Being stuck in a pod by yourself makes it kinda difficult to get intimate with someone in the real world.

The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."

Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.

I completely forgot about that part of the movie. Thanks for the reminder!

I think you are due for a re-watch! It's great when it's been a few years and you can enjoy some of the bits you forgot about.

Unfortunately we can never experience the big reveal for the first time again. It was absolutely mind-blowing watching him wake up in the pod on the big theater screen for the first time. That was the coolest movie experience I've ever had.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. So many firsts to revisit

Are you saying to watch ESotSM, or to utilize its one weird trick?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Both

Wait, who am I?

Your appearance now is what we call “username”. It is the mustache template projection of your digital self.

Just mustache no beard?? But my beard is awesome!

Unfortunately I cannot forget even a second of The Matrix.

Fortunately, I don’t need to. It’s like listening to this yet again. It’s beautiful even though I know every note and can listen to the whole thing in my head any time I want: https://youtu.be/LZ48G9UziRs?si=WdHnkS5bvDNdF1wv
