    There’s an even worse Black Mirror where they put a guy into a simulation running at 1000 years per minute. He is trapped in this one room with a radio playing “I wish it could be christmas every day”. They dial it up to 1000 years per minute before leaving the office to go celebrate christmas. I worked it out before, but I think the guy spends in the order of 50 million subjective years trapped in this kitchen with that song playing. Absolute horror.

      it’s even worse i think he’s just a fully sapient digital brain scan copy of a suspected criminal. so not considered human at all

      so he can’t commit suicide, go into shock, or shut down. just fully conscious 100% balls to the walls no sleep no shut down full jacked to the gills awareness for 50 million years with 1000s of decibels of sound blasting you that you can’t escape but also won’t physically damage you because you have no physical body

      the worst kind of hell i can imagine like something from the Culture series

      oh and it was cops torturing this living being for fun
