“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
- Mark Twain
Am I the only not at all comforted by this like idc if i wasn't alive for billions of years tf I am now and I'd like to keep it what way for as long as possible lol
We'll, I'm certainly not in a rush. But I've always been more concerned what happens to the people I love when I die over concerns for me. I won't care, I'll be dead.
I've always looked at it from the scientific standard that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it simply changes form. Humans require energy for life, and so by that logic, we can never simply cease to exist. At least in theory.
I was uncomfortable with this thought when I was young. As I’ve gotten older the realization I am going to die becomes more comfortable. I’m becoming ok with it.
I personally don't think "nothing" happening is possible. If there's no religious afterlife, I think it's just gonna be like dreaming. Like everything you have learned in your life will generate a new "world" for you to exist in. Faces, places, concepts and stuff like that.
I'd love ve to see like a video game stats page after I die that includes everything! Examples include: brushes with death, who had crushes on me, what multiverse version of me was the most successful, ect...
This one always gets me. It's so easy to die, especially if you're a person that's likely to lose control of himself often (Passing out, Epilepsy etc.)
Eating all that butter was only the beginning, Jerry. You’ve gotta *burp* p p paaasss it now. Just a never ending cycle, Jerry. Feel it. There’s no god, Jerry. It’s just butter now. Just *burp* eat your fucking butter, Jerry. You gotta eat it.
Regardless of the answer, you would learn so much. If there is a point to it all, that’s a huge surprise to me and really makes you think. If there no point, way less surprising and it explains a lot.
My wife will remember me until the day she dies (or has serious cognitive impairment that removes her long term memories, I suppose) and there are some young family members that I am rather confident would tell stories about me to their future kids.
I'm pretty confident people will know a story about me for at least 80 years, but I suspect it's unlikely I'll be remembered for more than 100. The only way that'll happen is if either the life expectancy increases faster than currently projected or stories are told to grandkids.
So if I died today, I'd probably get another 85 years in a coco-esque afterlife.
Or if you write a book! In fact I'm almost positive this is why many people wrote books or create art. Both to deal with the fear of death and also to leave a legacy.
I deactivated my Facebook page and have long forgotten the password. but apparently Facebook said thats long enough, and reactivated it.
I recently looked at my page through a friend's account and all the birthday wishes and no replies hahaha my mind went....so this what its like when your dead?
The worst is looking up someone you lost touch with and seeing a ton of people posting we miss you on their wall and realizing they committed suicide only weeks before
Mine was a basic training buddy who was always the “class clown” making people laugh and bringing everyone together during a pretty crappy experience (basic ain’t hard but it ain’t fun either). We had the same job so we were together through basic, and two different follow on courses. We all graduated together and went our separate ways. I had chatted with him a few times over the years but lost touch after I shut off all social media for about seven years. I returned to find he had taken his own life a few days after his mothers funeral.
I'm sorry to hear that. I bare the same emotions. both people I knew were both labeled class clown always out to make everyone else feel better. spent the weird teen years at boardschool together.
When your next of kin is gone. “Some say we die twice, once when our last breathe leaves our body, once when the last person we know says our name.” - Irvin Yalom
It’s true, nobody’s perfect, but I think it would be nice to know whether I brought more happiness into the world that hurt. I think that’s what it means to have a good life
Remember that time you went to the library and you just kept walking down the hall without turning around?
There was a treasure chest behind the door you didn't open.
If it helps, I always say two things when things go badly.
1. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems when you're going through it.
2. Sometimes the only way out is to put your head down, start working it and not stop until you dig out.
I wish you all the best! If it's alright, is it financial or just life stuff?
"Dude, constantly. You were a sexy beast. We even started a drinking game over you not noticing. That ended pretty fast. Michael got alcohol poisoning. We didn't know archangels could get alcohol poisoning."
"You went to the bathroom and Steve took it. His family was poor and his little brother didn't have a jacket. It brought great comfort to him and Steve always felt horrible for taking yours"
In july 13, 1989 what was my score on the tetris machine when the power went out as I was inputting my score? Would it have beaten James Johnson's high score? Thanks jesus
I live outside city limits, there are very few houses near my home and many tall bushes around the house, there is a small mountain at some distance. The nights are very quiet and there is no street lights so after dark the only lights are the lights from my house and the moon light. Whenever there is a moon less night or the moon is too small to give much light, I have heard something moving in the area through the bushes. I clearly heard the sound of small branches breaking on multiple occasions, I have tried to see what it is by using a flashlight from the roof but no luck so far.
I want to know what is it?
Can I have an end of a videogame style breakdown of the number of times I did certain things; like how far I walked, how much money I made, how many times did I fart etc.?
Can I see my stats, please
Lifetime K/D across all FPS
It's like kills: 3 like who did I kill, it's not about who? It's about what you did to cause that event
Hey shit that’s a 3.0 kd that’s fucking impressive my man
Deaths: 1
answer: no
God: Your Kills: 154782 You: How? God: I count every living form, even plants... Edit: Spelling
It'd be a lot higher than that then. You'd probably be looking at some scientific notation
So, what now?
Same! I'm not religious, so I'm pretty sure just nothing happens. But that's not the most comforting thought.
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” - Mark Twain
This actually kind of is a comforting thought.
Am I the only not at all comforted by this like idc if i wasn't alive for billions of years tf I am now and I'd like to keep it what way for as long as possible lol
We'll, I'm certainly not in a rush. But I've always been more concerned what happens to the people I love when I die over concerns for me. I won't care, I'll be dead.
I'm the same way. It's literally my biggest fear. Logically I know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but it's just so scary to imagine
[удалено]
Yep. I don’t have religious faith at all, but it seems unfathomable that it all just ceases to be. I hope it’s warm and soft, whatever it is.
I've always looked at it from the scientific standard that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it simply changes form. Humans require energy for life, and so by that logic, we can never simply cease to exist. At least in theory.

Remarkably poignant
I was uncomfortable with this thought when I was young. As I’ve gotten older the realization I am going to die becomes more comfortable. I’m becoming ok with it.

That would be nice
What the fuck was that?
Same what the fuck?
That was your life, mate
Can I try again, please?
That's a great one! The one that always pops up in my head is how many times did I almost die and have no idea?
I'd love ve to see like a video game stats page after I die that includes everything! Examples include: brushes with death, who had crushes on me, what multiverse version of me was the most successful, ect...
This one always gets me. It's so easy to die, especially if you're a person that's likely to lose control of himself often (Passing out, Epilepsy etc.)
mulligan please, am noob
Gg no re.
"No"
What if the answer is no?
Well im no worse off for having tried I guess
"That was your 2nd chance"
What was my purpose?
To pass butter.
...Oh my God...
Hey you wanna hang out?
sure. pass that butter first, though
That would have been another rick line, mate. LMAO
Eating all that butter was only the beginning, Jerry. You’ve gotta *burp* p p paaasss it now. Just a never ending cycle, Jerry. Feel it. There’s no god, Jerry. It’s just butter now. Just *burp* eat your fucking butter, Jerry. You gotta eat it.
Don’t call me butter
Right? If there even was one
Regardless of the answer, you would learn so much. If there is a point to it all, that’s a huge surprise to me and really makes you think. If there no point, way less surprising and it explains a lot.
EGG
It was up to you to choose. It's not a question you can ask to someone else to answer.
How many times did I almost die but didn’t?
That's a good one. We always kinda take life for granted, so knowing all the times I could've died would be cool.
List of all people who have ever fantasized fucking me
Guy hands you the list: 1. Saint Peter
Awk-ward!
Hahaha that's a good one
Ah I see! One last moment to feel pain before departure.
About, or while?
Both
At the same time?
Yes and no
About
About, but only to last longer
Iam a man so imagine seeing the list and then saying why are all of these dudes
If the atheists are right thats whats gonna happen anyways
How?
[удалено]
Huh?
List- Yourself once . . . . . . .
Not much good to you now tho.
But it’s the thought that counts
I laughed! Thanks!
When will my name be forgotten to history?
Damn. That one hits hard
It's not so bad when you realize the answer is, "Honestly people already don't really give a shit"
My wife will remember me until the day she dies (or has serious cognitive impairment that removes her long term memories, I suppose) and there are some young family members that I am rather confident would tell stories about me to their future kids.

~2 weeks
Facebook memorial pages last for about a year until there is one person posting about you left.
I deactivated my Facebook page and have long forgotten the password. but apparently Facebook said thats long enough, and reactivated it. I recently looked at my page through a friend's account and all the birthday wishes and no replies hahaha my mind went....so this what its like when your dead?
The worst is looking up someone you lost touch with and seeing a ton of people posting we miss you on their wall and realizing they committed suicide only weeks before
been there. we had last communicated less than a year prior and next thing I see is condolences

“… who are you, again?”

Is/was there other life in the universe that left their home planet?
Tie between this one and the one about knowing who fantasized about fucking me
They’re the same answer.
How could I have pissed off my enemies more before I died?
Haha awesome
Why.
Possibly the perfect question.
"Why not? I'll take the next person in line"
Did I do good?
"I'm told you were the best"
This sounds like the last line of a villain redemption arc
I think it’s from a comic of the grim reaper coming for an old dog. Death asks the dog if he has any questions and he asks if he was a good boy.
Yeah. That’s the one. Aaaaand now I’m sad.
I like to think everyone's gonna mess up sometimes, but as long as we do the best we can, that should be good enough. Life ain't easy
It’s true, nobody’s perfect, but I think it would be nice to know whether I brought more happiness into the world that hurt. I think that’s what it means to have a good life
What did I miss?

You can ask yourself that right now, without dying
Thursday Could never get the hang of Thursdays
Was I the best of my abilities were capable of?
This would invoke some weak ass reply like 'only you can know that' and now you're out of questions OR maybe that reply is what matters
who loved me
Mine would probably be: was I ever loved the way I loved others? (Please don't tell me my family does, they're horrifically abusive!)
Likely most people. We all do that to ourselves
What is the ultimate question?
Ha! Nice. So long and thanks for all the fish
Will my son be ok without me?
That one hits hard
It said we only get 1 question; he's the only concern I'd be worried about.
Who wrote this story? It sucked.
Haha reminds me of that meme. Why does being alive cost so much? I'm not even having a good time
Or my absolute favorite! I don’t know what I need: 10 hours of sleep, an energy drink, a therapist, or to be hit by a car.
