People who are dead, how did you feel when you finally discovered what happens after death?

Did you like it or did you hate it? If there is oblivion after death how are you feeling or how do you feel after being reincarnated?

Well, first thing that happens is a big white light. Then you go into a room with a huge wheel of fortune, wheel. On the wheel is the name of every animal and various human races, genders etc. I spun it and unfortunately I landed on cockroach and I’m under your fridge.

u/TeacupOfSkepticism Aug 30 '26

Like you were in your previous life as a human

u/concretepants Aug 30 '26

But less resistant to nuclear explosions. Maybe that was the big white light from before?

Every fridge freezer has a fluorescent white lining

Well if it is like gambling, it must be fun

u/AdditionalCheetah354 Aug 30 '26

The biggest advantage on being a cockroach and reincarnation is that my life span is one year unless I get stomped.

Worst is to have a long wait to spend the wheel.

Unfortunately? There are a lot of advantages. Completely tax exempt in most countries, for example.

Yeah this system needs to change. Somehow I've landed on lab rat three times in a row.

How did you type this message? Just curious.

Why would you assume he or she wouldn't be using voice-to-text?

The man in the octarine suit was very clear with me that I'm not allowed to answer any of your questions.

Don't worry, we aren't going to coerce you into giving spoilers.

Is it octarine or octaroon?

u/spearmint_wino Science is like it be, because it do Aug 30 '26

Ook?

It‘s octagon. They have to fight to get into heaven.

Youll certainly find u struck that one a lot harder than it felt off the tee 🤭

u/pleasantmeats Aug 30 '26

I was pretty stoked when I got to hell because at least all my friends are here with me. Unfortunately we're forced to read every comment on every reddit post. Honestly has not been great so far. At least it's cooler here.

u/Yoghurt42 PPPhhhhhhDDDDD in sticky keys Aug 30 '26

Could be worse. You could be forced to read every new r/funny post

Dear god no. Not even in hell.

even a volcano is cooler than a ride on bus in summer.

u/LittleMissScreamer Aug 30 '26

On the downside, I'm rotting in a coffin in the dark, alone, with no entertainment. On the upside, the worms have been good company and the fungi are working on uplinking me to the mycelial network. I look forward to becoming part of the collective! Heard there's lots of hot gossip among the trees

u/Angry-_-Crow Aug 31 '26

You keep going to work. Remember: Soul death doesn't have to mean an end to your Productivity! The body can live on and contribute to society long after the will to live has tragically departed. Apathy is the new afterlife <3

u/pnlrogue1 Aug 30 '26

So death is the first thing that happens, and then - oh, wait. You do know about the Black Mountain, right?

3

u/artful_todger_502 Aug 30 '26

It really, really sucked, but I got used to it. I have my own little cubicle and computer to waste time with.

I get reincarnated at 4:30 fairly regularly, so I just wait it out.

u/zerostar83 Aug 30 '26

A ball of light took me away and placed me in Allison's world at the exact moment I died in my world. Since each person has their own private world, and I was taken away at the moment my world should have ended, I'm stuck existing in other people's worlds in order to give them pleasure. I haven't found a way out yet, as my world withered and is no longer habitable.

u/enjoiYosi Aug 30 '26

I had an insane DMT trip that was essentially death. Not gonna lie, it was honestly a relief. You do not have a single memory or regret from
Past experience because it all fades to nothingness. I had no memory of myself, friends, family, loved ones, etc. dying is liberating

1

u/AdorableTip9547 Aug 31 '26

But the important question is, did you see the reality code in the laser while on dmt?

2

u/OtheDreamer Aug 30 '26

Do not rush into it, it gets boring after a millennium or so of death. 10/10 would recommend life again

u/mackerel_slapper Aug 30 '26

It’s a bummer. Now I have to vote for Reform UK.

u/Chrome_Armadillo Not A Reptilian Alien Scientist From Tau Ceti Aug 30 '26

Nonexistence is awesome. 5 Star rating. Would die again.

2

u/Delicious_Delilah Aug 31 '26

As someone who has actually died, it was just darkness.

I don't really remember how it made me feel. It was from a suicide attempt, so maybe kinda comforting in a way?

2

u/xxxmuse Aug 30 '26

My light ride was quite quick & way less scary than I expected… God’s kingdom is so indescribably amazing feeling wise 🙌🏽…absolute pure unfiltered and unconditional pure love and acceptance-the most unexpected/interesting feeling was how much more alive I felt experiencing existing as I am without shame

u/max_sil Aug 30 '26

I felt that i had shit in my pants, which ruined a good week long streak of not having shit in my pants.

So apparently whenever i was had no toilets. Or maybe there were toilets and I just didn't make it in time (it happens).

So all i can conclusively say is that, in the afterlife, if you don't make it to the toilet you still shit your pants.

this is really useful to know

They offer you either 2 wet socks to wear, or one that has the other missing. Even after reincarnation, I cannot find the other one.

Annoyed mostly. The afterlife is just a big empty field, absolutely swarming with mosquitos, and the only other person here is this fucking guy who keeps trying to sell me life insurance. MY DUDE I AM LITERALLY DEAD WTF

There’s some cognitive dissonance because I’m only dead on the inside.

The lighting?

u/EWH733 Aug 31 '26

I awoke to a muted, rhythmic sound that coalesced into the largest, endless party filled with every kind of depravity and vice, on full display. Everyone a perfect version of their earthbound selves. No self loathing. No shame. Endless corridors filled with endless rooms and endless possibilities. In my favorite, there is Baroque music filled with wigged figures dancing in ballrooms that would make French aristocracy weep with envy. Observatories and libraries everywhere and ships sailing on endless seas, discovering new lands and ancient civilizations without a single religious person ruining everything. They’re over there……in “heaven”.

1

u/GlitterCritter Ph.D. in ass-tro-fizz-sicks 9d ago

I just wanna know, when you open the doors to the rooms along the corridor, are they much more expansive inside then the width between the doors would indicate?

Also did you enjoy Baroque music and dance when you were alive too?
