I’d like to become a tree.
First, don’t spend money on it. That is the most important. Second, if possible make something useful of my body, like donating to science. I listened to a podcast about this “cemetery” that is a research facility and they let the bodies decompose in a variety of situations to study the process. Third, don’t do any funeral or rituals and that includes keeping a cemetery lapid or stuff like that.
One exception is if someone wants to do something really funny and weird, like the guy that wanted his skull preserved and the rest made into two diamonds that would be fitted to the skull and to be kept like in the living room to judge everyone or something.
Thrown in a ditch
When I read the question, I immediately heard Frank Reynolds saying “when I’m dead, just throw me in the trash”. Lol
Resurrected or uploaded.
If it is possible for the mind to survive the death of the body, I also think uploading would be fine. It’s a risk to be sure, but not having a body would actually address a lot of my current disappointments.
If resurrection is possible, I’d like to think the death could be prevented. But, I’ll take it if uploading is not available and death of the body is still inevitable.
Makes me wonder what the experience would be like for the mind being uploaded. Do you feel like you have a body? Can you change what that body is? And before you do anything fun with that new hot body, you should know that anywhere you can go is still in a simulation, so you can be tracked and observed at all times.
Speaking of that, can you adapt to the concept of “being somewhere” becoming meaningless?
I think you can have a POV without having a body, and you can “be somewhere” based on your POV rather than your body.
But, I also think that probably not the only reasonable guess at what the uploaded experience is like.
install doom on me
What are your specs?
Toaster.
I don’t personally care. Burials and other ceremonies are for the living. I’d prefer something that doesn’t harm our environment and to donate as many organs as possible, but that’s pretty much it.
I like what you said about being a tree. I may steal that.
I don’t have kids. I plan to leave my assets to a charity. Probably something for animals but I haven’t really planned that far ahead yet.
Right on.
I don’t give a fuck because I’m dead and won’t be there to see it.
Do whatever you want with my corpse.
Take what someone else can use (not sell), chuck the rest in a hole in the ground in the middle of the woods.
I want to be explosively shot into space go back to being stardust.
Not my problem… Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.
We’re gonna make you into a real horse chandelier then.
Medical school.
this, take whatever organs you find useful. leave the rest to decay in the wilderness somewhere
Feed me to the mushrooms.
I’m an organ donor, but I suspect my organs won’t be worth much by the time I’m done with them.
I don’t care it’s not my body anymore. The people left behind can decide.
Literally just throw me in a ditch idgaf as long as my body is allowed to naturally decay and recycle the energy back into the ecosystem.
Stop locking bodies in boxes that take decades to decay.
Whatever is cheapest/easiest for my family.
