I just hope the public is wising up to this. I swear, most people seem to think the wealthy still hold dollars, and can’t price inflation into loans. www.wtfhappenedin1971.com
Legitimately interesting fact. I was recently in Halifax and wandered the Old Burying Ground, really neat place. Weird to think there’s nothing under those stones.
What prevents you from living this way? If the main plus you’re seeing is “easier to clean”, I assume that means you’ve got more furniture and such. What’s stopping you from getting rid of everything except what’s pictured?
I’d rather have that than be preserved for centuries. I honestly prefer cremation to burial. Heck, feed me to the birds for all I care, just let me unexist completely.
There’s a sort of solace in that. That one day I’ll completely cease to exist. I don’t know why religious people like the idea of eternal life. I’d very much prefer not to exist after a while.
I do like the idea of eternal life, but I also like the idea of my earthly remains – be that all that exist sof me or not – being absorbed back into the earth when I’m gone. That doesn’t seem so bad.
I got to tour a terramation (human composting) facility a little while back. You come out in a few burlap sacks of mulch. They even threw in some wicked t shirts.
The atoms that you are made of will not cease to exist until our sun explodes and makes them into something else.
You will either get buried and rot into sustenance for worms and bacteria or you will get cooked into carbon and calcium to be spread out and become intermixed with the soil.
So will everyone that currently exists barring nuclear annihilation. I find solace that my atoms will maybe be a tree or a bird or even just grass.
The sun isn’t massive enough to explode. It will just expand and get hotter, making Earth too hot to support life, and then burn out, making Earth too cold to support life. And even a supernova probably won’t destroy atoms. Most of our atoms will probably survive the ‘death’ of the sun.
I thought the sun will become a red giant, and the earth will eventually be pulled into the sun. Which I believe will still leave most of our atoms intact.
My favorite Halifax fun fact: In 1917, a munitions ship exploded in Halifax Harbor. To commemorate the event, the City Council created ‘Splodey, the Halifax explosion mascot.
In addition, each public broadcast of Shaggy’s “Mr. Boombastic” is followed by a moment of silence
Literally my apartment when I was making 6 figures. Women be like “I don’t date poor dudes”. I’m like “lol just because I don’t blow my entire paycheck on Barre, Whole Foods, and shitty brand new apartment with paper thin walls doesn’t make me poor”
Rather it is because you don’t do those things that you are not. I personally still like to have at least a box spring, but for the most part my bedroom is, well, a room that I put my bed in. I don’t understand the need for $1,000 of pillows that we aren’t allowed to actually sleep with overly fancy blankets that look nice in a photo but aren’t anywhere near as comfortable as a cheap down blanket at Costco.
Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy things looking nice, but there has to be some value to the item other than just it looks nicer. Function over form ideally function with form but in the bedroom form rarely follows function
Because I still need it to access older repair guides and ask people on fixing stuff from cars and household things to study material and that community simply isn’t as big here. I use lemmy with boost much more but I still use some services on reddit outside of that nothing else to do on there. So no need to judge, you are expecting a 5m community to have as much information and technical knowhow as a 150m user base. You can have a ferarri 458 you occasionally use when needed for the track ay and still daily a toyota prius.
