Hey
Stop me if this is a stupid offer, I'm still trying to figure out how this whole thing works, but
I heard about the whole gate problem, and the whole simulation thing, there's probably more going on too that I don't know about yet
I'm an engineer
You guys might already have a few, but just in case you're shorthanded
If there's anything I can do to help, I want to

I can also apparently do a weird tools thing now so that's
something

edit: if anyone's in the market for crazy experiments in there
you guys glitch the sim when you do your chest thing, right?
anyone tried organizing a group glow-off? overwhelm the system with too much at once, DDOS it into crashing?

are you saying you think this is some animorphs bullshit where they're trying to take over our brains?

[wittingly]

I smoked a lot of weed in college

[evocation]

i never went to college
but i hope your theory is wrong because i hate it

[wittingly]

yeah, me too
I feel like that 'Aliens!!' guy on the history channel, but at the same time...

Considering where we are and what the fuck is happening right now, it doesn't seem as far fetched as I'd like

I'm hoping somebody with a couple of spare PHDs will pop in and give me the comfort of disproving this as completely impossible.

[evocation]

god i hope so too
how many phds do you have? how many cancels your terrible idea out?

[wittingly]

I have 0 phds, just a masters
hence: vastly underqualified

[evocation]

oh
so i can totally say your theory sucks and you don't know anything

[wittingly]

yes, you can 100% absolutely say my theory sucks and I don't know anything

[evocation]

i'm going to do that because i'm pretty sure i'm already losing my mind

[wittingly]

I support your choices

[evocation]

thanks
you got here after all this shit went down right? how did that go?

[wittingly]

woke up in a creepy abandoned warehouse with a bunch of comatose people on gourneys, which was like noooo

realized there were no aliens and there's electricity and hot water and processed food here + humanity probably isn't about to be eminently wiped off the face of history, which was like yeeeees

then they were like, you can't go anywhere and we're locked out of the home base city and lots of people are trapped in a simulation, which was like nooo

but someone just offered to show me the components of a hoverbike, and

I think you're getting the picture

rollercoaster ride

[evocation]

there's bugs in the food
there's your new drop

[wittingly]

what i'm hearing is
there's food in the food

farming fucking sucks
scavenging buildings that could get ripped out of the ground at any second fucking sucks
I'll eat grasshoper taco all day every day

[evocation]

i've never been on a farm in my life
the closest i've gotten is some bougie assholes wanting to grow shit on their overpriced balcony or whatever
but grasshoppers suck
the legs get stuck in your teeth

[wittingly]

better than my own legs getting stuck in compacted concrete

they have tofu and stuff too right?
i mean, if there was ever a right time to go vegan
not me, give me the bug steak, but for you

[evocation]

yeah they do
how would your legs get stuck in concrete exactly?

[wittingly]

the race that landed on earth
they have these big like
scrapper ships, they're basically magnets
they rip whole buildings out of the ground and smash them into dense blocks like a trash compactor

[evocation]

jesus christ
why? for resources or something?

[wittingly]

bingo
showed up to strip out our planet, in a nutshell
if it's metal they snatch it, no questions

[evocation]

that's fucked
i guess this place really must be a step up

[wittingly]

You have literally no idea how legitimately stoked I am to be here

straight truth? even if brain robots overthrow everything and take over a bunch of people's brains it's still kind of a step up lifestyle wise

[evocation]

kind of a fucked up thing to say to someone whose brain might get taken over, dude

[wittingly]

hey, I have one of those neural mesh implants too, I'm pretty sure we're equal risk

statement still stands

[evocation]

can we like
not talk about shitty ai lobotomies?
tell me stupid college stories or something
