Can they just sort out the housing price and cost of living so we’re not forced to break the law to survive and get their thousand year sentence? Or nah?
I don’t think you understand how the system works.
I know it’s a shitpost, but the idea behind something like this is counter to the point of rehabilitation. Civilization should move towards rehabilitation instead of punishment as the idea is that you want to integrate someone back into society. I am not sure inducing trauma and mental damage is conducive to rehabilitation.
Technology like this could actually be used to help the rehabilitation process by dilating time, and allowing the offender to be rehabilitated without actually wasting much of their actual life.
It would most likely be used for harsh punishment in this universe, but its nice to imagine living in a better one, sometimes.
Soo… since OP is a jackass, here’s the link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10697529/Prisoners-could-serve-1000-year-sentence-in-eight-hours.html
The gist (emphasis mine):
Philosopher Rebecca Roache […] said, […] “you could imagine developing a pill or a liquid that made someone feel like they were serving a 1,000-year sentence”
I can’t fathom why this is report-worthy. Was April 2014 such a boring month?
I wouldn’t call OP a jackass for not providing the source for a shitpost.
providing source is good form in every context
source:
- Careful citation practices will build your credibility as a scientist or scholar.

Sure, the source would have been nice. They’re not a jackass for not providing it though. Do you send the source every time you show a friend a meme?
Yes, I do. In this case I think it’s vital to link to the source, since the meme make it look like this garbage was a real thing.
Maybe they didn’t have the source. Again, we’re on the shitpost community. I think it’s unreasonable to call someone a jackass because they don’t research the sources for every meme that they find and shitpost. Especially when they’re a power-user like OP and post 30-some times a day.
