Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

    Depending on how consciousness actually works, the you before that might have died and you’re an entirely new consciousness with the same brain and memories.

      I’ve thought about death and what it means a lot in recent months.

      As we go to sleep every night, how do we know the you who wakes up the next morning is still you?

        While sleeping brain activity retains a natural patern and flow, no point in worrying about that since sleep is absolutely a necessity (and I love it). Anesthesia disrupts this brain activity and interrupts your mental existence.
