Anything that happens, happens.

Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.

Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.

It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

I made a bagel. And put everything on it.

I just happen to currently be reading On The Plurality Of Worlds by David Lewis.

The universe seems to be as far as we know now physically infinite and homogeneous. That means all possible arrangements of matter exits.

There's a couple assumptions being made here that allow for this hypothesis to be possible. We do not know if the universe is actually infinite, it's just a possibility based on what we can currently observe (around 93 billion light years). Even if something is incalculably large, it's still miniscule compared to the infinite that this hypothesis requires.

Secondly the universe is only homogeneous at a very large scale. The universe at a local scale is very diverse in its make-up, it's only homogeneous at a scale of hundreds of millions of light years.

If we disregard these assumptions is it possible that there are near copies of our perceived realities in other places in the universe, maybe......but is it likely?

CMBR isn't homogenous though within our bubble, how can we assume the universe beyond our horizon is the same. We are but fish in a pond

That depends on whether or not there was an infinite amount of energy in the Big Bang. Lacking that, you can't have infinite matter (i.e. infinite copies and possible configurations) even if you have infinite space to put it in.

I don't understand what you're saying but I believe you

Some options I know of:

• The Forgotten City
• Deathloop
• Stuck in Time

Slay the Princess kind of goes in that direction.

Undertale is this but it's not focused on too heavily unless you play multiple routes.

Deltarune I think (I haven't played it myself) has this kind of plot with the protagonist having an antagonist relationship to the player controlling them, but it's more focused on player-made choices instead of save mechanics.

I would also like to nominate In Stars and Time, which is about timeloops and is very meta but not in the fourth wall breaking way.

Not a game, but I remember a choose your own adventure style video series on YouTube where if you choose some early bad ends, the main character will start acting more and more reluctant to follow your choices.

Re:Zero kinda has this plot

I think when a cat almost trips you they get to see your multiverse selves go tumbling and crumbling down the stairs.

Explains why cats are so smug too.

Thanks, but theres really nothing to be done about it short of rebuilding both flights entirely, and I’m not even sure that would fix them. The problem is the way they are built; the stairs to the second floor turn a corner, and the triangular stairs in said corner narrow to the point on the inside corner that it drops immediately 3 stairs down if you miss-step, and the miss-step is like a third of the stair. Incredibly dangerous, and I hold the rails for dear life every time.

The back stairs from the addition just aren’t even. They all have different rise because they needed to meet into three already-existing floors - main floor, back door at ground level, and basement floor, and they had to turn 3 corners to do that. I’ve tried to math out a way to make them even and I can’t. I’ll still have substantial differences between sections.

It’s a very old house full of very bad choices that can’t really be fixed without major overhaul. I’ll probably hire someone at some point to see if they can fix it, if I can ever afford that, but I’ll probably bite it on the stairs well before that happens :) I'm planning to paint the quarter rounds with glow pigment to help delineate the stairs in the dark, and add some glowing non-slip tape to the bullnose, but thats about the best I’ve got, and it won’t really help that much.

Nah, I just have this nasty soy sauce that constantly leads to weird out of body experiences.

Yeah I went on a bender in Mexico like 10 years ago and ended a bunch of timelines. My bad.

I’m an Orc from Warcraft II who keeps getting clicked on until I become self aware and yell “Stop poking me!”

Unfortunately the devs didn't have the budget to add multiple save slots. Your old save is long gone.

Sorry, that's not an option but if you install the buddhism dlc then you can respawn with new specs. But don't kill yourself to re-spec because I'm pretty sure you get significant de-buffs for doing so. Your best bet would be to just wander into a pvp zone and hope for the best.

I've been more careful in the shower lately, especially since ours is all stone tile. It's got good traction, but I keep wondering what happens when people fall in showers--whether it's usually a traction thing, or whether it's significantly an orientation thing (due to temperature change, scalp massaging , head angle, etc. affecting blood pressure and equilibrium...).

Every time I saw a roadway accident in bad weather, I thought of it like something that wasn't going to happen to me, until I had my own moment and realized my traction on fresh rainfall wasn't what I thought it was.

Showers seem like the next "oh, that can happen to me" thing.

Calm down, Jeffery.

There's no evidence for the Copenhagen interpretation either, it's just the most conservative.

Did you respond to the wrong comment

Like when I before e except after c was correct except it never was and entire generations grew up spelling words incorrectly
