Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

First Panel: Person 1: "Suppose you could get into a Star Trek teleporter and be sent across the solar system. Would you?"
Person 2: "NOPE."

Second Panel: Person 2: "A person is just a more or less consistent pattern through space and time. When it gets blown up, you're dead."
Person 1: "Sure, your duplicate appears on the other side, but it's not you. To your duplicate, it’d feel like persistent experience, but you are still dead."

Third Panel: Person 1: "What if there’s a threesome on the other end?"
Person 2: "Okay, I’m in."
