Isn’t this just a Black Mirror episode?
and a Star Trek episode
And an Australian sci fi film.
And an American B grade scifi film
Episode “The Sentence” from The Outer Limits (1996)
Would Demolition Man count, due to the subliminal programming while frozen, or would the “put in cryostasis for 500 years” part kinda be the antethis of OP?
Lmao yeah I came here to say this…
But alas, I was too slow :(
Literally.
Likely inspired by Vernon Vinge’s The Cookie Monster:

Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.
In my experience, the best way to make 8 hours feel like a thousand years is to get a job in IT.
Yes, Let them single step using the same input data for a couple of weeks that will teach them!
Bro thats just some straight up naruto shit there
Nice so instead of locking somebody up for 20 years for murder, we can make it feel closer to 22 million years.
That’ll fucking teach 'em!
Soo… since OP is a jackass, here’s the link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10697529/Prisoners-could-serve-1000-year-sentence-in-eight-hours.html
The gist (emphasis mine):
Philosopher Rebecca Roache […] said, […] “you could imagine developing a pill or a liquid that made someone feel like they were serving a 1,000-year sentence”
I can’t fathom why this is report-worthy. Was April 2014 such a boring month?
It’s older than that if you want to cite fiction
Which someone saying “maybe one day we can” is
This philosopher hack has also written about eugenic BS aimed at sculpting humanity to have a smaller carbon footprint. I’m ok with op not actually linking to her crap.
You could imagine.
QED
lol and its only a few paragraphs long. Coulda tried harder, Rhiannon Williams…
I wouldn’t call OP a jackass for not providing the source for a shitpost.
providing source is good form in every context
source:
- Careful citation practices will build your credibility as a scientist or scholar.

Sure, the source would have been nice. They’re not a jackass for not providing it though. Do you send the source every time you show a friend a meme?
Yes, I do. In this case I think it’s vital to link to the source, since the meme make it look like this garbage was a real thing.
Maybe they didn’t have the source. Again, we’re on the shitpost community. I think it’s unreasonable to call someone a jackass because they don’t research the sources for every meme that they find and shitpost. Especially when they’re a power-user like OP and post 30-some times a day.
If it’s used on the likes of Putin or Netanyahu, I won’t complain.
“Black Mirror: White Christmas” has entered the chat
Or that episode of The Outer Limits with David Hyde-Pierce.
One of my favourite episodes. I need to hold my right hand with my left to prevent myself from watching it too many times.
It is THAT good…I agree.
Iain M. Banks - Surface Detail has a really fucked up version of that concept in it.
Showing my age here, but there’s a great Improvised Star Trek episode about this exact topic, if you like improv: Time & Punishment 🤣
Picard got a wonderful lifetime experiencing a peaceful culture in which he was a musician and scientist with a loving family beamed into his head.
Obrien got the memory of decades of imprisonment in which he killed his only friend.
It’s sort of an actual plot of a Voyager episode, too. The one where they force Tom to relive a murder he didn’t even commit.
There’s a whole horrifying episode of Deep Space Nine about something like this.
Probably the best “O’Brien Must Suffer” episode.
A similar premise was used in an episode of the 90’s revival of The Outer Limits. Had David Hyde Pierce in it.
Miles O’Brien must suffer
There’s also a book by iain M banks called Surface Detail, part of the culture series. It was an entertaining albeit troubling read.
DS9 already did it.
And showed why it was a bad idea. Just another instance of the ‘painsphere’.
Outer Limits did it too: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0667983/
The Sentence. It stars Niles from Frasier (David Hyde Pierce)
DMT already did it.
The Culture already did it
Surface Detail - Iain M Banks
There it is. One of the most disturbing episodes in all Star Trek, and it’s exactly this. That and Inner Light, genuinely dark shit.
O’Brien exists to suffer haha.
I’d rather just kill em than trap them in a thousand years of darkness
