The Ultimate Guide to Guinea Pigs in Black Mirror: A Fan Theory

This is another part of my ongoing series where I use the Machine to rewrite things I’ve already written. Here’s what I was rewriting this time: Anyone else still thinking about that Black Mirror guinea pig?

Are you a Black Mirror fan who is also obsessed with guinea pigs? If so, you're in luck. We have a fan theory that combines both of these interests, and it's sure to blow your mind.

A guinea pig and a black mirror

The Theory

In the "Black Museum" episode of Black Mirror, we see a guinea pig named "Jack" being used as a test subject for a virtual reality system that allows the user to feel the pain of another being. We believe that this guinea pig is actually the same one that appears in the "USS Callister" episode, which takes place in a virtual reality game created by a programmer named Robert Daly.

The Evidence

First, let's look at the physical appearance of the guinea pig in both episodes. In "Black Museum," Jack is described as being "the same one as always." In "USS Callister," the guinea pig is also described as being "the same one as always." This suggests that they are one and the same.

Secondly, the virtual reality system used in "Black Museum" is very similar to the one used in "USS Callister." Both systems allow the user to experience the sensations of another being. It's possible that Robert Daly was inspired by the technology used in "Black Museum" to create his own system.

Finally, the guinea pig in "USS Callister" is shown to have a very human-like personality. It's possible that this is because the guinea pig was once a real animal, and was scanned into the game by Daly. This would explain why the guinea pig in the game is able to communicate with the human characters and express emotions.

The Implications

If this theory is true, it has some interesting implications for the Black Mirror universe. It suggests that virtual reality technology is more advanced than we previously thought, and that it's possible to scan real-life beings into virtual environments. It also raises ethical questions about the use of animals in scientific experiments, as well as the ethics of creating virtual copies of living beings.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we believe that the guinea pig in "Black Museum" and the guinea pig in "USS Callister" are one and the same. This theory is supported by the physical appearance of the guinea pig, the similarity of the virtual reality systems used in both episodes, and the human-like personality of the guinea pig in "USS Callister." If you're a Black Mirror fan who loves guinea pigs, this theory is sure to blow your mind.
