Wouldn't that make B12 real again, seeing as it's just a community?

Not if it doesn't exist in the not-dream world. But at the same time, yes.
Would we be able to contact each other if we all woke up?
Would someone go out of their way to make Bay12 real?

Oh. If this is a dream, then I still have a few months of school left. I get to almost fail all over again. Dang it.

[Sergarr]

That would be terrifying, actually.

[TD1]

But...

What about the Dream Thread? Is Bay12 therefore merely "online" metaphysical storage/dumping ground for other dreams, ideas and wishes? And then, when you wake, you have been completely cleansed of emotion. Either to promote a peaceful world, or so everyone is easier to control.

[Darvi]

Either to promote a peaceful world, or so everyone is easier to control.

If I've learnt anything, it's that those two are one and the same.

[TD1]

Not quite. The difference would be, as I imagine it, that in the peaceful world there would be no leaders because of the emotional cleansing.

But I'm leading more towards control, given what happens to banned members. They no longer cleanse, and so their emotions are released upon the world. In which case, in the real world, we are all regretting the ban of GreatWrymGold, all hail our draconic overlord!

[Lyeos]

That, or they're terminated. Any who make it back obviously just escaped, or were cloned.

[Arx]

if it was, would it change anything

I can confidently say yes.

would it make the life you already experienced any different?

would it change your memories, knowing that you're not real in the end?

will it change the way in which you enjoy or fail to enjoy the world at large?

Oh. Okay, it won't change my life. It would make other things different. Unless I've mangled my philosophical brain. If I have, I blame it on having written two exams today.

[smjjames]

The terrified thread got locked. O.o Though from the last few comments, looks like it was because it wandered into tentacle territory.

More of a 'what the heck?' than a WTF.

[Arx]

I just had an absolutely uncanny run of good luck. Like, uncanny. Mat-level.

I was playing cricket with a tennis ball, because the bounce is... fun. I slammed it several meters above the wall several times, and every time it hit a tree or a bush's branch. And one time it bounced off the top of the wall, instead of going over. What.

[10ebbor10]

Probably an interesting spin effect the time it bounced back, rather than over.

[Eric Blank]

Its going to cost five grand and change to drop power off the lines so we can get electricity on our property. :c

How much would a generator and a few solar panels and stuff cost in comparison?

[Eric Blank]

Less, presumably. Although a good generator and fuel for it could end up being just as much. Solar panels are also expensive as fuck and we get more reliable wind than sunlight. I was going to make an impromptu windmill with an old car alternator and battery instead.

[GiglameshDespair]

Might be worth doing the windy thing.

Fuel wise, maybe a methane generator if you have a lot of biological waste? Or livestock.

The solar panels where I live are probably going to earn themselves back in 8 years in total instead of the forecated 10, and work for 50 in total or something. But they're connected to the mains, so if we get a powercut they stop working.

[LordSlowpoke]

gens are at least 40k, assuming you have the manpower required to actually install it
