Peter Frost David is currently writing the sequel to "If you're armed and at the Glenmont metro, please shoot me." When it's done, we will learn about terrifying new uses for the mind-enhancing drug, and learn about the phenomenon of Second Death. Read more from Peter Frost David on his website: www.anewkindofmonster.com/ Second Death? What's that, you say?

The most realistic part of this story is this guy living for ten thousand years and still recalling how much of a slog it was to read 30 chapters of Moby Dick.

Never read Moby Dick, but I imagine reading the complete works of Lovecraft compiled into one book _(a bit over a thousand pages - wouldn't have been so bad if the font hadn't been tiny and the editor had possessed any apparent idea of how to cleanly break up paragraphs)_ in slow-mo would be similarly hellish.

If the classics bore you just stop being pretentious and go back to watching whatever you actually enjoy. If you took a class that required it and it was a slog don't work in an industry where English comp and writing are a requirement. An eight year old who genuinely enjoys reading can enjoy Moby Dick. You can't, thats fine, just don't take a job you don't belong in.

I always though that was a weird expression, I mean If you suddenly gained the ability to move faster than light there is a hell of a lot of light dispersed through the universe already right? So depending on the exact speed you're going at you'd have to go for potentially billions of years to escape its reach entirely, or go somewhere where there already wasn't light which is just as possible going at normal human speed

I like how one mistake made his problem go from manageable to dire. I was sitting here and I had to hold myself when the protagonist decided "Ah yes, let me take Ambien to help me sleep this experimental drug off.". Time was already really slow for him too, so he had time to really consider the repercussions of just how dangerous that would be. Ideally you could spend time getting used to the effects as they were, browse articles online or at worst break into a library. And imagine the feeling of just writing out your story one letter every couple of weeks.

Before COVID threw a wrench into everything, I often commuted on the Metro system that Glenmont is part of (Washington DC's WMATA). That's quite a good recreation of the train platform.

I feel like this story is a deconstruction of having super speed. When someone thinks about having super speed as a superpower, they don't think about what would happen realistically. Sure, you can move and think fast, but if you have only one or the other, you're screwed. If you have a quick mind but a slow body, you'll feel like a prison in your own body as your mind goes into overdrive while you move like a turtle, like our poor protagonist in the video. Things would be even worse if a person had only fast movement but a regular mind. You can move like The Flash, great. However, your mind won't process how fast you're going. A person would be running into walls or crashing into houses if they took a couple steps, or worse, they could end up across the country.

[@0_dearghealach_083]

That reminds me of a story in the comic "Flinch"- in issue 16, "A Temporary Life". A guy takes place in a science experiment with an enzyme, and he can go super fast. So, he cleans his whole apartment, and it takes just five minutes. But, then it takes longer for time to pass. He tries speaking with his girlfriend at the laboratory, but he's too fast to be seen, just a blur, like the Flash. He has to sit for hours, and write down notes to talk to her, but she's slow- he's stuck in the speed. Then he grows old and is dying. She tries to run away, she's scared, so he bites her ankle. She freaks, kicks him, and he dies at last. She tries to get out of the lab with a scan-card, but it's too fast. Now she's been given the super-speed enzyme. Jus reminds me of that.

[@loomingdeath1758]

True but thats why to compensate for a fast mind the body must be fast. Yet in this story this could be like a what if flash powers were super speed but the perception around him vs people were insanly different with no turn off. That in itself would be more horrifying than one could ever imagine. A hell in the making and a fate worse than death.

[@libertyprime1614]

Fortunately, perception of time and thinking speed aren't exactly the same, meaning in theory you can have accelerated thinking but not get bored faster. Our perception of time is an evolutionary mechanism to prevent us from wasting time. This is why during activities that our brain wants us to do, we feel like time goes faster, all because the brain wants us to keep doing it. If we ever want to develop the superfast thinking, we should keep it in mind and make necessary adjustments. Unfortunately for this guy, he is in the worst case scenario, every thought is accelerated and somehow even though his brain can x 1 000 000 + times of regular brain work this doesn't cause: 1. build up of brain waste products. (which suppose to be direct result of work done by brain, not just the time passed) 2. depletion of energy resources. (again, work requires energy) 3. Inability to feel pleasure and suffering the boredom included. (they are the direct result of hormones that need to be secreted, delivered and interact with receptors in the brain, which will take time, and that means they all will be extremely diluted. As soon as one molecule of dopamine, cortisol, serotonin, etc, it will be already processed and for this hyper accelerated brain it may take hours, to thousands years till the next molecule) 4. alteration in the brain structure to the point of losing its function. (brain structure physically changes even during the span of one human life. As we acquire skills and memories, we created new brain cells and connections between them. This man seems to be creating new memories and doesn't even lose his old ones, which would make his brain grow and change far beyond function and possible wouldn't even fit in the skull) It seems like the entire universe is against this poor fella, bending and changing its laws to accommodate this man's suffering, maybe that scientist was the Devil himself. 🤷‍♂

​@@FolstrimHoriwhat makes you say that?

[@FolstrimHori]

@datboi1861 besides the fact that this concept has been done before, its internal logic is inconsistent. The brain is what controls the body; so if the brain is fast, so would the body (potentially to his detriment). He states that everything including his body is moving slowly, implying that the only thing that's being accelerated is his mind; yet his superhuman reflexes imply otherwise. Not to mention if there were "input lag" between his thoughts and movements, it would make physical activity incredibly difficult and clumsy. So which way is it author? Accelerated thought processing, or complete bodily acceleration? What's annoying is that the writer suddenly remembers halfway through that input lag would make movement incredibly difficult, and changes his writing accordingly.

Holy hell this story somehow recreated my worst nightmare, I remember over a decade ago, I had a nightmare erriely similar to this one. It's an out of body experience, the environment around me frozen in time whilst my own body is stuck inside a container, eyes closed but aware and the nightmare feels like it lasts forever, enhancing the already horrifying experience. Eversince that day, atleast once a year I get that nightmare and it's a horrible experience, dry mouth, sweating, cramps all over my body, my heartbeat overloading, body heat at an all time high. I hate it and it's always the same one too, if not then a very similar nightmare. Oh good lord, I just finished watching the entire thing and my heartbeat is faster than before I started watching. Great job to the writer and animator, now everyone can experience my nightmare.

That is indeed an awful nightmare. This concept is rarely explored in media from what I know, but when it is, it always manages to disturb me more than almost anything else; can't imagine going through it myself.

[@kingminos587]

races season 2?

[@beansworth5694]

I've had nightmares similar to this, but funnily enough I've never fully lost bodily autonomy during them. I can change my perception of what's happening in a dream at will, and usually I end up doing it on accident (which often makes me realize I'm dreaming, because real life doesn't work in that sort of jarring way, lol)- this is to say that even when I'm stuck somewhere in a dream it is always shifting around and I'm never... bored. I've had dreams about being in a 'hell' of sorts, a repeating cycle of pain and torment that has different events each time, but I'm always in control of my body for the most part throughout them, save for injuries accumulated and whatnot. Nightmares only truly suck when they poke at my social anxieties, I lose basically all of my ability to direct the flow of the dream when that happens. I get stuck, usually in a single reality, that spirals into ever increasingly terrifying real-life(ish) nightmare scenarios until something freaks me out enough to wake me up when that sort of thing is the dream I'm dealt to try to manage. This story reminds me of trying to fall asleep when I was younger, though... intense physical irritation, crawling skin and imperfect temperatures and whatnot making the whole thing miserable, and the digital clock flipping through numbers waaay too slowly before I either lose consciousness or give up and get out of bed to ask to stay up more. Luckily now that I'm an adult I don't have to worry about being scolded if I'm pacing around at midnight or something since I know how to be quiet, but trying to fall asleep on a night where my ASD is acting up and giving me uncomfortable phantom senses is still a hell much worse than anything my nightmares can throw at me. Idk, I feel like my neurodivergence has set me on a course to be... unable to be afraid of death. I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one as long as it's not anything like trying to fall asleep on a bad sensory night when you're too young to be allowed to get up whenever you please I feel like I can take it.

And props to the original person behind the story as well! Also, while watching the video, I started wondering. If nobody ended up shooting him, I wonder how much longer he would have had to experience the effects, from his point of view, of both the drug and the Ambien combined? Like, he said that by the time he got to that Bench at the Subway station, that simply blinking his eyes felt like multiple life-times. So that makes me wonder, how many more life-times he would have experienced while the drug and Ambien were still in effect?

[@braiden2]

the Hog Rider is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Builder's Workshop (Arena 5). He is a quick building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy When he is jumping over the river, he cannot be targeted by any ground attacking units. The Log and Earthquake will fail to damage a Hog Rider while he is jumping. Air troops can still attack him though, and the Inferno Tower and Inferno Dragon will continue to ramp up their damage. When countering Hog Riders, obviously use buildings. But be wary as it the offender would usually play around it with cards such as Earthquake. Air swarms such as Minion Horde can help due to the Hog's usual support tools not countering them. On the offender's side, a powerful move is to accompany him with an Earthquake, obliterating almost every building, and also grounded swarms. To a lesser extent, Lightning could also be used, retaining the same point of almost destroying every building while also crippling troops such as the Wizard or the Hunter. The Log could also be an effective first play as a cycle, but it only kills swarms and sometimes a non-center-placed Tombstone. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the defender will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, the offender should use a spell like Arrows to render the defender poetically defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, as the Mini P.E.K.K.A cannot handle swarms. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. A Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Use another card to counter the Hog Rider if it is necessary. His fast movement speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. However, the Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path, due to his inability to target troops. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though they are vulnerable to spells. Swarm cards like Skeleton Army, Goblin Gang, and Minion Horde can also very easily counter him. Use this to your advantage by placing a bulky swarm killer in front of the Hog Rider (eg. Ice Golem, Valkyrie) so that the Hog Rider can transport the troop to the tower faster and also get protection from swarms in return Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up small spell. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. It is obviously not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective.
