I don't accept the premise -- the pattern is read on transport, yes? Rather than a fixed record of one's composition. Therefore, the only aging you won't be doing is for the duration of the transport process itself. Chump change.
They regularly allude to the idea of "pattern buffers" that hold on to a copy of you for as long as the plot requires.
Like how Scotty sat for decades in the transporter buffer. How the doctors kid in strange new worlds was stashed in the transporter buffer most of the time.
Multiple TNG references using "last transport" as a reference point for Crusher to talk about mysterious space sickness of the day.
This sort of teleportation also effectively kills you, right? Once you are molecularly demolished, your direct stream of consciousness stops, while "you" who steps out of a teleportation machine in a destination point is your perfect copy with implanted memories.
Why aren't these memes being posted to the startrek instance instead of lemmy.world?
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
