    This is a horror story. The person flips the switch accidentally one day and when they flip it back on…

    • they aren’t the same person
    • they lose all their memories because they were stored in RAM
    • something evil is no longer contained
    • nothing happens, they just stay off. FOREVER!
    • they crap their pants, it’s the bowel control switch

      • they can’t tell the difference

      OK, that one might be more demoralizing than terrifying.

        I like this one. They spend their whole life being so careful not to flip the switch by accident, not doing physical activities, not walking in big crowds, never hugging someone, only wearing certain types of clothes, etc. Then it finally happens late in life and the switch does nothing. They realize that they missed out on so many experiences due to fear.

        That’s some psychological horror. Could be a Black Mirror episode.

          Or it could be something slow acting, without immediate consequence but important enough to have severe repercussions after a period of being turned off, such as your immune system

        This is the worst. Because they do not know what happened. It might be that they are completely new person with the same memories and just think nothing changed. While it might be that original person just died. And they will continue to flip the switch always spawning new person that will not be aware one person just stopped existing.
