I was sort of still thinking of this quantum hell thought experiment, and wanted to write about it. I should probably have started my comment with “I believe the interpretation presented in OP’s post to be false because …”

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.
As JcbAzPx said, you’ll continue in all timelines where you’re alive. No matter of how injured you are. Eventually, you’ll be just a brain kept alive through thermal fluctuation. (Theoretically, entropy can spontaneously go down, the chances of this happening going down exponentially the more entropy we’re talking about. Think about shuffling a deck of cards, and getting a completely sorted deck of cards. Certain at 1 card, 25% chance at 2 cards, and basically zero at a full deck, but still theoretically possible.) Eventually, you’ll be a disembodied brain suffering for all eternity from phantom pain.


10 Terabytes. 1 letter is 2 bytes in unicode. 10e12 bytes. 5e12 letters. 1 word is about 5 letters. 1e12 words. Assuming 500 words per page, that would be 2e9 pages. Page thickness assumed at 1e-4. 2e5 meters, if you stack all the pages. 200 kilometers high tower of paper.


For example that whole Horizon Worlds blunder.
I’m out of the loop on that one. What happened?
It’s legalized banditry.


The obvious course of action in a sensible society would be to fine them 0.01$ on day one, 0.02$ on day 2, 0.04$ on day 3, then 0.08$ and so on. Until the turbines have been removed.
When do the books belittle women and reading?
If a wall has a hole in it, you patch the hole, or build a new wall. Tearing it down before building a new wall would demonstrate a level of recklessness bordering on suicidality.


Then why not sink his ship five minutes from his home?


Which sort of paints Poseidon as incompetent. You’d imagine that the God of the sea would be able to reliably kill people at sea.
It’s nice that they accommodate his condition by letting him work from home.
That looks genuinely delicious. Though, I haven’t have breakfast yet.


Thing being, even the cheap models don’t offer good value for money. Once the big players run out of money, the whole thing will collapse.
Well, if you download an installer from gog and save it to a disk, it’s yours forever, regardless of what gog does. Of course, the window to do so might close with very short notice.
Moore’s law ended. Stuff done in 15 couldn’t be done in 5. But there’s not much we can do now that we couldn’t do 15.
Like what?
Fun fact, the findings were actually that the students thought they scored closer to the average than they actually did. As in, below average students did think they scored higher, but they still thought they scored below average.
The last game I played was “Timberborn”, and that one is a city builder, so the three possibilities would be: A) I become some kind of floating entity giving orders to beavers. B) I become one of the aforementioned beavers. C) it defaults to the game I played before that, which would be “Look Outside”. In which case I’m probably fucked.
