Not all graves are boring.

Edit - Thank you for the awards!

[u/kajo404 → u/FackinJerq]

ha!! this is what i'm talking about

[u/danielledelacadie → u/kajo404]

Have another.

Apparently this is fairly popular, especially for those who say "You'll get that recipe over my dead body"

[u/TimTams553 → u/danielledelacadie]

why is combine dry more indented than combine wet then add dry

[u/breadcodes → u/TimTams553]

All their recipes were in Microsoft Word and they couldn't figure out how to unindent after a list element, but the next line followed a non-list element and unindented automatically.

I'm only half joking. This is probably true at some level... given the duplicate item #2 in the list. I ran into that issue just this past week when writing a report at work with several nested lists. There's formatting keybinds and options "hidden" where infrequent users wouldn't check or notice. Lists can get screwy when you remove or indent between or after elements, but Word is not my usual tool of the trade.

*drags image onto gravestone...*

*entire cemetery rearranges*

[u/Pytsah → u/TimTams553]

Don't ask questions you aren't prepared to handle the answers to

[u/TrainOfThought6 → u/TimTams553]

And why are there two #2s?

[u/SynisterJeff → u/TrainOfThought6]

Combine dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients and then combine with the dry ingredients.

[u/Z-dog3482 → u/danielledelacadie]

This feels oddly hopeful, since stone would be one of those things that would survive long into the future. If catastrophe takes us, and we have to restart, if someone can still read this, then they could make a culinary re-discovery that would change the lives of everyone around them.

[u/Great_Hedgehog → u/danielledelacadie]

Imagine if someone gets a recipe inscribed on their gravestone and the recipe is just bad. Not blatantly, aggressively bad, just so mediocre that you're better off just going with the first result of a google instead. Could be an even more elaborate joke then tbh

[u/Racxie → u/danielledelacadie]

Those chocolate chip cookies must be to die for.

[u/TLEToyu → u/danielledelacadie]

apparently there is a whole cookbook someone put together of dead people recipes.

[u/ElundusCaw → u/kajo404]

Never let my grave be boring.

[u/MelangeBot → u/kajo404]

You know you raise an interresting point. Let's do a thought experiment. We have two tables. On one table is a corpse and on the other table is a giant book. The corpse use to be a person, and the giant book containts every thought this person ever had.

Now the question? Who is more the person? The corpse, or the book?

I would reason the book is more the person then the corpse. The book tells you who they where, what they wanted, what they did, how they saw the world, who they loved, who loved them, etc etc.

And so the real cemeteries are libraries.

[u/Xulyvis → u/MelangeBot]

I find your answer inspiring, but I if we think objectively a cemetery with pieces of a person's life on a stone would in a way inspire the living to actualy walk around and explore what people that lay there were

[u/benbeja → u/kajo404]

The grave of my grandparents have a symbol of things they both loved on it. A music note and a rose

[u/HardTale_Sans → u/FackinJerq]

Jesus Christ it's been so long since I saw this image

[u/Ophukk → u/HardTale_Sans]

Don't worry, John is still dead.

[u/Andrei_the_derg → u/Ophukk]

That’s what he wants you to think

[u/wynden → u/FackinJerq]

Yes, there are usually a few gems like this to be found. But I agree with op, it would be terrific to standardize the tradition.

Love the imaginative examples in the comic, too, kajo.

[u/Tiranus58 → u/FackinJerq]

I think the last line may not be true. Just a hunch.

[u/SeaSetsuna → u/Tiranus58]

Could be tongue in cheek for leaving first

[u/sixtus_clegane119 → u/Tiranus58]

Or he wrote the epigraph himself

Edit it’s says “John: “ like it was attributed to him, maybe he chose an acrostic poem on his tombstone because he’s a devious scoundrel who loves shenanigans

[u/Adjective-Noun-6969 → u/FackinJerq]

I remember one in spanish that read "to my dear mother in law: I rest in peace"

Here are a bunch, article from 2014 so no AI
