No worries, homie!

He gave you IMMORTALITY, didn't say nothin' about remaining conscious!

And while suffocation due to CO2 accumulation doesn't feel nice, HYPOXIA ON THE OTHER HAND FEELS AMAZING!

So:
step 1: shut off your oxygen feed and your suit heat
step 2: let the CO2 scrubbers do their job
step 3: breathe easy because you still have the ambient nitrogen mix component

pretty soon you're gonna feel floaty, dizzy, and giddy - you're gonna feel exhilarated, a real I CAN DO IT vibe - and then as a tingly and warm sensation engulfs your entire body, you will begin to feel HELLA sleepy.

then your immortal body will go into a state of persistent dormancy, preserved by the cold, purified by the radiation.

if you are EVER found (assuming you ever are... and if you aren't, you won't be in any condition to care!) and your rescuers expose you to an atmosphere your body can actually use, you will AWAKEN and be able to pick up however many days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, or millennia later, and resume living a life, even if it isn't necessarily the one you once knew.

And should you be abducted by the gravity of any celestial body you will feel pain unimaginable for however long your nerves last, stranded on something that nobody else will ever discover to live out the heat death of the universe in a constant cycle of pain (if you can regenerate lost nerves) or as a mangled sentient* meat pile (if you can't regenerate) all because you were given Immortality and not Invulnerability.

  • Assuming you haven't entirely lost your mind by now.

Lmfao I was reading the parent comment thinking "hey thats actually pretty decent" and then you hit me with this. Instant "oh...."

Weird crop, I guess it originally was to remove the author

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, it sucks. That's the way it was when I found it.

[–] chiwiu@lemmy.world 77 points 10 months ago

I found this one if you're interested to replace it

Thanks! I just edited the post.

Seems the original is from pictures in books

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In boxes*

Pictures in books are a different subset of pictures. /jk

Kinda sad to see that their last comic was posted in 2019

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 19 points 10 months ago (3 children)

A blog I followed stopped posting two years ago, and their site is still up but they don't post anything to any form of social media that I can search.

One by one, we'll all stop posting eventually. :(

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

It's fine, others will replace us and post in our stead.

It makes you feel so melancholy, doesn't it? Like a decade ago, I really enjoyed this small YT channel where she did blind playtbroughs of Dark Souls games. She wasn't much of a gamer in the beginning and started it because her boyfriend thought it would be entertaining having a complete noob try dark souls. He was right. Anyway, she worked her way through all 3 games over the course of about 2 years, but stopped part way into part 3 and never posted again. It's been like 7 years. I think about it every now and then and check on the channel. I always wonder if she okay.

The next one is pretty cool: https://www.1111comics.me/comic/tough-crowd/

I hope the author is OK..

They seem to still be alive, as at 5 months ago

(Apologies for the Reddit link. It's the most recent proof of life I could find)

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

This reminds me of the scary door episodes from Futurama

Who's the celestial/infernal entity?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago

If it's not "the big man himself" my only guess is Jesus.
