Deep Thoughts (shower thoughts ok too but no Pit stuff)

I want one of those tree burials, or a compost burial.

[Skipper44]

you don't want your cremains to be purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

That lake is too expensive for my remains.

[Dugout DickStone]

I don't really care what happens to my body after I die. Like at all really. Within reason anyway, i don't want to be just thrown in the street. If I was forced to choose, my answer would be whatever my kids want. If my kids make me say, i'd say cremate and spread me around some place cool. Some in my family are obsessed with this. They want very specific grave sites, stones, positions, etc. They also want me to choose like right now where I want to be and get frustrated when I say I don't want to be in a giant box in the ground with a big shrine above me. I think its ridiculous. They really get mad when I say things like, "what if all those people under there were wrong and are just trapped down there forever instead of being spread out and being part of a tree or something".

My mother's side of the family has pre-purchased plots and my mom reminded me the other day she has one at Sunset next to her parents and that her entire funeral was paid for and I was like okay, that is good I guess but dang

Then donate your organs!!

Seriously, maybe let your residual cells and tissues have a purpose?

I definitely have that on my DL

I think Sid from Toy Story kind of a raw deal. Like this kid is just out here making art. How is he supposed to know the toys are sentient beings? They shouldn’t be

He destroyed his sister’s dolls you monster.

Kids got an absentee father (presumably). He’s had a rough go of it so far in life. He processes that frustration through the medium of sculpture. If I’m a monster then I’m the compassion monster

Is there something about refrigerators that necessitates they be magnetic? Like in order to properly thermally decouple the inside from the outside a magnetic field was needed? Or do you think back in 1897 when Tómas Refrige invented his namesake appliance that he was like “ya know what? That’s some valuable real estate right there let’s magnetize this bad boy so we can hang up our kids shitty artwork”

Notes from OP:
I completely made up all of that stuff about the invention of the refrigerator I have no idea when it was invented or by whom

Remember those old fridges back in the day that closed with a latch on the outside? Turns out a bunch of kids were crawling inside them and suffocating, because you could only open them from the outside. Congress passed a law mandating that fridges be openable from the inside. All (nearly all?) modern fridges accomplish that task by utilizing magnetic force to keep fridges shut while still being able to open them from the inside.

[BIG APPLE CAT]

This is the reason I pay for gEpremium

[stunted]

but who closed the latch on those kids? sounds like a murder

[Spracne]

Keep in mind this was before Roe v. Wade (NOT TRYING TO DO PIT STUFF HERE). But really, if you were to pull the door shut, it would latch on its own.

Boomers today: I can’t believe you would willingly subject your children to the dangers of vaccines.

Boomers back them: hmm did I leave my unsupervised three year old  in the fridge this morning? No…I’m like 80% sure of it.

maybe this is one of those things where people laugh at you if you say it, like thinking you can beat serena williams or land a plane when the pilot dies or whatever, but i could get out.

You’d never fit in the first place you ogre

you'd have a better chance vs serena or landing a plane than getting out of an old timey refrigerator with a latched door

[Rage Against the McKee]

That ruined the 4th Indiana Jones movie for me. No way that old man would be able to get out of that fridge with a latched door.

Lies have no power unless they are believed; thus, lies are finite, being that false beliefs are temporal. On the other hand, truth is eternal; for even if truth is disbelieved, it still remains true.  Truth having the virtue of being reality, will become evident; for the power of truth is that it forever remains true. It may be hidden, forgotten, or distorted, but it cannot be destroyed even as circumstances change, however, in time, truth will be made manifest.

The power of lies rests only in their potential as a perception of truth, and there are lies that can for a season imitate the truth and even affect reality if they are believed. However, in the end, lies cannot sustain themselves and only truth shall remain.

There are lot of good ones of that. To me it's wild that you could easily be born before the revolutionary war and live to see the civil war. To be born before the civil war and see WW2. Those are long lives but very possible. Just the changes in culture/tech/fashion/etc are as wild as the on you proposed.

You could have conceivably been born when horses were the primary means of personal transportation and lived to see e-commerce. Lots of mind-bottling ways to phrase the point.

My grandma was born in 1911(I think, plus or minus) and died in 2008.  It's wild that horses were still a widely used mode of transportation, and in her lifetime we got TV, color TV, the mass adaptation to cars, diesel trains, commercial air travel, invented the internet, the cell phone, the smart phone, and went to the rough ridin' moon. 

That blows my mind. 

I imagine ppl in her cohort woke up every day, read the paper, and was like, "What?  No rough ridin' way!"
