  • Dead cells and rogue legacy 1/2 were a lot of fun. Check out nethack if you want something more casual for mobile or in a terminal, it’s a classic. Switch specific I’d say check out dead cells or Isaac. If you want something casual without a big story or learning a bunch of RPG systems you might want to check out donut county, goose game, or golf story.


  • If everyone is reliving the same day over and over again most people can go a day without eating with some mild discomfort, pretty much all agriculture, grocery, etc would become luxury and less needed or used.

    All travel would become short distance you can’t spend 24hrs traveling to the other side of the planet just to get reset back home. Markets would go into stasis and stay closed there’s no interest earned over 0 days, which means most people would stop working as most jobs wouldn’t be necessary if everything just resets after 24 hours, you can’t build or destroy anything permanent.

    I think most people would panic or just vacation for a few months worth of repeated days before organizing around new myths and practices and traditions around what caused it and how to change it back.



  • But blocking any of it is useless because none of it is going into your head, the wavelength of the radio waves is too large to penetrate skin or bone, it bounces off harmlessly like am/fm radio waves. It’s in the nonionizing range of the em spectrum, unlike ionizing em waves like X-rays, gamma rays, radon emissions, etc that do penetrate human bodies and can cause protein or DNA damage.


  • Arguing politics with someone who thinks ‘let’s go Brandon’ is useful argumentation is like arguing religion with someone who never read their holy book or science with someone who barely passed 5th grade, their whole position is as superficial as possible and they think name calling is effective discourse in general because it works on people who are uneducated on the topic and rhetoric like themselves.

    Post scarcity resources society would no longer fight over resources, but would likely still continue fighting over control over each other. Medical and technical breakthroughs leading to people living hundreds of years or longer would still fight over cultural issues regardless if there’s a monoculture or freedom of cultural expression. As long as there are humans there will likely be individual vs collective power struggles.

    One interesting idea is that humanity may destroy itself, or it may lead to one or more progeny species that are no longer human. The Copernican principle is that Earth isn’t in some privileged position, but more likely observations of the universe from Earth are representative of the average around the universe. The idea can be extended to the Copernican method (not by Copernicus, and questionably scientific) to make predictions about the longevity of all sorts of things. If we can assume we’re close to the middle of humanity with about 100 billion people existing before us, we can then calculate based on population projections how much more time another 100 billion would take, somewhere between ~800-18,000 years. It doesn’t predict the cause of the end, maybe destruction, maybe mutating into something new to continue on, but evolution is still active today in all species based on natural and artificial survival pressures. Maybe one of those post human species will be able to shed some of our common faults.
