What bums me out about the idea of nothingness is the idea that I’ll never know what happens AFTER I’m gone. It’s like the ultimate FOMO
-
being a ghost alone is D tier but if your homies also become ghosts when they die would be S tier
-
Without your memories, reincarnation is indistinguishable from nothingness.
-
The biggest misconception with nothingness is that people tend to forget time, an infinite amount of time passes by at a blink of an eye because you no longer have any perception of time
-
imagine being born, someone drops you by accident, trips, lands on you, you die (after like 20 seconds of being born) and infinite loop happens
-
You forgot Isekai into another world
-
We need a “how the world started” tier list I.e. Darwinism, big bang, Adam and Eve, etc
-
While my buddies and I were under the influence of a considerable dosage of LSD, at one point I looked at them and said, "We're just the universe doing stuff, man. I have no reason to believe we won't continue to do so."
-
The best afterlife is the ancient Mesopotamian afterlife where everyone goes to a desert of eternal twilight and eats sand.
-
infinite loop is for sure D tier. imagine dying at birth, you're just being spawn camped for the rest of eternity
-
there better be a fucking rank screen when I die
-
"Existing is pretty epic" is the most universally acceptable and relatable quote possible
-
i feel like a perfect heaven does not allow for boredom, if it's boring it's not perfect
-
"I like existing a lot, but this is also the perspective of a guy who exists, which is definitely biased." This made me laugh
-
The best random Youtube recommendation in years.
-
bro really said he wouldn't enjoy being happy forever... you wouldn't be worried about experiencing anything else if you were truly at peace
-
I like how something as profound as life after death can be confined to something as simple as a tier list
-
this is truly one of the 3 am videos ever
-
okay so i was suicidal and i always thought that it was nothingness and that ill be in peace.Then i met this old woman who i got into a conversation with told me " okay after you die and if it nothing its good, what if you have an afterlife? can you undo what you did? " and those.words really got me thinking..
-
For me nothingness is the worst possible scenario yet the most realistic. This is what scares me so much, because I just can't imagine not existing, just being gone for eternity. And everytime I think about it I just feel hollowness and anxiety, it's so bad.
