I wasn’t clear.

The article calls out annual household income. Meaning that could be combined income.

A single person making 120k and couple making 60k x2 is not equivalent. Health insurance and living expenses creep up.

There’s also take home pay after taxes and expenses vs gross/net.

I feel like there should be a law to release the bits we need to support these efforts.

Too many times a product will die or a company will fold along with all its documentation.

Maybe release a final firmware opening up a product. Or at the very least a git repo with api documentation.

Yeah that’s a solid recap.

I now possess the knowledge about generating power to life off the grid using old motors salvaged from a junkyard thanks to my own personal research and video tutorials.

My intent with bringing that up is the hope of the existence of a document covering this topic in a preppers backup.

In a post apocalyptic scenario humanity has been proven to band together in groups and cooperate to survive. It’s less murder/greed and more sharing/helping. In these small groups it would only take one prepper or even an engineer to setup a generator or even just get solar panels to hookup for basic electricity.

Many of these points could be moot in a nuclear scenario where were dealing with EMPs and radiation.

Yeah my first thought was wondering what community projects exist to generate a guide to download all this info. I knew you could download all of Wikipedia but not the rest.

I’ve seen people make power generators using old washing machine motors. Youtube is full of them. Cutting PVC pipes to make wind ones and even water based ones off of rivers.

I feel like some people would figure out basic electrical grids for led lights in homes at night and possibly a battery bank made of car batteries or something.

Getting a laptop working in that environment wouldn’t be too far of a stretch. Just need to find an old brother laser printer and a Linux USB and you’re golden.

Print off the critical farming/water treatment stuff you need and power it off.

From speaking to a career USPS worker…

Ages ago you’d start your day and spend 4-6 hours sorting buckets of envelopes and packages. Then organizing them in smaller batches by block/street. Then 2~4 hours running your route.

Now they have machines do pretty much all the sorting. But you still got a 8 hour shift. So it’s 7+ hours of walking instead of the old 2~4. It’s extremely physically demanding since you now have to deliver four times the mail due to the automation of part of your job.

You two have fun and keep the games going. It’s better than just binge watching a show together.

I’m picturing a couple cuddled up in bed. Sitting up with a single DS. One person “driving” the game and the other backseating occasionally.

Then the dialogue hits and y’all dub it.
Sounds like an awesome time!

Farming sim? No stressful management? Witchcraft?

You caught my interest and my attention.

In the anime Ajin there are human who never die unnaturally via infinate regeneration but they still appear to age.

Closest thing to death there is decapitation which grows a new head without your memories. But your original head gets futurama’d

See you can keep going with this and just grind the brain into a sausage and feed it to wild animals. Then it gets broken down into nutrients and excreted, then fertilizer into trees.

At what point does one die in this chain?

Chop the head off and stick him in a jar like futureama

Yeah that’s my point.

If we had the tech from In Time but everyone would get infinate lifespan, but you can still die.

To the OPs title. Everyone has immortality and can’t die ever.

Yeah In Time (2011) was there my brain went with the no death thing.

I only saw the trailer, but my mind went to a future state where we solved aging, illness, disease and the like with technology / medicines.

So we change our current culture to conform to that. Including late stage capitalism and the owning class.

Verses everyone STARTING immortal. Its an even playing field since the starting lines are closer together. You don’t have generational wealth with people being born into wealth over and over at the same scale.

The head of the family that actually pulled themselves up from the bootstraps could still be alive and have the same core values of taking care of their workers. Instead of being dead and gone for 3 generations and enshittification takes root.

Yaknow there’s a movie about everyone living forever and you basically pay with your lifespan.

Technology advances enough to cure all diseases and stop aging. I think age 23-28 is prime. Some people look way more grown up at 28 vs 18. Also you’re body is done growing and starts breaking down in the mid 30s.

So yeah I’m thinking people are immortal via science. So it’s sci-fi not fantasy.

In fantasy humans would ALWAYS have immortality. It’s not like a switch is flipped in 1990 and suddenly people stop dying and aging.

Our society and culture would be completely different if death wasn’t a thing. One of the reasons we have so many issues is religion. What religion would immortals have? What does war look like for immortals? How do you decide who wins a war when soldiers can’t die? Violence loses its meaning with no death or injuries.

We’d all become non-violent. Maybe war would be decided by board games like chess. We’d be more open to talking things out instead of just killing and taking from each other.

Another issue with humans is overpopulation. Again resources being scarce and countries fighting over resources wouldn’t be a thing in the way we have it today.

See how this goes down the rabbit hole?

Well that’s just immortality. Even immortals can be killed in most myths.

Its no death. Not no aging or sickness.

People are still going to fall apart as they age. So I wonder if there would be a hard cap where you basically have a farewell party and go into a euthanasia booth/coffin.

Unauthorized pregnancies would be criminal. No idea what that world would do with the child in that situation.
