Don't worry, it's just there until your bofy decomposes and is eaten by the worms. Then over enough time, the wood will rot away leaving your skeleton which in turn will slowly fossilise and then when the sun expands in 5 ~~million~~ billion years time, the earth will be scorched and then obliterated and your remnants will return to the stars until the universe keeps expansion until no atom of matter can interact with another and the universe fades out.

Just enjoy the absurdity of it all or get believing in a sky daddy. Either way you won't have to worry about the forever box.

Edit: whoops, was off by ~~1~~ 3 orders of magnitude.

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

Three orders of magnitude. 1->10 is one order. 1->100 is two. And so on.

Isn't that 5 billion years? 5 million is pretty fast

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Correct, my mistake lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Well, ackhually, that's three orders of magnitude.

Bones often degrade pretty fast once they are unprotected. If the soil is acidic, those bones are gone, just a matter of time.

Wait really? I wanted to be tied to a young tree and have my skeleton be merged with it:

The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position ... strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excarnation

I was kind of hoping my descendents would be able to find the tree and see my skull staring out at them from halfway inside a tree. Are you saying this won't work?

[–] HikingVet 10 points 2 days ago

If the conditions are right it can work. But there is a reason we aren't tripping over the bones of billions of people and animals.

yay for infinite nothingness! (Except that infinite stretches of time in a probability-oriented universe tend to lead to funny effects down the road and even the most remote chances of literally anything possible happening practically become 100% instantaneously when dealing with such time-spans, so more likely than not, the moment you die you wake up in some entirely new, equally improbable and inscrutable type of reality with no memory of what happened before, and there's no guarantee that such an experience will be better or worse than your present one. I mean, it happened at least once before that we know of, so it stands to reason this is normal.)
