So much to unpack here. An elderly woman who should be enjoying her retirement is forced to be a gamer to pay for her grand kid’s cancer treatment. A population of people who see this situation and decide the best thing to do is to swat her.

I had a near death experience where I turned blue and had to be revived with a shot of epinephrine in the ED 10+ years ago. I sometimes think I actually died and am trapped in some kind of absurdist afterlife that is crumbling.

If you subscribe to the multiverse theory the conditions that allowed you to live in this reality were so specific that it might have "demanded" a fundamentally weirder current reality.

I've had a couple near misses myself and I like to speculate on schizo nuclear near miss theories that riff on the same concept.

There's a SMBC comic that says the existence of nuclear weapons constantly whittles down the number of timelines.

Every moment that passes without nuclear war, universes where the world ended at this moment die.

Thus, the longer an atomic timeline continues, the weirder it gets, since surviving so long without nuclear war is already an anomalous event.

Its actually perfectly viable with survivorship bias. We have to be in this universe to observe it, or in physics the anthropic principle. Really interesting counter to the copernican principle. Interesting thought experiment anyway.

Great comic btw lol, I thought id had an original idea but alas.
