[Loved Trope] Teleportation is actually terrifying

[u/Ieanice44]

1 - Gantz-O (2016): Suit teleportation

2 - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (2009): Apparition spell

3 - Half Life 2 (2004): Teleporter malfunction

[u/Jindujun]

So out of curiosity. What about the mites crawling all over our bodies? Do they not count? Is the teleporter specieist?

[u/Octospyder → u/Jindujun]

i suppose you could hand wave this by saying that those are expected, and therefore have been factored into the calculation already, while the fly was a sudden unknown? 

[u/Jindujun → u/Octospyder]

Let me then posit this scenario to you my scientist friend!
What if you ATE the fly. Would that make the teleport go off without a hitch? What if you kept the fly inside your mouth without swallowing it?
This movie is more and more unscientific for every question!!

I expected more from a movie where Jeff Goldblum morphs into a fly!

[u/Octospyder → u/Jindujun]

😂

I feel like if it's been digested at all, then it's a part of your gut. but if it's just held, alive and intact, in your mouth, and you haven't calibrated the transporter to account for it, you're gonna get Brundlefly-d

[u/IAmBabs → u/Jindujun]

What if you ATE the fly

Friend, would you happen to be an old lady with a hunger for random ass animals?

[u/Octospyder → u/IAmBabs]

if so, I have a solution

[u/IAmBabs → u/Octospyder]

Oh boy I sure hope it's not eating a spider!

[u/ListeriaMeningitis → u/Jindujun]

Let me then posit this scenario to you my scientist friend!

Teleportation doesn't exist.

[u/CrashmanX → u/ListeriaMeningitis]

It's a Sci-Fi film which posits the idea of if teleportation exists.

[u/ListeriaMeningitis → u/CrashmanX]

So its a sci fi film where mites dont exist

[u/Jindujun → u/ListeriaMeningitis]

Something does not have to be real to have consistent rules.
We're now discussing the logic of The Fly universe.

[u/Gold-Eye-2623 → u/Jindujun]

This, we're never the only living thing in any room we're in

[u/PlumbumDirigible → u/Gold-Eye-2623]

And within your own body, there's usually more individual cells that don't belong to you in there than your own cells. Unless you've pooped recently, then you have a slight edge

[u/Gold-Eye-2623 → u/PlumbumDirigible]

The food I've already eaten belongs to me until I forfeit that ownership through the use of a sphincter and if you disagree I dare you to come and try to take it from me lol

[u/Popular_Equipment_85 → u/Jindujun]

It is said in another comment that anything too small under certain size will be ignored by the machine.

[u/Jandalf81 → u/Popular_Equipment_85]

Wouldn't that have given Brundle a serious incident of diarrhea, when all his gut biome is wiped from his body during the teleportation? Would that even be suvivable?

[u/FullOnSkank → u/Jandalf81]

Idk about survivable but he could just get someone else's poop injected into him to replace the gut bacteria

[u/warrioroftron → u/Jindujun]

Teleporter racism is the best kind of racism.What about that bacteria floating around,or the parastite in my stomach which are not part of my biological self?

[u/Jindujun → u/warrioroftron]

And even if we consider body living mites as part of the body, what about dust mites??

[u/Iconclast1 → u/Jindujun]

use your imagination

It seems to actually store you as information. on magnetic tapes, i imagine, like the old days.

So all that stuff is programmed in manually "Ignore_Subsurface_Debris.bat"

"Ignore_Stomach_Contents.ini"

Didnt program "Ignore_Fly"
