WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE
Might as well fucking go for it.
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?
in my case it happened much sooner, at 16 to be exact
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?
Yes, it's very common (mostly) in men at that age.
You will someday lose your life, but try not to mope. You did get it for free, after all.
Not moping. I AM ALIVE
I intend to live forever, thank you very much
Me too. We should get to know each other. Eventually. We have time.
WE'RE DOOMED!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
You're screaming in the shower?
You're not???
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
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!
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.

Well stop imagining that then!
Life is finite, but shit it feels like forever
The days are long but the years are short, it’s been said.
What I feel isn't existential dread of my pending non-existance. What I feel is FOMO.
We're all going to Bart
I meant soon.
So did I

First time having thoughts of death?
It's fine, you'll get used to it. Making a movie about it helps.
Speak for yourself.
Die well.
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.
We're all dying at different speeds
As long as you go first, I'm happy
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..
Personally I am living on indefinitely as an information ghost.
I too would like to live indefinitely as an information ghost, may I join you?
I think it comes free nowadays
You didn't have this realization at like 5 years old?
Absolutely true, use every day.
Not me
breaking news: we are all going to die
die all you bastards!!!
Except for me
You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
That is what happens when you consume dihydrogen monoxide daily. No one has survived after drinking it.
Oxygen makes iron turn into rust, don't let that be your lungs. Oppose Big Oxygen.
@Jamie @slazer2au Big oxygen is crazy 💀😭
And those fuckers give it to us as soon as we're born, ensuring our inevitable demise
What a sick cruel twisted world
Around seven percent of people who've consumed dihydrogen monoxide have survived.
It has a higher pH level than any known acid!!!
