Red Dwarf - Psirens (1993)
As KRYTEN and LISTER head for the cockpit, the airlock monitor fizzes on again and a SECOND LISTER appears on the screen.
LISTER 2: What the hell are you doing taking off when I’m still outside? Let me in.
KRYTEN double-takes between the LISTER inside and the LISTER on the monitor.
KRYTEN: I’m afraid, sir, you’re already here.
RIMMER steps down from the cockpit.
LISTER 1: He’s a Psiren – don’t let him in. LISTER 2: For god’s sake – I can’t hang on any longer. He’s the Psiren. Let me in! RIMMER: What do we do? KRYTEN: there’s no way to tell which is which. We have to let him in. RIMMER: That means we’ll definitely have one Psiren on board. A brain- sucking psychotic temporal lobe slurper. KRYTEN: There’s a fifty per cent chance we have one on board already. We can’t risk killing the real Lister. I’m letting him in.
Two courses of action.
-
You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. Then you let the Ramirez outside in and do the same. You proceed trying to figure out what’s going on. Who is the real one? Problem with this scenario is now you 100% have the fake one inside with you.

You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. You leave the one outside to die. Unethical, but now there’s only a 50/50 chance the one inside with you is the fake one.
Alternate option if you’re feeling really unethical is you just instantly kill the one already inside and also leave the one outside to die. Technically the safest option.

Kick out the inside Ramirez and let them fight to the death. The winner is the fake one.
Won’t someone please consider a time travel option??
You look yourself at the mirror: You are Ramirez

We bought this run-down house, my boyfriend and I. While he started working on converting the kitchen into the main bedroom, I insisted on removing the old wallpaper. The previous owner papered every wall and ceiling in the house! It’s a lot of work to remove, but it feels so good to get rid of it. The best feeling is getting a long peel, like when your skin peels after a bad sunburn. I turned it into a game, on the hunt to rip the longest piece possible.
I noticed there was a person’s name and date under a corner section of paper in every room. I couldn’t help but investigate and Googled those names. What I discovered left me speechless. The names all belonged to missing people, and the dates matched the day of their disappearance! We notified the police, who sent the crime scene team. I overheard one of them say, “Yeah, it’s human.” Wait, what’s human? “Ma’am, where is all the material you removed? This isn’t wallpaper.”
Oops, already ate it. Sorry, didn’t know it was evidence.
you know, in a day and age where it’s wearisome to accuse one’s neighbours, i still find it surprisingly easy to tell my friends you’re a scoundrel.
If you have not read it, I recommend you this short comic: https://emcarroll.com/comics/faceallred/01.html
Same dread feeling…
debunk: would be too expensive, plant fiber is orders of magnitude cheaper.
Another debunk: human skin wallpaper would be irregularly shaped, so it wouldn’t have “corners” to write names and dates under. Also, it would be a lot more than one victim per wall. Also also, I’m pretty sure it would look profoundly weird and not like normal wallpaper at all.
Nice foreshadowing with the bit about peeling a sunburn, though.
must … not … ask AI to generate human skin wallpaper

Not far off from the plot of the 2009 film Moon
Quite far off from the plot of the 2007 film Shrek The Third though.

These are the insightful observations I keep coming back to Lemmy for.
Such a great film. And a great piece of commentary on how capitalism treats employees as disposable assets.
Sci Fi often skews left, doesn’t it?
