Let’s say you found out you’re a Replicant from Blade Runner. Most of you memories are fake and you only live 4 years. What do you do?

    I don’t know why this knowledge would really change anything. The memories are still real to me and my age isn’t really relevant beyond legalistic stuff

    I would give myself a crazy haircut, put on a bunch of loud make up, and spend most of my time leveling up my acrobatics skill in a crusty old mansion filled with toys.

    Forgive me for commenting completely off topic, but I’ve scrolled past this post in my feed 4 different times today and every time I’ve read it as “what would you do if you found out you were a Republican?” and started laughing before rereading it correctly.

    I’m not even trying to make a political statement, it’s just the absurdity of it, it would be just as funny to me if you insert any other political party.

    I don’t see why I should care. It did me no harm when I didn’t know, and the only thing that would have changed is that now I know.

    Ooh, used to think about this so much!

    If your reality up to now was fabricated, sure that’s great to know that for decisions going forward but there’s not really a lot you can do about it in the present-tense. Except maybe laugh at whoever made my backstory, seriously: cringe. What an idiot.

    You know what’s not fabricated? The way I feel for people I’m close to and pets I take care of. That’s kind of all that matters

    Anyone who designed my existence for the sake of feeding it into my head has something seriously wrong with them, and not just because they wasted a huge amount of time.

    But I would like to know when my four years is going to be up.
