Just the title. Heavens? Hells? Purgatory? Nothing? Become one with the universe? Reincarnation?
Bonus question: If you could design the system of your choice, what would you want?
Same thing that happened before you were born. It’s terrifying but I’m pretty sure it’s just nothing. The human mind is just a production of our little meat computers. No computer no mind.
If it was up to me I’d want to give people some kind of like, system. I’d want something like a personalized heaven, maybe a few ghosts. Another realm beyond this one.
There should be some reason to be good in this world. The system should disincentive being a real piece of shit. Not sure how, not big in eternal punishment even if you really suck.
If I died and God was like “Yeah it’s cool wanna go live another life in the world from your favorite stories?” That’d be tight.
Maybe some real freaky multiverse shit, every time something dies with a soul it gets its own divergent universe. All things being an infinitely spanning tree.
Nothing happens. But if i had the choice, I like the story “the egg”. I also would love to drop into spectator mode and be able to wander the earth and watch humanity flourish. Maybe some very minor ways to help guide humanity would be nice to…
Straight out of an FPS. But I can see the appeal, if your assumption of flourish is founded.
Same thing that was happening before I was conceived.
Your parents fucking is a weird way to envision the afterlife.
Just you having to watch a HHHHHD full immersion gif of the moments of your father’s final strokes as he pumps his cock into your mom.
The only thing more embarrassing than watching my birth video was watching the conception video
Good think it’s blocked behind an OF paywall
Not at our house. Come on over!
That video paid for your diapers.

You do not “become” one with the universe - you already are. 🧘🏻♂️
It’s more correct to say that you cease to wear the mask that temporarily differentiated you.
Good philosophy. I like.
The same thing that happened before I was born
Since I’m not religious, the most logical answer is probably nothing. We simply cease to exist.
Obviously though, I won’t know until it happens.
Will you know when /after it happens?
If it is indeed a state of nothingness, then I won’t know anything has happened as it’ll be theoretically impossible to perceive it.
I just hope I get to hug my dog again
Fucking real
Me too.
Your brain stops and your body rots.
This seems like the extremely obvious answer. Anything else is unlikely.
We just die and then we’re gone. Reincarnation could be a comforting idea while we’re alive, but even if it’s real, we’ll never know.
Brain gets no more blood. Neural biochemistry breaks down. Brain dies. You die. That’s it. Except for some incoherent and contradictory texts from bronze-age books or wishful thinking by naive people, there is ZERO scientific evidence that heaven or reincarnation exist. Even Buddha never suggested we would reincarnate, that was an idea added later by some of his followers. The bible is very flimsy on the entire concept of hell and heaven.
Hell was also invented much later by Dante.
no? only his idea of hell, not hell itself
damn, then I’m scared to die, because what does it feel like to stop existing?😰
Do you remember what it was like before you were born?
Its probably exactly that.
It doesn’t feel like anything. You don’t exist anymore, so you can’t feel.
A bit like the situation before your birth.
“incoherent and contradictory”
“flimsy”
sources?

I don’t think there’s an afterlife, but I can hope that there is one. Just being a specter and getting to explore the universe until the end of time would be cool. Realistically, it’s probably just nothingness, unless somehow our brains are capable of creating an infinite dream for us.
Have you ever been knocked out before? Instant time travel into the future. Probably something like that without the ringing sound in your head from whatever hit you. Oh, and also that you never wake up.
I like the idea of reincarnation, but maybe it’s my antitheist limited brain, transitioning to a creature with vastly different intelligence or central nervous system seems like the me I am still ceases to exist. Same vibes doesn’t even really check out when folks with brain ailments go through massive personality changes and I wouldn’t ever expect someone to “maintain their vibe” through that change.
The same thing that happened before I was born.
I know the ones who love us will miss us.
Nothing.
Your “perspective,” your view of the world, and all of consciousness, is an illusion maintained by your brain. Death is no different than turning a machine off and disassembling it.
I will say, the human ability to make conscious choices is really something special.
Your “afterlife” is the hole you leave behind. It’s the impact you leave on the world, and how others remember you.
