its called a “nothingness void” for a reason
The void is fine, its actually preferable to the other stated alternatives. I fear the pain on my way there, and the pain my absence may bring to those I care for
Live is a drug, once you try it, you cant have enough
I prefer to say it’s habit forming. Better captures the battle with with the parts of you that want to quit
A common saying on Roman tombs/graves:
Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo; often abbreviated as NFFSNNC.
It means, ‘I was not, I was, I am not, I care not.’

If nonexistence was temporary before birth, surely it won’t be temporary after birth
Yeah it’ll be a hella long time before your mind molecules come together again, sure
But you won’t feel how long it was. You’ll just be born again with a new and different existence
Time goes to infinity, which means that there is a 100% chance of it happening again in any given amount of time
Assumes the universe can’t reach a static state that it remains in forever. Final shape, if you will.
You talking about the inevitable heat death of the universe?
Yeah there’s a 100% chance that it won’t stay like that. Just a matter of time until whatever caused the atoms and energies to become clumpy and imperfect is going to do it again in some big or small way. There’s no beginning and end to the universe, which means that it has existed for an infinite amount of time, which also means that heat deaths have happened before
Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Everything has already happened and will always happen, over and over again in incomprehensible stretches of time that the human brain is not capable of quantifying
One day you will be a green pigeon with legs made of beans, who is the president of basketball planet. Everything has happened before and will happen again, just like anything ever
cosmology is an interesting subject, and what you’re describing is a cyclic model of cosmology like is typical in hinduistic literature. however, physics points in a different direction, indicating that the universe is in fact continuously expanding, which is a non-reversible process.
the exact long-term fate of the universe is not 100% guaranteed. surely “heat death” is a possibility, but renewable energy exists on cosmological scales, so an intelligent species could utilize this possibility to build energy-harvesting machines that keep civilization running indefinitely.
We get it. You have infinity as your denominator and that takes you literally everywhere. However I must point out that if everything must happen “everything” includes an infinite unending static state to the universe. This is not a contradiction as we know some infinites are larger than others. Right after I am a green goose with a candy whistle for a dick, a permanent heat death of the universe will be the next thing to occur.
being dead is fine
it’s the dying part that’ll kill ya
Because now I know the difference and… I don’t want to go.
Oof. Right through the heart.
Well no, I haven’t experienced it. Experiencing something is only possible with some kind of sensory organ - of which I had none before I developed them in this life. Not to mention any data “I” may have gathered back then was thoroughly erased so it doesn’t affect this life in any way. Which means the void might actually be endless torture and I’d have no way of knowing.
Edit: just to be clear, I’m an atheist, I don’t believe in rebirth or afterlife or souls or any such things. Just arguing for argument’s sake with the “you’ve experienced it” part that I find unconvincing :)
We have near analogies that are close enough for us to have an idea. Anesthesia, being knocked out, dreamless sleep are closest to what we would consider “experiencing” oblivion. We can correlate the lack of experience or consiousness to the what we “experienced” prior to existing.
I get what you mean though, we can experience a transition out of and into non-experience, but cannot, as a matter of course, experience non-experience. There is no good reason (by my measure) to believe that there is anything other than just non-experience in the before and after phase of life. To the individual consciousness there is no discernable difference either. The matter/energy you are made of existed prior to and will continue to exist after you are gone, all that will be left is your memetic and causal imprint on our small bubble of reality.
So my memes will live on?
It depends, are they fire?
Pretty mid, really.
I’m not afraid of being dead, it’s the actual dying that’s terrifying.
Being “part of the whole“ is such a beautiful concept. Mind, process of thought, is a prison in a sense.
After death, what once was you, will become a small part of a universe - a timeless, infinite creature. I don’t believe there’s God as a separate person - but I believe that universe itself is a God. Everchanging, everlasting chaos where everything and nothing makes sense.
To quote (or more likely paraphrase, it’s been a while) Dan from the Game Grumps … I’m not afraid of being dead. I’m afraid of dying.
I love this about bugs.
Facts does not need an apostrophe as it is neither possessing anything nor contracting with anything
That’s the name of the pub owned by Cool Bug Fact. It’s where a drunk person wearing red boxing gloves (as depicted in OP’s picture) is talking your ear off about what comes or doesn’t come after death, trying to convince themselves more than you that there’s nothing to fear.

Another reason not to fear death: pedant’s dont comment on shitpost formatting!
A very good and well soothed explanation of what happens in the process of dying:
