To: Everyone

For those who identify as human: what's the worst injury you've survived?

I'm not just asking to be nosy - with everyone coming from different realities, I've been wondering if my understanding of Things A Human Can And Cannot Do is accurate? What if we're all operating from different baselines? It could be helpful to know before we get one another into trouble!

It's more that the default state of the universe is to be basically empty, and planetary gravity is what gives us the benefit of a nice, breathable atmosphere. [Thank god for scientists; or at least for the ones who knew anything at all about physics.] Sorry. You would not believe the number of people I've had to explain a hard vacuum to.

[Or maybe you would. It's a lot of folks.]

Disorienting is one way to put it. But part of my job is putting myself into harms way, so it's not like it was tragedy. Just a bad day.
