I… might have been that co-worker.

Dude, that’s literally insane.

I’m afraid I sometimes am that guy, but with my glass of cold water. I instinctively say ‘aah’ after my first sip.

Thank god I’m working at home half of the time.

In contrast, dying but finding that an infinite universe will almost certainly build your atoms back up again in the same configuration in an endless cycle without you knowing… might be more plausible and therefore even scarier to me.

Helium would definitely be an easy win for the wolf.

But the image states the environment right, not specifically the climate.

And even that’s only in the optimistic situation where you can always fully trust “1”, also in the future.

Do you have a source for that? I cannot find anything about it online in Google, Wiki or even in ChatGPT delusions.

I think I understand your viewpoint, but personally have a different opinion. I’m not going to a restaurant to socialize with the waiter; although some of those interactions can be pleasant it’s still just a functional transaction to me that can go wrong and could be be optimized. My main focus is the people I’m going to the restaurant with and the food/drinks.

QR for the win for me, but I agree fully that most of those apps kinda suck. I hope time will fix that.

I’m thinking new interfaces/concepts of interaction might be where we lose touch.

Just like the previous baby boom generation had people with a lot of technical knowledge about for example how punch cards were used to configure computers and how to type with an old typewriter, we might know much about more advanced technical software and touch interfaces, but many might skip the Snapchat/TikTok scene and feel out of place.

Not to mention future upcoming things like a Brain-Computer Interface connected to an AI; perhaps to socialize, to create tools / content. Some of us, and maybe you as well, will join this scene too, but I already see people giving up and staying away from new stuff.

We will have a role in the technical side because of our knowledge, but that core knowledge is not that important any longer in many fields just like most developers don’t have to worry about machine code any more.

That’s actually quite a good idea; press “West” will take a bit to get used to but easy nonetheless.

I think the poster is just expressing their amazement on how true the meaning behind the statement is, followed by jokish advice.

For anyone looking for video context.

So I can influence my skill just by the power of mind? Brain continue to self-sabotage.

I’d be placing a thank you letter in advance.

Don’t get me wrong, in general I’m not a cynical person and have most things one would wish for. I just don’t think life is worth anything in itself and being alive is just a chance of experiencing or producing needless suffering. The (incredible) good feelings don’t make up for all the bad ones that exist.

If someone where to kill me, I’d be glad it’s over. While being alive I’d feel bad for my loved ones of course, but if I’m dead I wouldn’t be able to feel that. I know that is kind of selfish, so I would try not not to kill myself as I have too much responsibilities, but if I’m just being honest, one can dream.

As far as value goes, I don’t particularly value my own life or that of a fish. I do value the suffering of both while living though, as in I want to minimise that as much as possible.
