It is about 70% from my own personal experience.

Doubt it

You can doubt all you want, doesn't change the fact that I do 😂.

Like what? I’m really curious. Because I’m pretty fucking far from the US, both physically and culturally.

Like I post on how to, let's say, cut down on disk usage, and people point me to the prices of HDDs on NewEgg... they just assumed I live in the US and that drives are cheap as hell... they aren't around here. $80 for a 2TB drive, up to $250, 300 for an 8TB drive. Not to mention that salaries are a lot lower here... like 10+ times lower.

That’s a lot of words to avoid copping to posting incel crap. You have women where you live right? Learn to do better.

Learn to do what better? 😂

Lol 😂, I don't even know who that is.

Regardless, as I've said, this is my own personal experience in life (mostly)... doesn't mean it's everyone's.

Also worth noting one of the main drives for human hibernation: nutrient/food intake is cut to like ⅙ when hibernating, so you can be shipped to Mars and that hugely weight-sensitive payload allowance can be cut down to a manageable amount. IIRC, 1 person eats 1 ton of food throughout the whole trip to Mars (3 years). That food weight is a substantial hinderance in sending people to Mars, at least in numbers.

Space travel? Yes, that makes sense. But working on this just so we can attend a party on Ibiza... no, it doesn't IMO.

The reason for developing this is what bothers me and makes no sense IMO.

That is probably decades from happening, at which point, I will either be dead or very old and won't give AF about traveling all together.

I'm saying it's stupid, even if they do discover it. No way in hell I'm going through that just to travel to another place. It's not like we're colonizing the galaxy with this technology, we're going to Ibiza 🤦.

The whole thing sounds like it would be better as a writing prompt than anything like a practical solution to anything. People need to go back to writing science fiction instead of putting out stuff like this.

Exactly.

This is just stupid IMO, if I read this in an SF novel, I'm dropping the novel, not even reading it to the end. We have online conferences, where people don't even need to be present in the same room, but go through all this just to travel to another place 🤨... it just feels stupid.

That works if I have 2+ weeks in my life at my disposal for... whatever... what if I have to be there ASAP.

Yep, exactly like that when I first opened Vi/Vim 🤣.

That may be your POV, but I think we can agree that it might not be everyone's.
