A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If a tunnel boring machine were installed facing downward in a cemetery, you wouldn't need to expand the cemetery (lemm.ee)

Just have it drill downward, put some more dirt on the coffins, add another layer of coffins, and repeat!

Ah, I see, your main issue is specifically with the burying? I assumed you had a problem with any kind of disposal that is not literally using the body for fuel/resources or just trashing it.

yeah, i understand why humans used to do it long ago. but, nowadays, it's just a huge waste of valuable space which could be put to far better use. used to live near a gigantic cemetery, and whenever i passed it, all i could think of is what a lovely park it would make, or some affordable housing, perhaps.
