I cancelled plans once with the excuse that I had to take care of my grandmother.

I wiped her urn off with an anti bacterial wipe, and played videogames.

Still a better teammate than most random queues.

If any of my relatives ever read this, you have my full permission to do whatever stupid shit with my ashes you want, the stupider the better. Or if you want to dunk on or generally make a joke out of my passing, that's encouraged too. It would be a nice send-off.

I would much rather people have a laugh, and some relief than the usual horrible process of grieving...

What's ironic is it's usually the type of people with your type of attitude that I miss and grieve for the most.

Has anyone tried baking with it? I'd make you into pie and let it in too long, so you get cremated twice.

As a matter of fact, yes. A few cultures have or do practice Endocannibalism as a death ritual.

When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, "Doc in a box."

I have a close friend who's dad very suddenly passed away within the past 2 months and was cremated. I shared this with them on chat. They laughed. I'm still alive...for now.

If this was true, I bet his dad would’ve laughed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Bet his mum didn’t though.

Ive got some other dark memes I'd like to share, not sure where the community draws the line lol

I don't think Lemmy is ban happy like reddit. I've got into it w/ a lot of people here and nothing has been deleted nor have I gotten a warning/suspension.

I'm sure there is a line (threats of personal hart/calls to violence) but those are areas 98% of the world never goes.

Wonder if it’s a DOT requirement to have it labeled like that. Or so that people don’t steal your dad.
