Buried in the ground we´re walking on. Millions of people that have lived before us, now only skeletons in coffins or buried in unofficial places without a coffin. Skeletons can stay in tact for hundreds of years before finally decomposing. I think I´m gonna beburnedafter I´m dead (forgot the word), especially after reading that below.


"So without blood, the most active, oxygen-guzzling organs and tissues go first. And the results are...moist. Because the cells that make up those organs and tissues are 70% water. Without oxygen to keep them alive, the cells self-destruct, spilling all that fluid onto the coffin floor."

"From about day two to four, the microbes are everywhere. And they're producing toxic gases, like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, which will expand and cause your body to not only bloat, but stink."

"After three or four months, your yellow-green complexion has turned brownish-black because your blood vessels have deteriorated to the point that the iron inside them spills out, becoming brownish-black as it oxidizes. Also around this time, the molecular structures that hold your cells together break away, so your tissues collapse into a watery mush."


By 50 years in, your tissues will have liquefied and disappeared, leaving behind mummified skin and tendons. Eventually these too will disintegrate, and after 80 years in that coffin, your bones will crack as the soft collagen inside them deteriorates, leaving nothing but the brittle mineral frame behind. But even that shell won't last forever.

"A century in, the last of your bones will have collapsed into dust. And only the most durable part of your body, your teeth, will remain. Teeth, grave wax, and some nylon threads."

lots of poop too

phuck that. I´m gonna get cremated or whatever it´s called. I won´t put up with this
Turning into ash dust is far better imo. Not really, but it sounds better.

You described Nancy Pelosi to a T!

The Zoroastrians leave their dead in an open round pit for vultures to feed on

I made a thread last week about how it's mind-blowing that we still use cemeteries. I'll be cremated once my time here is done

I'd rather be turned into fertilizer than carbon emissions.

Jokes on decomposing, I'm gonna have my coffin vacuum sealed and have the bottom be 1/2 water with an externally-powered but sealed pump which keeps the coffin super humid. My cells will remain moist and will never decompose.

Gonna mummymaxx for all eternity.

I want to be entombed in a gold sarco****us, buried with all my treasures under a monumental pyramid.

Reminder that death is coming for all of us. Maybe sooner than you think. Death always delivers.

You could always try to mummify yourself while you're still alive if you've got the nuts for it.

Eh most cases decomposition takes about 20 years in normal burials. Most American burials will cause them to last a bit longer because of the idiotic desires to preserve the body. I already have my end plans laid out. No burial for me. A different form of cremation actually. Not too expensive, takes about a day and boom I'm all done.

Yeah crazy man I cant wait to hear what half baked profundity you come up with next

There are ghost towns and lost ships and narvaez expedition artifacts etc in Florida state owned property (public land) and they sell the rights to the highest bidder to rape our history. But if you even literally move a rock you will get a felony charge. srs not even talking about metal detecting, you can get arrested for moving a rock on florida state park land.

You always up in my threads yo. Thanks for the bump tho

It's amusing

you´re amusing. As in your intelligence is amusing

I am also kind of weirded out by the concept of cemeteries. Especially when cities are encroaching on them, and clearly land is at a premium... I mean eventually that earth is going to be developed.

There are more people alive on earth today than have ever lived. So cemeteries are just not sustainable unless they become like a garbage dump. We don't have enough land for everyone to get a nice comfy 10x10 plot of land.
