Jumping to the grave could save him some death latency issues.
My missus always leaves her MacBook overhanging the edge of surfaces like this and then does Surprised Pikachu Face when it falls off, complaining about how slippy the case is.

The sarcastically-packaged wisdom in this post is important. Thank you for sharing this, OP.

Same. Definitely has that vibe.
A jail nearby is next to one. It's very depressing.
Is that where the jail buries prisoners whose family dont take the body?
I think so tbh, there isn't a church there.
Just one of the many things that sucks about the local County Day Care
Damn I wish we had stuff like this in the states. We're so weird about death
US doesn't have graveyards? Do you just burn your dead
they just pile up on the sidewalks. Which is why you can't just walk everywhere. It's all just completely covered in piles of corpses
Generally, they will move the graveyard is there's nearby construction. They need to get permission from the next of kin to do it though. There's one semi-famous example in New Jersey where they could not find any next of kin for a single grave and ended up building around it. There's also one graveyard that's been cut right in half by a highway.
American's value capitalism more then the Japanese respect their dead, so it's not hard to convince Americans to truck their ancestors around.

I find it odd that we doubt the afterlife.
This is a universe where nothing is ever truly created or destroyed, merely changing form from one thing to another.
And yet the view we associate with "Science!" is that conciousness is the one exception? What makes you think you're so special that the universe will only experience you for a limited time? You're not a happy meal promotion, you're as immortal as everything else.
Information is destroyed all the time, conciousness is just information, and will cease to exist in a meaningful form when the structure of matter hosting it (your body, and in particular your brain) ceases to function in a way that supports that.
The energy that motivated your body and acted as signals in your brain will disipate. Your actual matter will stick around in one form or another. After all, we are all "star stuff", and given long enough, our "stuff" will return to the universe at large.
You just angered all quantum physicists everywhere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-hiding_theorem
How do you define consciousness?
If it's any kind of complex system, then of course it can be permanently destroyed. The same way that a computer or a building or a car can be destroyed and not exist anymore, even if its physical components still do.
And if consciousness is a material or an energy or something real, what's the evidence that it even exists? Why do you believe it exists?I believe it is something simple we do not yet have the capacity to measure and that which can not be recreated as an AI.
Why do I believe it exists? Because I experience it constantly.
I am going to tell you something based on a true story about a spring in Rome believed to cure disease. For centuries even after the fall of the Empire fell people flocked to it believing the Gods blessed it with healing properties.
The scientific minded said bad to the whole thing and assumed it nothing but a legend that fools took stock in. However people continued to come and be healed, no one could explain it.
Until the invention of the Geiger Counter and the discovery of radiation.
The legend had been true all along. The spring had been mildly radioactive! It was killing off what was killing the patrons!
No one had anyway of knowing until suddenly they did.
I believe conciousness to be a similar story that we haven't seen the end of. Perhaps free will is one as well.
I don't know about "afterlife" as in heaven or hell. I do think that there's some sort of energy not yet possible to measure with current technology. Some energy that goes on and form a part of a different living being. Not as in "reincarnation" where its based on some sort of "diety" or "karma", but just pure randomness. Now you're a human, maybe later your energy (or "soul") goes into an insect, or a cat (oh I love to become a cat). Humans couldn't see radiowaves for millions of years, perhaps the "soul" is just something we haven't developed the technology to see yet.
But for now, we can't prove it, so its just philosophy at this point, not scientific. Maybe we'll become some other living being again, maybe not, who knows...
I personally believe we're just energy that drifts when we die, and inhabit something else, over and over again. Kinda depressing when you really think about it. Forever cused to just die over and over again.
I find it odd that we doubt the afterlife.
Most people don't, unfortunately.
How do you define consciousness? How do you define "you"?
I believe that consciousness is simply an emergent property of our brain. Without the brain, there is no consciousness. A brain can be destroyed, just like a hard drive can be destroyed. Sure, the atoms are still there, but the "you" inside of them is as good as gone.
The problem with Emergentism is that it doesn't really have evidence beyond throwing our hands up and going "We can't find anything in there that causes it but we see there's conciousness. So... it just emerges somehow"
It's just "spontaneous generation" (what people believed before Germ Theory) for the brain. It's very "God of the Gaps" in a way.
I'd sooner put stock into the Orch-OR theory than take emergentism too seriously.
It's 50/50 for me. I think with what we know about science it seems pretty clear that we end when we die. And with all that we DON'T know about science it seems just as possible that consciousness is eternal.
It took me a while to find, but stuff like this research from Yale, reviving organs and brain function long after the point of death, makes it apparent that what it means to die is just as complex a question as what makes us us.
I wish Boost didn't crash every time I save an image, because I definitely have people to send this to..
