This already exists - that's how Heaven and Hell keep track of souls.

You know why it's so hot in Hell? Because that's where the exhaust ports of the AC units cooling the soulchain mining servers are.

My first thought too! Somebody check the temperature in hell.

This is why Hell was invented.

I think hell is coded in Java

You’ve just described hell.

But everyone knows hell is exothermic: http://www.pinetree.net/humor/thermodynamics.html

Hell is well-populated.

sounds like a Torment Nexus waiting for being created ;)

All the cool people are in Hell. Only go to Heaven for the climate.

It's my firm belief that the hottest rooms in hell will be saved for those who kick people when they're down.

This sounds like a very specific, personalized version of hell

I think you have described a new definition of hell.

Building blocks of either heaven or hell.

Or a copy of you living in VR gets to be tortured endlessly until the sun explodes. Which at least is better defined than "hell".

[Thanks to Messrs Banks, Stross and Vinge for that particular cheery thought].

You described hell.

This idea was somewhat explored in Iain M. Banks _surface detail_, after death, your conciousness would be put into a virtual hell if you 'sinned' in your physical life and that the hells were used as a deterrent

You could call it the Fifth Circle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)#Fifth_Circle_(...) of Hell as a service.

Its just data collection not hell. Hell means survival problems, no food or water or war.

GrantMoyer | karma 730 | avg karma 4.4 · | 2024-06-25 18:31:48

I'm not sure about Hell++, but DeathStation 9000 is a "common" jocular name for a hypothetical system which is as pathological as possible with respect to implementation definined and undefined behavior.

At least people wouldn't voluntarily sign up to live in hell forever. Virtual heaven might be a Great Filter -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter .
