I wish I had the confidence in mankind's future to consider cryogenic freezing...
Wake up being yelled at by a lawyer for interrupting his masturbation session during "Ow! My Balls!"
Just a minute, baitin.
The global seed vault in Norway is north of the arctic circle as a way of offering preservation insurance and predictable, controlled, frozen temps for food sources and biodiversity. It's constructed deep underground in permafrost.
I was reading a book about refrigeration's impact on the food supply last year and at the end the author decided to visit. The day of her visit it was closed due to emergency at the main gate; meltwater was flooding the entryway. Meltwater North of the arctic circle.
I think it's much more likely you awake when the power goes out because MicrosoftAlphafacebookXDisneyP&G needed more power for a new data center and you couldn't afford a politician to keep your town's power.
If the power goes out, you don't wake back up. This ain't fallout 4. If the power goes out, you're a corpse. We don't have a way to thaw human sized creatures that doesn't involve ice crystals rupturing cell walls, and organs. The only creatures that seem to be able to do it, either live at the poles in water, or are tiny. Even then, most of them aren't mammals.
yeah i was thinking about that. like would you wake up in a dictatorship or a time with way more problems than now
