Cryogenically frozen forever*
*Until the funds dry up
From time to time they have to open these things and basically find melted human jelly where a body was once placed.
Oh god the smell
I’ve never had the misfortune of dealing with it IRL myself, but the stories from cops who’ve had to retrieve bloated ‘floaters’ from shorelines or bodies of water are pretty daunting - describing ‘the deceased’ as sometimes coming apart in their hands like an overcooked pot roast (“fall off the bone ribs, $9.99 this Thursday at Al’s Cookhouse!”).
I once had the opportunity to visit a dead whale on a beach and the craziest thing is the smell. It’s so aggressive and overwhelming. Because the whale died at sea it started to decompose and the rancid oils covered the beach. The belly had popped and the meat was dark blue blackish. My sinuses got PTSD.
Nothing compares to a massive rotting meat sack marinating in salt water for a few days.
Sweet Jesus, I can well imagine, except for the scale on account of some whales being school bus-sized. Rotten rodents don’t hold a candle given the 1000:1 or more ratio.
CERN needs to be stoped
Pyramid schemes are always great until they collapse.
Are there any even half plausible ways cryogenics might work with the technology we have? I mean, if they’re frozen their cells are ruptured.
Yeah - its all bullshit. Just a pie in the sky thing to sell to people with lots of money. Reminds me of the Pharaohs being buried with all their shit as if they would live again and still have all their stuff
I mean, if they’re frozen their cells are ruptured. Not strictly true, biologists freeze cells all the time.
And they’ll have to fight it out to be the one consciousness getting shoved into a probe and sent into space after they’re revived by a theocratic fascist state in 500 years
I get this reference
And Walt Disney’s head.
Oh I could do the funniest thing.
power outages at these facilities already happened, but it’s a smaller problem in grand scheme of things. facility of this type promises to keep human meatsicle at 77K effectively forever (because magic tech to revive dead is not coming), for a single payment. this means they’ll simply run out of power/liquid nitrogen money at some point and will have to shut down, and allow everything to thaw
At the very least the customers won’t notice. 😅
So the gamble is that tech is invented before money runs out?
But also didn’t one routine inspection discover liquefied human remains?
it’s not a gamble, it’s more of a shared belief propagated by people who took scifi way too seriously
Not even. By people who took it literally and completely missed the point.
tech is invented
Why? We have enough humans. Why would we thaw out more at huge cost?
Thawing out scientists whose research is stalled because aliens have blocked sub atomic particle research.
Ayy fellow Trisolaris enjoyer
Because of the huge cost.
You already have their money.
The idea is you have investments running that return enough to keep the place running indefinitely.
This sounds like Blackrock but with dead investors in the meat freezer.
Compound interest.
Which one is Austin Powers?
