Send all of us invitations. Will it be soon?

[Bulwyf]

Thank you for not letting me down.

I saw this headline and immediately thought of soylent green, and was hoping someone posted it quickly.

*hat tip*

I won’t be signing up for this, but what happens to my body after I leave it isn’t really too much concern for my soul has moved on.

This idea is all kinds of weird and morbid though.

[Bigg Red]

Yes.

We really need to help the scientists with their Soylent Green PSAs.

My name is Doctor Kumbaya. I have a PHD from Harvard Medical School. I am here to answer your common questions about your Soylent Green.

First of all, it is all natural with no artificial ingredients. It is free range as well, no cages were used. All of the animals were happy and well fed and disease free.

That means a healthy, nutritious meal for you, a critical part of a well balanced diet, one of the five food groups both children and adults need.

Look at the spotless modern factory behind me.

Beautiful. Clean.

The company that manufactures this outstanding product is a proud member of the National Association of Manufacturers and the Chamber of Commerce, and of course highly trained and experienced Food and Drug Administration inspectors routinely visit this plant to assure zero defects in the production process.

So, don't listen to those kooky conspiracy theorists--get Soylent Green in your home today.

Oh, I almost forgot. We have a special offer for our viewers. If you go online to the Soylent Green.gov website and click the "Special Bonus" button we will send you a free recipe book to show you great meals with Soylent Green. That is correct. A free recipe book you can keep on your kitchen table next to your Soylent Green packages.

But--don't delay. This is a limited time offer you won't want to miss.

You want a viking funeral?

Are you completely insane!?

With the prices of lumber, you’re going to build a boat, and then burn it? Jeepers! That’s a good way to go through a few million heh.

Most people 50 and younger would not have thought of it.

[Bulwyf]

Well, I’m not 50, I have a ways to go, but I thought that was common knowledge heh.

The “White Supremacist Hierarchy”, and all its followers.. you know, you and me, will be invited to volunteer for such composting. We will either become “Soylent Beige” or fill in for the “new garden of diversity”, that will be built over our compost retirement home. Nice.

Even in a sealed concrete tomb, after enough time passes, there isn’t going to be much left.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I want to be cremated on a pyre of 1000 car tires and the video sent to Greta Thunberg.

100%. We are to believe in the Resurrection of the Body. Doing this would be in total defiance of that belief.

What of people who die in a fire, their bodies being completely consumed by the intense heat and flames such as some who died in the towers on 9/11? Or what about people who drown in a sinking at sea like the Titanic, or the men who lost their lives and are/were entombed on the USS Arizona at Pearl?

Are you saying that since they can’t be Resurrected in anything but a desiccated embalmed Body, they are SOL?

What about all the blood that was drained out and replaced by embalming fluid. Are you going to be reunited with your blood at some later date?

As I learned when I watched a documentary on the discovery of the Titanic, when someone asked, “Where are all the bodies, the skeletons?” The answer was that in most cases, the remains of any human still on board when the ship went down or of those who drown and sunk to the bottom never having been rescued, have long since decayed and been consumed by microbes and sea creatures, the corrosive nature of the ocean water having even liquified the bones.

While there is some speculation that bits of bone may be found in the shoes scattered about the wreck site or under the few remnants of clothes if the bodies sunk deep enough in the mud on the sea floor, they are fragments, not whole bodies.

FWIW, eventually, after a long enough time has passed, even the embalmed in their expensive coffins, even the ones with the liners and vaults will eventually decay.

“Eight. Embalming isn’t the “Traditional Funeral”.

“We didn’t do the whole arterial embalming thing until the mid-1800s. Before that it was all natural and dirt and fire and other things. The “traditional funeral” is actually rather non-traditional when you consider the sum history of Homo sapiens.”

I don’t think it’s sacrilegious.

What’s sacrilegious is putting dead people in $10 000 boxes.

[one guy in new jersey]

Do you not believe in the Resurrection of the Body?

[cyclotic]

When my daughters gerbil died, I threatened to put it in a toy boat and light it on fire in the neighbors pool.

Didn’t go over too well, that idea

[cyclotic]

No more than normal burial.

My plan is for cremation and ashes to be spread along my favorite scenic road from a Porsche at 110 mph.

Do you not believe in the Resurrection of the Body?

Do you believe that the Resurrection of the Body requires a perfectly embalmed and artificially preserved body, a physical body preserved by chemicals and by methods that have only been around for a around century and a half or so? Or does it mean something more spiritual rather than physical?

Do you think that someone whose body was consumed by fire or decayed by other means is SOL?

[conductor john]

I’m not givin up on the good Lord raising me up in the flesh on that great ( or terrible, up to you) day!

[adorno]

Well, I’m not 50, I have a ways to go, but I thought that was common knowledge heh.

Test it out on several people, 50 and younger. Ask them if they know what soylent green is.

Robert Cantisano, an organic farmer and activist better known as Amigo Bob in his Northern California community.. was one of the first to have his remains composted at Recompose after he died of cancer Dec. 26 at the age of 69.

Do any of these woke geniuses know how the cancer cells or related chemo or radiation will affect the end product, the vegetation grown in it, or the water table?
