That is what happens when you consume dihydrogen monoxide daily. No one has survived after drinking it.

[-] Jamie@jamie.moe 18 points 9 months ago

Oxygen makes iron turn into rust, don't let that be your lungs. Oppose Big Oxygen.

[-] roanescence@mstdn.social 4 points 9 months ago

@Jamie @slazer2au Big oxygen is crazy 💀😭

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

And those fuckers give it to us as soon as we're born, ensuring our inevitable demise

What a sick cruel twisted world

[-] stck@sopuli.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

Around seven percent of people who've consumed dihydrogen monoxide have survived.

[-] ArianaGrande@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

It has a higher pH level than any known acid!!!

[-] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 27 points 9 months ago

Might as well fucking go for it.

[-] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Looking good! The t-shirt as well.

[-] chepox@sopuli.xyz 20 points 9 months ago

Has anyone in their 30s 40s 50s had a sudden change of perception of our own mortality? I found myself thinking a lot about it recently (no significant events around me). I just find life so ephemeral now as compared to how I used to see life so grand and long it might as well have been infinite. Not anymore. I guess it's part of growing old. Anyone else feel similar?

[-] 6mementomori@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

in my case it happened much sooner, at 16 to be exact

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 months ago

Yep. IMO it's a good thing. But there's still a grand and long scale: how is that we arrived here at all, a momentary ripple in a larger fabric?

You will someday lose your life, but try not to mope. You did get it for free, after all.

[-] db2@sopuli.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

Childhood is the free trial, adulthood is the subscription that keeps increasing in cost.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Could you not, right now? I'm literally just about to sign a new lease.

[-] bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

Not moping. I AM ALIVE

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I intend to live forever, thank you very much

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Me too. We should get to know each other. Eventually. We have time.

WE'RE DOOMED!

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

What I feel isn't existential dread of my pending non-existance. What I feel is FOMO.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

What I feel is a need to fire arrows into the future, that I know will fly further than my small personal life, that will land somewhere and sprout huge trees that people live around and under.

[-] Kissaki@feddit.de 9 points 9 months ago

You're screaming in the shower?

[-] AceBonobo@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

You're not???

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I refused. Y'all know you can opt out, right? Don't ask how. That's not allowed.

[-] who8mydamnoreos@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Life is finite, but shit it feels like forever

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

It’s longer than the longest time you’ve ever experienced.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 9 months ago

Unless you happen to live an entire simulated lifetime because of an alien probe.

[-] Donnywholovedbowling@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

But do I get to learn and inherit an instrument?

[-] handofdumb@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

The days are long but the years are short, it’s been said.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Is it weird that I've become less existencial with age? Like back in school I struggled with suicidal thoughts and couldn't cope with the "meaninglessness" of it all. But honestly these days I'm content just living how I like to and enjoying the simple things

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Not weird, happened to me too.

I think my brain got bored of it and moved on. Plenty more to do than attempt to answer the unanswerable question!

[-] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Maybe? I never really grew out of it, my brain just realized that emotions don't solve problems and stopped bothering me about it all the time. Though, my fears are more along the lines of forcefully being prevented from dying, rather than the alternative. Still get the chills whenever I imagine having dementia and not being allowed to kill myself.

I'm not suicidal anymore, but still. There are things I'd rather choose the forever-sleep than experience.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Well stop imagining that then!

[-] FiFoFree@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Speak for yourself.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

First time having thoughts of death?

It's fine, you'll get used to it. Making a movie about it helps.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Yep. In the grand scheme it’s pretty much already happened. I mean sure, you get a little bit of time to say your goodbyes and enjoy some final yayas. How are you going to use it?

Welp, back to work.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Personally I am living on indefinitely as an information ghost.

We're all dying at different speeds

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Except that guy that fell into the black hole. He just looks frozen.

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Hopefully it’s a cool death, like a public beheading or a space travel accident.

Knowing my luck it’ll be death from boredom or something..

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Why not both?

Why not a mysterious spinning saw blade that’s been in orbit for ten years that comes out of nowhere while you’re giving a space walk and talk to a bunch of other astronauts, slices your head off, and is out of radar range before anyone grasps what’s happening.

So astronomically fast is this saw blade traveling that it imparts almost no momentum to your head, except a gentle nudge that sends your grimacing head slowly upward. It gets almost a foot away from your shoulders before people realize something is wrong.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

You didn't have this realization at like 5 years old?

[-] debounced@kbin.run 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Except for me
You know why?

'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
