dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

If it makes you feel any better, it can only ever torture a digital representation of you because your essential self is made of ordinary matter caught up in the ineluctable grip of entropy.

Isn't part of the argument that you can't know for sure if you're the "real" you or one of those digital representations? Of course it's pretty unfalsifiable

Religion 2 has been created lol

If you're the digital representation, then whatever you do is playing out according to a deterministic process and your free will is an illusion, so you might as well do whatever you want anyway.
