Comic #5011: teleporter
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:
Panel 1: A character with short hair is standing at a futuristic console, welcoming another character. The background depicts a Martian landscape with domes and structures.
- Character 1: “Welcome to Mars!”
- Character 2: “Wow! That was fast!”
Panel 2: The first character explains the teleportation process, gesturing towards the second character.
- Character 1: “That’s teleportation for ya! We converted your consciousness to a bitstring and sent it over at the speed of light.”
Panel 3: The second character contemplates the bandwidth needed for this process. The first character responds confidently.
- Character 2: “It must take a lot of bandwidth to send a whole consciousness.”
- Character 1: “Nah. Not usually.”
Panel 4: The first character elaborates further on the compression of human experiences.
- Character 1: “Most human lives are susceptible to serious compression.”
Panel 5: The first character continues explaining with a specific example, as the second character listens attentively.
- Character 1: “For instance, we losslessly eliminated a full 10% of your lived experience by replacing it with a generic marker for 'worrying about imagined medical problems.'”
Panel 6: The scene continues with an additional comment from the second character.
- Character 2: “Oh sure, occasionally we get wild geniuses or adventurers, and it takes forever to copy their unique experiences. But, that’s rare.”
Panel 7: The first character comments on the compression process again.
- Character 1: “Compressing your mind… Well, let’s say it’s like converting the French flag to a GIF.”
Panel 8: The second character asks a question while looking eager.
- Character 2: “Can I just go to Disneyland Mars now, please?”
This comic humorously presents a futuristic concept of consciousness transfer and compression in a light-hearted way.
