What would happen if you were in the Matrix and decided to take both the red and blue pills at the same time?

<boring, analytical answer>

The red pill was a trace program. The blue pill knocks you out, by the sounds of it (supposedly you wake up in bed like nothing happened). In theory, taking both would knock you out, but also allow you to be removed from the Matrix; the problem is, we don't know for sure how the two programs would react in composite. Both programs operating within Neo's residual self-image would potentially tilt the RAM usage over capacity (we don't know how big any of the programs are, or the Matrix's spare capacity), and any clash causing recursion could result in a localised stack overflow.

But what does a localized stack overflow do to him?

You're all fucked in the head.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

(Original subject: A reply regarding my recent post in the Worst of Social Justice thread.)

Just to let you guys know, I'm actually concerned about the merits of Frozen. It was based on a cancelled/unfinished project the Walt Disney Studios was doing a long time ago (making it the Duke Nukem Forever of Disney animated features) and the advertising campaign for the film has been awful so far (like, who the fuck cares about that snowman - Olaf? He's already assigned to 'The Scrappy' by anyone interested and disinterested). I mean their last major feature, Wreck-it Ralph, I loved it, yet even then I got concerned about its merits time to time.

But you know, time can tell, even with the lousy advertising of the film, and the fact that it was a film the company never got off the ground until now. I honestly hate that these studios confirmed that they're not doing any '2D' films anymore.

I didn't even know about it until a few weeks ago when I went to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: the sides of the candy bags they handed out had the poster on it.

Is it me, or is this the most depressing product ever to be kickstarted?

Yeah, 'cause I totally need to be sent into an existential crisis every time I glance at my watch.

Yeah, I already spend way more time thinking about my demise and the concept of non-existence than a 21-year-old should. Having that watch would probably just result in me never getting any sleep.

Also, what happens when it inevitably turns out to be wrong?

Half the time, you rejoice because you aren't dead and then burn the watch because it reminds you too much of the horrible years you spent with it on your wrist.


The other half, you're dead, so who cares.
