According to the theory of quantum immortality, everyone gets their own main-character timeline.

Karen: “I’M THE MAIN CHARACTER!”

Manager: “But not in this timeline, ma’am.”

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Also, in most timelines you’re dead or never existed.

[-] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

That's the best part, you have way more timelines where you aren't the MC so there's basically a 0% chance you're in one now.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Quantum immortality is just solopsism, with the added twist of watching all your loved ones die

Hard pass

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Great.

So how do I get there?

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

would tell you, but don't want you to be greeted by quite literally infinite versions of you

Or an extra who's so inconsequential that the writers haven't bothered to give you a story arc.

I'd personally like to believe that I'm preparing to be the wise mentor for a younger hero.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Aww man, that means you're basically guaranteed to be killed by the villain, giving the hero an impetus to fight.

At least you'll give them a final nugget of wisdom with your last breath that will help the hero in a moment of crisis.

I'll continue to guide them from the spirit realm 👻

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

very much same. These tend to be the most interesting types of people.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

A main character, this is an ensemble cast. Just don't let the red shirts know...

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

It’s an MMORPG, we’re all the main characters.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Spoken like a side character. The real question tho is are you a krillin or a yamcha?

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

SENSU BEAN!

(I mean, Krillin FUCKS)

No one wants to be Yamcha....

Well... Early Yamcha. Hmm

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

"Hey, krillin, Iiiiii sensu have a problem..." "Gggrrrrgrggrgruggle"

Too bad my life is a horror story.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Empirically, I'm immortal.
