    The first argument is silly. You could simply search “Sunrise time Melbourne”.

    The second argument is also silly. Some people do work jobs overnight, and they don’t say they work 19:00-24:00 + 0:00-2:00

    They simply say “I’m working Friday from 19 till 2”

    Third argument is the same as the first. Look up “sunrise time Melbourne”.

    Besides, a single format timezone works best when the people who use it are prepared to let technology dictate floating values.

    Sunrise time is always changing, and our bodies have evolved to wake with the sun, not with some arbitrary number.

    That’s why I use Suntimes to wake up.

    I set my alarm to “sunrise minus one” and I always wake up one hour before sunrise.

    I work from home, so work always starts for me “sunrise plus one”.

    I set my alarm to tell me to sleep at “sunrise minus 10” and I get 8.5 hours sleep which is fine for me.




  • ACKTHUALLY

    My other post gave an answer which made sense.

    I would want to know what moment in the future causes me the most stress, which I don’t need to worry about at all.

    No paradoxes, just convenience.

    Also, I wasn’t saying money making wouldn’t work, only that your future you would cease to exist because you would have changed things.

    If you’re okay with suicide to offer your past self financial advice, then the same should be true of your future self.

    Personally, erasing that timeline seems unacceptable.



  • Everyone here is trying to make a quick buck, without thinking about whether it will work.

    If they change the past, they will cease to exist, unless time is looped, which means nothing would have changed.

    So the past is a dead end, and the future you should know this too, answering you will either make them vanish from existence, or answering you will not change anything.

    If they vanish, there’s no guarantee you’ll be better off, even if you do become rich.




  • This shit always makes me giggle.

    You wanna know what happens to all the moisture in your body when you freeze it?

    It crystallizes, turning basically every cell in your body into an expanding razor blade which slices through every other cell.

    Your brain gets turned into mush, held together by a matrix of ice.

    Imagine dropping a piece of paper into a paper shredder, then putting those paper strips into a blender with water. Then you take the blended mass of paper mush out, and try to reassemble it.

    That’s what these people think medical technology can do in the future.

    Fucking morons. There’s nothing to put back together! It’s fucked! You cannot unblend your death certificate!

    If you don’t believe me, try freeze a block of tofu at the back of your freezer at the coldest setting, then thaw it out.
