You go to bed tonight and a wizard comes to you in your dreams and tells you from this night on, you will be transported to 1 world from any piece of media you know, every single time you go to sleep.

That world will be just as real as this one, as in if you die there, you die IRL, you will still need to eat and use the bathroom. Time passes by a .5x speed in both places while you’re sleeping so for every 8 hours you sleep you will spend 16 hours in the other world. When you go to bed in either world you are transported to the other one.

    The alternative reality Earth where Thomas Matthew Crooks aimed ever-so-slightly more to the right.

      Thats actually a very wild concept to me because things would already be so different but also SO similar. Like all your friends and family would be the same but now some of them have shown you they’re Nazi sympathizers. Also whats it like in 20 years? It would be 2 completely different realities but on the same timeline.

      I am very interested in this episode of Black Mirror.

        It’s been known for years that the magats are Nazi sympathizers. And if you had any doubt, very senior figures have warned everybody very bluntly that Trump was a fascist.

        So if any of your friends and family was a Trump sympathizer, you should have known long before the election that they were at least Nazi-adjacent.

        Therefore the only difference between this reality and the one in which Trump is six feet under is that the American 4th Reich hasn’t happened yet in the latter (but most likely will, because Trump is only a symptom of something deeper and profoundly disturbing in the American society).

      Seriously. Fully-automated luxury gay space communism. I could do without most of those adjectives and still be living it large.

          It doesn’t come up much except to underscore that in The Culture there is no “normal” with regard to sex or gender because people can be whatever they want and can change on a whim. so without a base gender/sex you can’t have a queer gender/sex.

        Absolutely. And when bored (which is likely to happen), I’d visit Moorcock’s “Dancers at the end of times” universe, for the same carefree attitude, but in a much more spicy flavour

      I considered going to the Wizarding World too, but what if I end up a Muggle? Also, I’m 34 I can’t exactly enroll in Hogwarts at this point.

    The Elder Scrolls. In the cities and towns it seems like a simple life if you’re just a random NPC. Give me a break from worrying about bills and work.

    I’d go to the world of The Culture. Fully automated luxury gay space communism, immortality, the works. The only problem is figuring out how to put my ‘real world’ self into a permanent coma so I can stay there.

      Let them figure it out, those machines are quite smart. If they come up with something let me know, I might be interested.
