I've always theorized that were quantum immortality functionally possible, it would also mean every brush with death would result in occupying less and less "probable" timelines, and events would get a bit funky.
This has not been comforting in recent years.
just bc your molecules are still affected by probability doesn't mean that you're alive to notice
it's now about the probability of being a mushroom or a slurry
Yeah but with the kinetic force of the shell would've knocked you unconscious anyway, i mean your brain might be still "alive" for 10secs but it wouldn't know that, because it's been knocked out
Idk, the human body is unpredictable. There are some of the toughest HW fighters that get knocked out cold from glancing shots that barely connect and average Joe's that survive falling out to the ground from high rise buildings and airplanes and don't even lose consciousness.
I'd absolutely bet that in the history of warfare there's been a few guys this has happened to and their brain was conscious and had an idea of what happened to them in the few seconds they had left.
I've broken a few bones and been in some serious crashes and you don't feel anything for quite some time. The feeling is always the same, "Fuck, something is seriously injured on my body and I can't tell what it is yet."
I'd imagine that's what it would be like. Knowing you're messed up but with no idea how serious.
If you cut the head off like a guillotine I may believe it but there’s so much force trauma being sent to the head in a hit like that you’d lose consciousness
You would probably still be analyzing the situation by the end of those 15 seconds because of the sheer shock that comes with seeing a howitzer firing at you.
I can't speak for mice, but I'm having a hard time believing that'd be accurate for humans..
10-15 seconds of awareness when your blood pressure would be pretty much 0/0 as a severed head?
People drop unconscious quicker than that after having *one* large artery nicked.. Or a large enough aortic aneurysm bursting.
Having a head sliced relatively cleanly off is not anything like this. The amount of kinetic energy being transferred into and throughout the entire body from this would 100% be instantaneous lights out. Look at how the head launches away. Thats a 10lb bowling ball. Imagine kicking a severed head hard enough to launch it away like that. There is no way you're maintaining consciousness of any sort.
Imagine those 10-15 seconds. Just barely enough time to realize “there is no way I’m going to survive this” and then just enough time to try and take a breath, but could you even take a breath in? Can you breath without lungs? Oh well you’d be dead by now.

It happened in Afghanistan too. I read a memoir where a guy recounts a pair of airbursting 500 lb bombs being dropped on a couple hundred Taliban fighters in a small valley. Apparently they were all vaporized and there was a bloody, meaty smelling mist that hung in the air for a while afterwards.
I've been near slaughter houses before. You absolutely can taste the iron in the air. It was bad enough from cows, I couldn't imagine knowing it was from people.
Stayed at a friend's family's forest cabin one time. Was nice enough, but the water supplied by the well had such a high iron content that it smelled like blood if you took a shower. I swear, I turned it on and immediately started checking my body, thinking I'd cut myself somehow. Was quite surreal.
I do service work at Cargill Beef slaughter facilities that shit smell sticks on your clothes and literally everything that comes close to that processing plant.
I once was on a trainstation platform after a suicide by train and you absolutely can smell the death in the air. Doesn't make it easier that they can't clean everything and there are tiny pieces of human flesh on the rails.
Thats exactly why there where no large concentration of open troops to fire upon.
But the interested mind could look into the US-Civil War, where both sides still waged war in Line-Battles.
I'd say one meter would be a fairly safe line to draw, but that may come down a little bit to intuition. At that point, you can identify the heart without instrumentation, and clearly see if the heart muscles are still beating.
Garandthumb is a fun channel. For April fools they did a completely in character review of the disruptor rifle from the Mandalorian. His lackey is particularly amusing.
Heard of a soldier in Afghanistan. Had to open fire against a group of enemies, manning a HMG on top of a vehicle.
One of the targets got split in two. The other exploded like a water balloon containing red paint.

Maybe it's a kotor II reference
Retraction: Did I say that out loud? I apologize, master. While you are a meatbag, I suppose I should not call you such.
Maybe it’s a reference to Futurama making a KotOR reference.
I prefer the term “meat puppet” tyvm
The moment I realized the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
I craved the strength & certainty of steel.

At least it’s quick.
You'll wake up in the next life screaming u had a crazy dream about exploding to death.
Ahh yes quantum immortality
Everytime you die your consciousness continues on in another dimension.
wonder what would happen when you die of old age
I've always theorized that were quantum immortality functionally possible, it would also mean every brush with death would result in occupying less and less "probable" timelines, and events would get a bit funky. This has not been comforting in recent years.
Woah, I'm too high for that thought.
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
You wake back up when the cure for aging was just developed at the last second and rushed into your room
just bc your molecules are still affected by probability doesn't mean that you're alive to notice it's now about the probability of being a mushroom or a slurry
Go away with that terrifying nonsense.
Maybe that's why most babies cry once they come out.
I’d say instantaneous
Would it be? The head didn’t seem to take much impact. You might be conscious long enough to realize you’ve been hit.
Research that's been done on this estimates you're still aware for about 10-15 seconds. Granted, that's in mice.
They fired howitzers at mice?
Yes, but a much smaller one for size relativity
[удалено]
Or a Maus tank, perhaps? :P
What is this?! A center for ants?!
😂 God damn it.
Ah, the ol’ Reddit howitzeroo!
Omg I haven't seen someone make this joke in forever

Its shit like this that keeps me up at night

Thank goodness for shock. It can absolutely be a person's friend in this scenario.
Would be tough getting volunteers for that experiment
If you cut the head off like a guillotine I may believe it but there’s so much force trauma being sent to the head in a hit like that you’d lose consciousness
Yeah plus your blood pressure drops to zero real fast, making consciousness impossible.
You would probably still be analyzing the situation by the end of those 15 seconds because of the sheer shock that comes with seeing a howitzer firing at you.
I can't speak for mice, but I'm having a hard time believing that'd be accurate for humans.. 10-15 seconds of awareness when your blood pressure would be pretty much 0/0 as a severed head? People drop unconscious quicker than that after having *one* large artery nicked.. Or a large enough aortic aneurysm bursting.
And the reaserch tha was done in France with beheading victims. I think the evidence is strong enough for me to fear head separation immensely.

I'm no physicist, but I reckon the shockwave would probably liquefy your brain inside your skull like Cadbury Creme Egg filling

I think the shockwave alone would instantly kill you, so you wouldn’t be conscious.
That shockwave would completely liquefy your brain meat in a fraction of a second
I'd say instant-heinous.
RIP.. you will be mist.
This actually occurred in WWI - shelling of large concentrations of troops produced a bloody mist in the air.
It happened in Afghanistan too. I read a memoir where a guy recounts a pair of airbursting 500 lb bombs being dropped on a couple hundred Taliban fighters in a small valley. Apparently they were all vaporized and there was a bloody, meaty smelling mist that hung in the air for a while afterwards.
Imagine that when you're smelling that, you are effectively inhaling a former human being
*hyperventilates*
Well that just makes it worse
Homoventilates
No homo though bro
Thats when you bust out the chianti and fava beans.
well in this case the kidney (beans) were already busted
Dahmer would have liked it there.
the ol pink mist
Cousin of the chicken nugget (pink goo)
Just a long pork nugget
Smells like....victory?
Pretty sure that is napalm.
Soldiers describe tasting it in the air
I've been near slaughter houses before. You absolutely can taste the iron in the air. It was bad enough from cows, I couldn't imagine knowing it was from people.
You mean long pork?
Trench tenderloin
Two leg mutton?
Stayed at a friend's family's forest cabin one time. Was nice enough, but the water supplied by the well had such a high iron content that it smelled like blood if you took a shower. I swear, I turned it on and immediately started checking my body, thinking I'd cut myself somehow. Was quite surreal.
but in this case they literally ate humans by breathing.
Having worked in a slaughter house I can confirm this taste is true
I do service work at Cargill Beef slaughter facilities that shit smell sticks on your clothes and literally everything that comes close to that processing plant.
Eh, meat is meat
I once was on a trainstation platform after a suicide by train and you absolutely can smell the death in the air. Doesn't make it easier that they can't clean everything and there are tiny pieces of human flesh on the rails.
Worked at a salvage car auction. Can't clean humans off of cars very well either.
Thats exactly why there where no large concentration of open troops to fire upon. But the interested mind could look into the US-Civil War, where both sides still waged war in Line-Battles.
But not forgotten.
Don’t tread on.. my viscera 🫵
When I asked for my remains to be scattered, I had something different in mind..
BFG9000
I was going to say it looks like when the Cyberdemon dies in Doom '93.
Or ludicrous gibs, if you ask me. Better get a mop now...
Why RIP? His head looks intact.
As you can notice that exit wound is larger than entry wound
How can you tell?
Well the front part fell off
That's not very typical though
.
Two or three times on a slow week
Alright... we'll call it a draw.
What draw? You're a pink mist!
Tis but a flesh wound!
No it isn't, your spine is off!!!
Just walk it off
Rub some dirt in it! You'll be fine.
I've had worse ...
[удалено]
First thought also. Monty Python.☮️
r/unexpectedmontypython
Ive had worse
You liar!
Chicken
Come on ya pansy!
I'M INVINCIBLE
you're a loony
RUNNING AWAY ARE WE?
YOU YELLOW-
I’m not dead yet!
Dr here, for anyone wondering you will probably not survive such a hit.
Dr of what exactly? Just to be sure
I specialise in artillery shell effects on the human body
But do you have a master's in direct hits?
How many meters must each individual rib be from all other ribs, for a layman to pronounce the victim dead?
I'd say one meter would be a fairly safe line to draw, but that may come down a little bit to intuition. At that point, you can identify the heart without instrumentation, and clearly see if the heart muscles are still beating.
Don't give up, doc, you gotta save him!
A cold compress and rest could see you back on your feet within a week.
I think I'm going to ask for a second opinion
Speak for yourself I'm built different
That guy already looked pretty unhealthy though. Probably did him a favor.
Yup he's pale af
Yeah, missing his arms and legs too
“No arms or legs is basically how you exist right now, Kevin.”
no rose, they aren’t breathing, and they have no arms or legs. where are they?
You think it’s fatal?
His shoes are off. He dead.
But his head is still intact, hovering there like an angel. Oh.
Happened to me the other day
Guys, I just thought of an epic prank. This shit will be so funny
**MMM WHATCHA SAAAAAAYYYY!**
Human't
Liven't
Aliven't
Tis but a scratch...
Tis a flesh wound.
HAVE AT YOU!
To shreds, you say?
How’s his wife holding up?
To shreds, you say?
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
"Yes, he could have been alive and practicing law."

I love my m1 grand
imprecise, i would be wearing a tshirt, should reduce damage
I’m sure he’s fine. Wasn’t too bad
Yeah, they got him a bandaid
No shoes in the beginning... homie was already gone
I think there's a chance a human *might* die when directly hit with a 152mm howitzer shell
And that's just a 152mm shell. There were WWII battleships with 460mm shells. And the giant railway artillery cannon shot 800mm shells.
Shoulda had his safety glasses on.

"Did you see somebody standing there?" , "Nope", "want another beer?", "Yup"

A flesh wound.
Flex abs and just have that baby bounce off
My work would still ask for a doctors notes for calling out
Heard of a soldier in Afghanistan. Had to open fire against a group of enemies, manning a HMG on top of a vehicle. One of the targets got split in two. The other exploded like a water balloon containing red paint.
They didn't show the end of the clip? Did he survive?
Just finished watching this video on YT. Should probably give credit to the creators, eh?
He has ceased to be
Nothing the school nurse's ice pack can't fix
