatwave recently and I had a panicked moment where I decided I had better get out before hyperthermia made it so I physically couldn't.
Pretty sure there is a parallel universe where firefighters are cutting holes in the ceiling to extract my rotting corpse from behind an aging air handler.
I actually think about this a lot.
Everything that can happen, does happen. Everything, everywhere, all at once!
Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

I sometimes think about this playing video games, especially Tomb Raider. The protagonist never ever failed. From their perspective they must feel invincible. Kind of explains Lara's cocky attitude.
Game idea: narrative focused crpg, with a relatively straightforward plot, but the protagonist remembers every time you reload and his every death, progressively tries to figure out what's happening, all while trying to actually succeed the original plot because that also seems important.
Ok, but hear me out. What if the universe is the insides of a quantum computation doing a Levin search based on reversible computation? Aka every time you truly hesitate before making a decision you’re doing a quick-save?
Edit: oh, and it’d be lazily evaluated in this case
So we're all just save scumming bastards?
Then who ever is playing this character is fucking dumb for even playing the game. Plz uninstall.
I’m an Orc from Warcraft II who keeps getting clicked on until I become self aware and yell “Stop poking me!”
Somewhere, somewhen, there is a version of me who made all the right decisions and is living a truly great life.
And everyday I give big props to them, while just doing the best I can each day and continue making questionable decisions sometimes.
There are also versions of you who made all the right decisions and are still living garbage lives because no decision in their control actually had an influence on the overall outcome. These versions are far more numerous.
I mustve died many many times cause the universe im in now sucks
Damn I didn't realise other people thought like this
Bold of you to assume other people exist
As far as I know, there's no evidence of the many-worlds interpretation, which quantum immortality relies on.
Also, quantum immortality doesn't mean you can't die, it means you'll go to hell when you do. Eventually you'll be reduced to a state where you can only think, with no way to interact with, or senses the world at all, making you dead for any observer who is not you. And you'll stay in this state forever.
Ran from a wildfire recently when the wind turned suddenly. In a few universes I am now BBQ.
Yet in all universes, you taste delicious to me. ❤️
Calm down, Jeffery.
