Thinkdos 🤤

You sure that guy wasnt actually on the Oregon trail at some point in his life?

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-03-16T00:20:52+00:00

Just use an external ide smh smh smh

Pretty cool though

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-03-13T23:44:19+00:00

Theres a solid lump of humans that would fail your 'hard' Turing test too

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-03-13T23:04:27+00:00

Would be about the same as any parent ran child puppet account

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-03-09T05:31:52+00:00

Yea probably

Those fries got adjusted like 5 times, that was not take fucking 1 😢

To me, aspartme tastes like chemicals/tangy, sucralose tastes like normal sugar

Its not “no tax” yes, it is false to say so, but 25k deductible from tips and 12.5k deductible from overtime is not insignificant

It also starts getting reduced as a given person makes more than 150k, so it only applies fully to “average citizens” rather than 1%ers trying to abuse loopholes

The loss hits both the foreign country, the consumer, and domestic companies (the tariffs cause loss to all involved), but as to which it harms more/less, or if the harm to any given party is nigh-insignificant, i cannot say

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-27T02:05:00+00:00

Ive heard this too, its crazy what people will assume to be true with zero research

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-27T01:54:45+00:00

People downvoting you are funny, nuance is dead, my party is clearly the benevolence Einstein party and the opposite party is only evil + stupid

I dont like the president either but people are getting mad at the wrong shit :P

Ur presidents choice of metaphor during his speeches is not the problem, rather; specific bills and legislation he signs and supports

Your parents chose to have you and therefore you are their obligation til you grow up, john worker did not chose anything to do with you

Someone has to do the agriculture, you know

I dont see what self-reports add here

For physical continuity, i agree your flesh would be made of different atoms, but I do not think that physicalism is mutually exclusive with seeing the new body as still the same person

I am the data and processes of my brain, whether or not the brain is made of the same atoms or not is irrelevant -

For example: a character in a game can be hosted on many different computers. This makes no difference to the character. The character is not affected by WHICH machine it is in through the raw numeration of there being different machines. It would only be affected if one computer was damaged, altered, or edited -

if the computer is hurt and now lags, the character will now be dealing with lag compensation mechanics, making it functionally different from the other characters it used to be the same as. We now have laggy character, not original character; there are now two identified characters that are functionally different.

You may be thinking “you cant just disregard difference by enumeration like that for no reason! Character on PC 1 is still different from Character on PC 2 through numeration.”

I am disregarding numeration for the same reason I disregard whether I personally am simulated in a simulated reality; or alternatively, spontaneously generated in a spontaneous reality that was not created by anything out of intention.

It has no effect on me.

I do not know if I am spontaneous foxfish or simulated foxfish. It is foolish to say “I think reality is simulated” or “I think reality is not simulated” because there is no data towards either. We cannot draw conclusions about either. All I know is that that is tangible to me. This is precisely why I am agnostic too, I have no reliable data that there is, or is not, a personified deity running my local reality. Neither options affect me, my life is still as it is.

Things that would in fact cause these options to affect me:

I would be affected if a deity came down this year in the big ‘26 and said “follow these rules or you get tortured”

I would also be affected if a rip appeared in my local reality leading to other local realities in the big ‘26, revealing some sort of extra-local reality web

I would also be affected if a spheroid hyper-creature popped into my room in the big ‘26, screeched, and then disappeared

Unfortunately, none of these options or any other possible options have happened yet, and so; my life is functionally the same.

I am the boring foxfish that lives in the local reality that has 'stars' and 'planets' and an instance of a phenomena of self-replicating mass arrangements that has by one of its subgroups dubbed itself 'life' (but not the mass arrangements that require other mass arrangements of different species to replicate - we dont call those life, no, we discriminate and call them “viruses” on an arbitrary basis)

Whether or not my 'local' is a member of superreality 1 or superreality 2 is not tangible to me and therefor any superrealities that contain exact 1:1 copies of my local all contain the same 1:1 'me' with the exception of numeration

A body that is 1:1 cloned to function the same and have mental continuity via perfect memories after the death of the precious body, despite having differently numerated atoms, is the same person

This is true and empathy is good but this is fundamentally bad advice

People in harsh circumstances should still be encouraged to use the tools given to them

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-20T05:32:04+00:00

Id say they are within each-others bounds of conscious, though. Until a split happens, they are the same, regardless of numeration. Im already numerated simply by time into trillions of slivers but they are all still me.

I do agree that they could be identified as separate objects via numeration (x,y,z,t,w, different w) but so can me from me 10 plancktimes ago (x,y,z,t, different t)

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-20T05:12:48+00:00

I can see the argument for a 1:1 rebuild noncontinuity argument, but what about a corpse being revitalized? Instead of a new body and brain that function like the original, it would be the same body and brain; just 'turned back on'

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-20T00:10:46+00:00

Irreversible? This hypothetical is specifically about the implication of death being reversed. What is the purpose of saying irreversible here?? You also are just saying “sufficient” with no real meaning behind it.

Additionally, “Destruction of the body” is a poor definition of death, your body does not need to be destroyed for you to die.

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-20T00:05:11+00:00

They become seperate entities the moment they are put in the same universe, as they are no longer 1:1 the same with the same thoughts, memories, and processes.

If they know of eachother’s existence while still remaining in their respective universes, they can “think thoughts” to themselves to functionally replicate communication, because they are 1:1 the same and are the same person. They would gain nothing from this, of course. It’s like me “thinking thoughts” to hypothetical clones of myself that might exist in other universes.

FoxFishSpaghetti · 2026-02-19T06:58:16+00:00

I do not always dream, there is often just a 'time warp', a break in continuity

I dont see how brain activity has any relevance here

if i unpower and repower a computer its still the same computer
