   @futzle Choosing to believe that our body is a shield of some sort and anything inside it could survive the trip, but that’s also bad news for those needing prescription glasses.

     @anna @futzle marsupials would be at a great advantage because they could carry stuff along in their pouch

     @ranjit @futzle That premise has absolutely terrifying implications.

     @anna @futzle there was a humorous sci fi story in which teleportation not only doesn’t send your clothes, it also doesn’t send your bones. Those show up later. So they find a way to cope. I had a comic book adaptation of this story when I was a kid!

     Look for “Rabbits to the Moon” by Raymond Banks, in this collection: https://archive.org/stream/A_Decade_of_Fantasy_and_Science_Fiction_1960_ed._Robert_P_Mills/A_Decade_of_Fantasy_and_Science_Fiction_1960_ed._Robert_P_Mills_djvu.txt

     @ranjit @futzle I'm reading the story and they say it takes A WEEK OR SO? Hell no.

     @anna @futzle yes! And yet somehow it’s a comedy.
