Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
Even if this worked as promised, if someone just murdered your child for example, and they got given a 1000 year sentence that was over in an afternoon from your perspective, would you feel that justice had been done?
You can argue that yes, of course it has, they've lived a millennium being punished for their crime, but I feel the vast majority of people would feel short changed by the process.
Whether that in itself is right or wrong is a completely separate discussion. But you'd have to have it if this tech actually existed and was used as they're suggesting.
1,000 years imprisonment would drive that person insane.
Not figuratively. The human mind was not built to comprehend such timescales.
