Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is fantastic. Was not expecting the punchline.

Young me would have missed the personal interaction. Older, less hormonally-motivated me would be fine if the accommodations were nice, reasonably large, and contained a good, Linux-based, powerful computer, a copy of the entire Library of Congress archives, and deep clones of Github and Sourcehut. A decent, fast, current generation AI setup would go a long way to filling any gaps. I think I could probably live for several decades - maybe centuries - left to my own devices. Until the literature and media ran out.

I'd like to be able to work with AI systems to generate movies from my favorite sci-fi books. Just, throw literature at it, give it some direction, tweak the output, have a ton of dedicated processing power and a lot of free time, and no copyrights to worry about.

Man, I easily completely forget shit from 10 or 20 years ago, I bet if you just keep creating you could entertain yourself for a lot longer!

Give me all the Toy Story Films, plus a 2 week amnesiac pill every 2 weeks. I'll be fine

I would love you and others to find and watch this classic episode of the Twilight Zone: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last My guts tell me there'd always be something missing like that.

I had thoughts of landing in a solitary confinement. Having media, tools, manuals and even internet at hand would make it pretty bearable, but I'd still probe the question of waking up another clone to have a company. Being there with their asses in a cryogenic sleep for decades would make me think about it thousands of times and it'd be really hard not to question the guidelines and test this opportunity.

For my trip I'll take this fine list above, plus a copy of all of the legal ethically made pornography.

Ten lines of text would cover all your AI-generated porn needs
