By universe, I’m talking a TV show, Anime, Graphical Novel, Cartoon, Movie, a book, heck even time travel.
Star trek has transporters, holodecks, and amazing medical technology. There are other usniverses that have some of these, but not all 3 in one place. But basically, that is what I would go for.
I’d choose a Ship’s Mind from the Culture Series by Ian M. Banks, specifically a GCU class vessel.
Fuck, Id be okay with any random Culture citizen
The good place from well… “the good place”
Since the question doesn’t force me to do it, just says I “could” do it, I would choose to not do it.
Would be pretty shitty to disappear, abandoning your family/friends/partner/kids, even if your new life would be nice.
Seems like everyone else in the thread is jumping at the opportunity to go pick up some milk though. :P
Star Trek TNG Picard anytime.
If not that, I’ll happily go for the Orville as well
Why not Q?
Logan’s Run, a non stop drug and sex fuelled good time up until your bones start creaking and they melt you down. Sounds perfect.
star trek next generation 100%. I can’t think of anything that would be better than that.
Conundrum: STNG overlaps in time with DS9 (even if they didn’t, they’re both part of the same “universe” as posed by the question), so by selecting the universe of STNG, does that mean having to live through the Dominion war? Not sure that makes it a deal breaker either way but definitely takes some of the utopian edge off.
I guess real nice would be to have the star trek online universe where I like goto starfleet and become a captain like out of the academy and am allowed to do whatever I want with my vast fleet of ships n junk. I took STNG because that was the holodeck and replicators and until the borg invasion it was relatively peaceful and even that did not last long.
I need to know more about it. Is this a “you get to be part of the main crew” thing, or just “you exist in that universe?” Because it’d be cool if I could be a Bob-like AI in the Bobiverse, but if I were simply transported into the Bobiverse in 2026 well… I’m not sure I’d even notice.
You could be an obscure person referenced once every while or you could be the main person. Dealers choice.
I’d say either pokemon or very hungry caterpillar
The lack of porn/hentai universes in the comments is refreshing.
…That being said…
Everything can be porn.
Not sure, but I know which one I absolutely would not choose: Westeros.
One thing they never really get into in Star Trek is how the body modification scene evolved in a future with medical replicators and “Doc will shine a light on it” levels of medical technology. I’m sure they could easily perform a gender transition, including changing reproductive organs to whatever combo a person wanted, in an afternoon, to say nothing of the possibility of cosmetic and functional structural changes. We see them perform highly complex and detailed biological modifications so crew members can pass as aliens like it’s nothing, so why not make people taller/shorter, wider/narrower hips, bigger/smaller boobs, more feminine/masculine face, horns, pointed or alien ears, new sense organs, extra arms, etc. What kind of wild piercings are people getting? What new methods and styles of tattoos have they come up with? The possibilities are incredible. That would be a fun world to explore, even within the Federation’s taboo against genetic alteration.
I want to live in high tech but ethical peace and comfort
Janeway: “Hold my beer”
Beer? Have you ever even watched voyager? It’s coffee all the way for her.
Having said that, voyager mostly wasn’t very good, and federation standards were indeed very fluid in that show
To be fair, they were a LONG way from federation rules enforcement.
Janeway: “Hold my
beercoffee”
Hm… Maybe … but I’m also shopping around for a universe that includes immortality.
The Culture has all that, plus furries.
Ok now I need to watch culture, what is this show?!?
It’s a book series. It’s a semi utopia based sci-fi. The culture is an amalgam of species (including human). It’s run by “minds” hyper powerful AIs. Humanity is akin to pet dogs. A mix of pampered and useful.
Basically, humans live in a life of luxury and choice. Changing genders, or even species is very common. Immortality is mostly a logistics and boredom issue.
And loads of sex IIRC
Edit: I was thinking a different Culture, from the book “remember Phlebas”.
Use of Weapons, Look to Windward, Surface Detail, and Hydrogen Sonata are all reasonably sex-filled (if not entirely sex-positive) too.
Definitely hits all the points of Luxury Gay Space Communism.
Discovery ruined that for us, you could end up in the shitty future after the Burn
Maybe, if this includes traveling to the future where the shoes mostly take place. Right now, in their universe, things aren’t exactly going too well.
Adventure Time
Easy, a citizen of The Culture. Post scarcity society like in Star Trek but in steroids and completely anarchic. The pinnacle of what technology and society could offer.
That seems like cheating, so option B is technologically the opposite, if I can retain my modern knowledge I would choose to go back in time to live with a society of hunter gatherers of the neolithic. Your only job is to find food in a world with still very few people to compete with and everything nature has to offer.
The Elder Scrolls, because I know the duplication glitches and the restoration portion loop. I shall become a vampire Emperor, personally slaughter every fucking Thalmor, and use my magical staff to turn my enemies into sweet rolls and then fucking eat them.
