What if? It's the basis of many stories. We ask. We ponder. We wonder.
On Tuesdays I throw one out there. What if? It may be speculative. It may stem from something I see. It may be something I pull from the news.
Make of it what you will. If a for instance is not specified, interpret that instance as you wish. And if the idea turns into a story, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements 😉
Have any of you seen the show Upload on Amazon Prime?
(Briefly: In the future, people can be uploaded into a virtual world after they die. The show is about one guy navigating this world. It's a half hour show in its 3rd season. It's a comedy, but the world definitely is dystopian.)
I'm a bit behind, but there was one episode that took place on what I assume was Thanksgiving (although it was called something different). And they had one throwaway detail that I think is perfect for this week.
What if you could "digitally print" your Thanksgiving dinner? (Think 3D printers. Yes, it's food. Yes, it's edible.)
Sorry, hard pass for me.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen Upload (although I do have Amazon Prime, I rarely use its streaming service) and, as for 3D printed Thanksgiving dinner - no, not as long as my husband is willing to cook it.
ReplyDeleteHmm....no cooking and would taste like a great meal and not paper? I might give that a shot. This show sounds interesting but I bet it's bleak
ReplyDeleteI would a lease try one meal by three D printer.
ReplyDeleteMy home isn't set up for streaming.
Coffee is on.
That’s really weird
ReplyDelete3D hardware, etc., seems fine. But food? I'd rather eat simple things locally sourced as much as possible. :D
ReplyDeleteAs long as I don’t have to figure out how to print the dinner, I’d give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI'd have the feast of my life!
ReplyDeleteI am going to check this show out. I believe we will be uploading ourselves in the future.
ReplyDeleteI would experience the most incredible feast ever! 🦃🍽️🎉
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Liz.
Sure, why not? One step closer to the replicator of Star Trek!
