Explain SMBC — the wiki for Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

This comic depicts a person visiting a dying relative on their deathbed. Instead of staying for the person's final moments, the visitor cheerfully explains that they've already "downloaded" the dying person's brain and can predict their last words later using the data. They then excuse themselves because their Disneyland tickets are non-refundable.

The joke satirizes how technology and convenience culture might erode traditional human values and rituals. Being present for a loved one's death is one of the most sacred social obligations, yet the visitor treats it as an inefficiency that technology has made unnecessary. The caption, "Eventually, convenience will eat all worldviews," drives the point home: no matter how deeply held a belief or tradition, the relentless pull of convenience and technology will eventually override it. The absurdity of prioritizing Disneyland over a deathbed vigil -- while having a perfectly logical technological justification -- highlights how rationality and convenience can lead to deeply inhuman outcomes.
