If Cryogenic Sleep or some form of stasis really existed, would you do it? If so for how long?

[Aerissa_Jade]

How long would you want to go for?

A 100 years?

A 1000 years?

An amount of time way longer than that, maybe hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years?

I personally think it would be awesome to go for at least a century, barring leaving family behind, I would have to get them to do it with me.

To wake up in a hundred years to see how things have changed and maybe they'd have advanced medical knowledge to heal me.

Then again, maybe I'd wake up to a zombie mutant radioactive wasteland where human life is extinct too... one never knows.

Yes - I would do it.

No - I would not do it

[CrazyGirl2]

This is such a fantastic question, it’s kinda like the ultimate gamble! On one hand humanity may have solved poverty, homelessness, war, famine, and disease, but on the other hand, things may have gotten much worse! I dont know, it would be a very difficult decision. I suppose my family would be the deciding factor. I couldn’t imagine life without my family, so if they were going to be left behind, then no I wouldn’t do it. If, however (god forbid) something happened to them, then I would have nothing to live for here anyway. So yeah sure I’d do it, why not?

by the way, I LOVE your use of zombie mutant wasteland. When I was 15 and I told my dad I REALLY wanted a classic Jeep like the CJ-7 we first restored together, instead of a new Mercedes’ or BMW like my friends were all getting. He asked me why, and I jokingly told him “well, when the zombie apocalypse finally happens, I kinda want something that will get me the hell out of here!” We built my Jeep, and when it came back from the paint-shop, this is what I got!

My “Zombie Apocalypse” Jeep

[AmandaYVR]

If you could fast-forward your life right now, would you? Why? And by how much?

[Aerissa_Jade]

Thanks for the inspiration.

[AmandaYVR]

. 👍 .

[MCheetah]

100%, I'd do it! Not gonna say "wake me up when humanity is no longer full of idiots" cause then I'd never wake up. Instead I'd say "wake me up as soon as I can take an affordable space flight to the moon." Hell, chances are, our Idiocracy reality gets even worse in the future though, rather than the 2010s-2020s just being a temporary "Age of Stupid" worse than usual.

I have nothing keeping me here in this awful point of human history. So yeah, put me to sleep and name me John Spartan. Wake me up if you need me to kill Wesley Snipes by kicking his frozen head off.

[humanearth]

I already did this, I was born in 1832

[Aerissa_Jade]

Your age is wrong then, GAG should show you at a 190.

[humanearth]

The age would not go that far back. My birth year was not available

[andreasderjuengere]

Not interested.

My life is a series of days stringed together, and interrupted by sleep.

If that sleep is a lot longer... the result would still be the same.

And when I look at where ''the world'' is heading to, I lose interest even more.

Don't want to see that shit.

[pizzalovershouse]

Maybe if I was on the moon frozen in a under ground space station yes for at least 75 years but do you get to bring some one an if so do you have to be in separate chambers I would assume yes sense they would not want to pick off 2 people at once if machine fell apart

[jennyPuss]

until my terminal illness had been cured, with would be the reason i'd do it.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Maybe in the future it would be, a gamble.

[Guy13]

Nah, I do not want to live dead dog tired with a direct pull from my Account over 100s of years. Money will run out before Time... and who is going to open you up after self-annihilation via Nukes happens anyway?

[Th3ft]

I would definitely be tempted and I mean I might try it. But yeah I think I would only go for a hindered years or so. Old enough that no one knows me today could still be alive and see if I could make a second go at life.

[dustybiker]

Ensuring I live again just to live isn’t something I would want. I am too attached to my life, the people and things currently in it. Essentially starting over holds no interest.

[NathanDavis]

I'm glad I already had my nap...

because at this moment, you can't really trust or gamble that much on anything to be there or to happen after 30 to 40 years, lol

[dustybiker]

“Damn… 100? I hate alarm clocks that run on batteries…..”

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker lmao... those are torture devices

alarms, that is

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis I can set six and sleep through them all.

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker how I wish I could do some of that... but with my 9 senses and all

my sleep can be "disturbed" quite easily, lol

[dustybiker]

🤣 Nine, huh? Too early in my day to ask about that.

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker lmao...

[jshm2]

Nope. You've no idea what sort of condition you would suffer in.

If a caveman was to "wakeup" in New York today - he would be dead from disease with a week. The human system just cannot take the hit to that extent.

[Snsl153]

I would go under for as long as it took for all the snowflake millennials and zoomers to die out, and their malign influence upon the world to be thoroughly erased.

[jennyPuss]

you mean to say all millennials and zoomers are snowflakes, and you'd wait for them to die? or only wait until the millennials and zoomers which happen to be snowflakes die? because... you're in one of those 2 groups already.

[Snsl153]

@jennyPuss The latter. I shouldn't have been so generational specific, because I've met boomers and Gen X who were snowflake lefties as well.

[jennyPuss]

these snow flakes wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they ever ended up with some cow poo on their boots! hahaha

[Rania05]

I'll have to decline the offer.
I prefer dying naturally with my family and friends than waking up in a strange world with nothing and no one familiar.

[madgoat]

Tempting. But I'd need a reason. To wake up in 10 years, 100 years, or more. The world would be different, someone else's world, and the people you knew would be older or dead. Quite an undertaking to start again and in those conditions.

[Andres77]

I don’t trust that the world would still exist

[Aerissa_Jade]

Oh I'm sure the planet would still exist. It might be a dead lifeless hunk with no atmosphere but the rock would still be here.

[Andres77]

And who wants to wake up to that?
Would you really trust these knuckleheads to preserve life?
I’ll take what I can get now.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I just imagine waking up, pod opening up... wtf, no oxygen... and done.

[Andres77]

Bright and cheery today, no?

[menina]

Yes, I would definitely go for it. I would want to wake up in 100 years from now to see if anything changed.

[EmmaMary]

I'm really not sure if I'm brave enough to do this.

[JPresidente]

This is a great question. I think I would be too freaked out to do it. I’d be scared that someone would forget about me and I’d stay like that forever. 🤷‍♂️

[Fuentes]

Lol nah I'm tryna get rich, tf I wanna see in the future with no riches

[Aerissa_Jade]

Now see this is where you deposit all your money in a bank then hopefully go forward and have it turn into millions with interest, assuming society still exists.

The power of compounded interest.

[Fuentes]

I have a feeling bank's will go bad in the future and can only insure 250k of my dollars and since they seen it wasn't active for years they'd just go ahead and steal it all since I never claimed it haha

[bean2k21]

[KostasKouvalis]

Doesn't it already exist at least to some degree.

And I don't know if I would to be honest, that would be creepy as hell

[KostasKouvalis]

Creepy and shocking waking up in an unfamiliar world.

[Jennz6]

I don’t think that I would do it, life would probably be worse than now

[TallAnon]

Maybe if my entire family was dead, but otherwise I wouldn't want to miss out on the time I could spend with them.

[Deathraider]

If I was dying, I’d do it in hopes of a cure in the future.

[Cubus]

Only if we were to travel on a different planet that is thousand of years away

[Guardian45]

I would do it if ALL my family & friends were dead. I'm almost there.

[Guardian45]

100 years minimum

[Zolly99999]

I don't think I would.. I'm enjoying life now..

[Rangers]

I wouldn't want to go forward in time, the world has only gotten worse for the past 2 thousand years until USA came along but now it's being ruined as well

[B4852]

I have no idea if I would. I suppose it would depend on the situation.

[TroyDT]

Or maybe in 100 years the planet will have been conquered by a race that enslaves and eats humans.

[exitseven]

I just want to get to 2024.

[MCheetah]

Biden, term II.

[exitseven]

@MCheetah oh god no.

[MCheetah]

@exitseven
Better hope they don't rig the election again, then.

[ArtemisSilver]

I'd use it to live a thousand perfect autumns.

[clampfan101]

Only if it was proven 100% safe.

[9inchestrong]

Why not? Could be cool.

[Charliefretz329]

No, too much to enjoy in current time period…

[RandomGuy1030]

I would not do this, mrs beauty and brains

[H8INCHES]

Only of I could go back in time

[TheMajesticKing777]

A good while no lie
