Something Different

So, Rod-Man (aka MCA for this particular post) and I got to talking about some pretty interesting stuff. About halfway through I had the idea to post our conversation on Chyeah!, he agreed so here we are. This is the first time we've done a post like this on Chyeah!. Enjoy...?

Tômas: i wonder how different things would be if we didn't have to sleep

Tômas: we'd probably have rocket cars

MCA: hmm

MCA: a third more time

Tômas: indeed

Tômas: that would put us 670 years ahead

Tômas: i think

MCA: I think it's best not to think of these things

MCA: all the time wasted

Tômas: yea, maybe not

MCA: idk if I could be up all the time

MCA: everything would be different

Tômas: maybe if we were already used to it

Tômas: like, it's just the way people are

MCA: it wouldn't be a problem

MCA: but tv for instance would always have to be on

MCA: new shows all times of day

MCA: no throw away hours

Tômas: nope

MCA: what might we be doing right now?

Tômas: who knows if they would extend school hours or not

Tômas: if so, we could get through it faster

Tômas: and most people we know would be out of college already

MCA: idk

MCA: maybe they'd teach us more

MCA: since there is so much time

Tômas: you're probably right

Tômas: there would be more stuff to learn since people are up all the time discovering shit

Tômas: and more history would have happened

MCA: this kinda shit mindfucks people

Tômas: i guess we'd never be tired

Tômas: so it would be easy to go places like school

MCA: we'd have to have way more energy

MCA: and some means of replenishing it

Tômas: we might need to eat more often

Tômas: like, 8 meals a day

MCA: which means food disappears faster

Tômas: but with all this extra time we might be able to solve the food crisis that would inevitably develope

MCA: it's like a paradox

Tômas: we need a what if machine

Tômas: like that thing they use in futurama

MCA: if we never needed sleep then we might have one

Tômas: shit

MCA: they achieve it by the year 3000 with sleep

MCA: without it I don't see why we can't have it now

Tômas: not to mention how unproductive people are in the morning due to tired

Tômas: so no tired means even more work gets done

Tômas: that puts us at least some years more ahead

MCA: would we have ever developed coffee?

MCA: or soda

Tômas: hmm

MCA: energy drinks?

Tômas: probably soda, since no one drinks that to get energy

Tômas: they just drink it because it's good

MCA: true

Tômas: but maybe not those other two

Tômas: we obviously wouldn't miss them though

MCA: we sure as hell wouldn't have 5 hour energy

MCA: what's 5 hours gonna do if you're always awake.

Tômas: i can live in a world without five hour energy

Tômas: their commercials are annoying

MCA: true

Tômas: i srsly dongivafuck that monster has 12 tsps of sugar

MCA: lol

MCA: shit man

MCA: no beds

Tômas: probably couches though

MCA: where would people primarily have sex?

Tômas: just because we don't need sleep, i'm sure our legs will still get tired

Tômas: maybe beds would be invented then

MCA: sex pads

Tômas: that's probably what they'll be called

Tômas: when would kids watch porn then?

MCA: hell if I know

Tômas: this changes more than we originally thought

MCA: I guess when they didn't have school.

Tômas: i guess our parents would be working more

Tômas: but we'd also be going to school more

MCA: parents could work however many hours they want

Tômas: damn

Tômas: they ould

MCA: unless the job prevented

Tômas: could*

MCA: but they could just work many jobs

MCA: as long as they keep eating

Tômas: yea, why not

MCA: would food be more or less expensive?

Tômas: less

Tômas: remember we solved that crisis

MCA: so it's free?

Tômas: maybe at first

Tômas: but eventually i'm sure they'll find a way to make us pay

MCA: maybe for high energy food

MCA: like apples

MCA: which apparently are good to eat for breakfast

MCA: in our time

Tômas: along with cereal, orange juice, and some toast

Tômas: 'cause you know, complete breakfast according to commercials

MCA: right

MCA: I don't think it would matter when you ate what though

MCA: in no sleep time

Tômas: yea, i guess not

Tômas: there wouldn't be breakfast foods

Tômas: there would just be food

MCA: indeed

Tômas: which means no brinner

MCA: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Tômas: srs

MCA: no dreams

MCA: daydreams maybe but they're nowhere near as hxc

Tômas: nope

Tômas: but we wouldn't know any better

MCA: how many things have "come to someone in a dream" though?

Tômas: shit

MCA: the entertainment business might be far less extensive

Tômas: that's no good

MCA: like you said, we wouldn't know

Tômas: so video games could be highly advanced

Tômas: but with shit stories

MCA: exactly

MCA: I was going to say it'd be like Halo but Halo isn't advanced.

MCA: all games would be like... Gears?

Tômas: maybe not even

Tômas: who knows if we would even have ideas about aliens

Tômas: don't most people get "abducted" when they're sleeping anyway?

MCA: I think so

Tômas: what about blacking out though?

Tômas: would we still have that

MCA: is that sleep?

Tômas: i don't know if it counts

Tômas: i think blacking is more like a defense mechanism against yourself

Tômas: blacking out*

MCA: lol

MCA: blacking sounds racist

Tômas: lol

MCA: I guess not

MCA: since you're not doing it for energy

MCA: people might freak out when others black out or faint.

Tômas: if people don't black out though they could be more likely to drink themselves to death

MCA: maybe we'd go in comas

MCA: more often

Tômas: damn

MCA: what would happen if you didn't eat?

Tômas: starve

MCA: so we'd starve faster if we didn't sleep, right?

MCA: because we're using more energy

Tômas: probably

MCA: they say you can go 3 days without food

Tômas: i thought it was 3 days without water and a week without food

MCA: my b

MCA: I can still make a point though

MCA: I'm pretty sure you could only go 2 days without water then due to math.

Tômas: yea, maybe

MCA: and 4 or 5 without food

Tômas: makes sense

MCA: what would people do after sex?

MCA: just leave?

Tômas: damn

Tômas: it sounds awkward to just cuddle for a while then leave

MCA: srs

Tômas: 'cause usually they cuddle until they fall asleep

Tômas: or rather until

Tômas: i said until

Tômas: my b

MCA: there could be no 1 night stands.

MCA: well they'd be much different

MCA: and probably better thought out

Tômas: right

MCA: like agreed upon that it's meaningless sex

MCA: since you can't just dip out afterward

Tômas: unless you trick her or something

Tômas: like, 'hey what's that over there'

Tômas: and run

MCA: lol

MCA: I'm wondering what it would be like outside

Tômas: we'd still have day and night and shit

Tômas: maybe just lots of people out all the time

MCA: that's what I was thinking

MCA: but parents would want kids inside when it was dark, right?

Tômas: probably

MCA: so what would kids do all night?

MCA: hmm

Tômas: hmm

MCA: maybe they'd school all night

MCA: and have days free

Tômas: that's what i was thinking

Tômas: damn man

Tômas: then wal-mart at 3 am won't be special anymore

MCA: there would be way more 24 hour stores

Tômas: maybe all of them

MCA: I was thinking all of them

Tômas: since people have way more time to work

Tômas: and no need to sleep

MCA: true

MCA: what about sundays though?

Tômas: 24 hour stores right from the beginning

Tômas: probably work

Tômas: since we do now, and we would be more motivated to if there was no sleep

Tômas: if you nahmean

MCA: I nahmean

MCA: but some stores just close early

MCA: what would be closing early if all of them other stores are always open?

Tômas: i know alcohol stores are closed on sundays

Tômas: maybe that'll stay the same

Tômas: since there's more work it doesn't seem like there would be time to party

MCA: there will be a lot of people not working though

MCA: or not working as much because work still sucks I'm sure

Tômas: true that

Tômas: but night time would be totally different

Tômas: so maybe parties wouldn't happen then, but any time

MCA: and if no one ever needs sleep, parties would last forever

Tômas: holy shit

MCA: or at least until all the heroin/balloons are gone

Tômas: that doesn't sound good

Tômas: parties aren't meant to last forever, i'm sure

MCA: nah

MCA: they might only end in fights and deaths

Tômas: probably more drunk driving too

MCA: indeed

MCA: more fires

Tômas: how are these people going to undrunk without sleep?

MCA: drugs that we develop with our extra time

Tômas: maybe they'll just throw up

Tômas: this alternate reality with no sleep isn't sounding as cool as before

MCA: lol

MCA: just like fairly odd parents

MCA: dammit

MCA: what happens when someone accidentally makes a sleeping pill?

Tômas: people start taking them because sleep is going to be so awesome to someone who's never had it

Tômas: then there will be a whole problem with people sleeping

Tômas: no work getting done

Tômas: and we'll just be back to where we are now

Tômas: well, not back since it never was

Tômas: but you nahmean

MCA: I nahmean

MCA: so this world ultimately ends in the world we're in now

Tômas: right

Tômas: just maybe 670 years ahead

Tômas: in terms of time spent working

MCA: right

MCA: if we were sleeping right now we never would have figured this out

Tômas: indeed
