I watched one (1) show were this was going on, and I think I've concocted a way of telling.

How much David Bowie are you hearing in your day-to-day life?

If you look at a TV screen or turn on the radio, do you hear doctors arguing about how best to treat you?

Have you shot back to the 70's or 80's to work as a cop?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

No, no and no

...Whew

I would NEVER be a cop

I'm hearing a lot of David Bowie in my day to day life, should I be concerned?

we did it! we found the dreamer!

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

If my life is the dream then I genuinely fear for what the real world would look like

Not necessarily, there are other possible explanations. For example - you may be in suspended animation on a space ship sent to colonise mars.

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago

Am I on a King Bazinga colonizing ship or a USSR2 colonizing ship? That determines what I do when I wake up out of suspended animation

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

You're in an American remake trying to outsmart the source material kinda ship.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Wait, this isn't about 1899, right? Because I can't recall the purpose of the spaceship in 1899 ever being clarified before the show was cancelled.

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

I was shitposting about Life on Mars.

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Fantastic show. Though to be fair, it was never quite clear if he was in a coma or just insane.

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

The follow up series, Ashes to Ashes makes it more clear, but is also a much worse show.

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Oh yeah, I watched an episode of that then wiped it from my memory. Fair enough.
