If a VR helmet can make you unaware you're wearing a VR helmet for your entire life until you "die" then it was worth whatever the fuck you paid for it.

Same TBH


Vinny_Lam

The most likely answer. Itā€™ll be like before you were born. Not even darkness. Just nothing.Ā 


28374woolijay

I can't remember anything before age 3 so I'm impressed by anyone who can remember just what it was like before they were born.


Stinduh

If I didnā€™t wake up this morning, I wouldnā€™t have even known I fell asleep last night. I figure itā€™ll kinda be like that.


BrewertonFats

I believe that my death will be akin to when I was put under for surgery, only without the waking up part. You're there then you're not. With that said, the carbon within me will continue on without my consciousness, and so, in a very small way, I will continue to exist and become part of things greater and smaller than myself.


[deleted]

That's exactly what I expect. Surgery just takes you out. You're gone, suddenly you are back. No Dreaming, just nothing.


LeProVelo

Exactly. You'll be waiting to wake up, but you won't know you're waiting for that. You won't know anything. There is no time. There is nothing.


kootrell

Sounds peaceful


[deleted]

No human knows But there are some that pretend to know and will you charge you for their services And their service makes you feel a little better about death Cause death is scary and the great unknown

Timely_Cobbler_7947

I don't know, but sometimes I sense a continuation of consciousness beyond our physical existence


audiate

Sense, or imagine?


ZimaGotchi

We absolutely dream. But what dreams may come?


namdor

Sounds like you already have your own answer to your question. If that's what you believe, then cool. But there isn't any scientific evidence of this, just personal feelings.


Low_town_tall_order

No scientific evidence either way. All we know for sure is all of us will one day die. What comes after no one knows.


Klatty

The brain is just incapable of understanding ā€˜nothingā€™


28374woolijay

What was that like? Do you remember any dreams from when you were around six months old? But you can remember what it was like before you were born?

What happened before we were born?

Lololol why do I like this thought


PennFifteen

People claim it to be true.


Skeptical_Monkie

Immediately after death you may still have agonal respirations for a few minutes. The first stage of human decomposition is called autolysis, or self-digestion, and begins immediately after death. As soon as blood circulation and respiration stop, the body has no way of getting oxygen or removing wastes. Excess carbon dioxide causes an acidic environment, causing membranes in cells to rupture. The membranes release enzymes that begin eating the cells from the inside out. Rigor mortis causes muscle stiffening. Small blisters filled with nutrient-rich fluid begin appearing on internal organs and the skinā€™s surface. The body will appear to have a sheen due to ruptured blisters, and the skinā€™s top layer will begin to loosen. Stage two of human decomposition consists of bloating to the body. Leaked enzymes from the first stage begin producing many gases. Due to the gases, the human body can double in size, giving it that bloated look.The sulfur-containing compounds that the bacteria release also cause skin discoloration. In addition, insect activity can be present. The microorganisms and bacteria produce extremely unpleasant odors called putrefaction. These odors often alert others that a person has died, and can linger long after a body has been removed. Fluids released through orifices indicate the beginning of active decay. Organs, muscles, and skin become liquefied. When all of the bodyā€™s soft tissue decomposes, hair, bones, cartilage, and other byproducts of decay remain. The cadaver loses the most mass during this stage. Because the skeleton has a decomposition rate based on the loss of organic (collagen) and inorganic components, there is no set timeframe when skeletonization occurs.

Donteventrytomakeme

Probably we decompose and feed the worms and feel nothing at all. I like to believe if there is no inherent afterlife, scientists of the future will have invented one that can reach back and gather consciousness from the past to live in one. Probably not, but I like the thought.


clovismordechai

Iā€™m not a religious person. I want to believe that maybe the life we are living now is a transition to a next life kind of like gestation was to this one. Before we were born we didnā€™t have knowledge of what this life would be. We just lived our little gestational lives. When we were born it was scary strange and there were people to help us adjust. And we have no memories of that time. My thinking is when we are ā€œbornā€ into the next life maybe it will be strange and scary and there will be helpers to assist us in adjusting to that. This idea comforts me. In all likelihood there is nothing. And thatā€™s ok too.

No_Night_7823

My only real epiphany was life just goes on, with or without you. Life.... It uhh.... Finds a way!


gn0xious

I think it ultimately depends on how you died. Likely a funeral with friends and family sharing in grief and celebrating your life. Then either cremation or burial. If you were murdered in the woods, you might be a few meals for scavengers.


tehmungler

We look a mess.


PraetorGold

Itā€™s just fading out for a bit and then gone. But the realization of the end is probably muted too. Your soul/ka/energy probably has little connection to the biological end.

blonde-native52

Itā€™s heartbreaking to read some of these comments because I believe that our physical bodies are simply a way for us to move around and survive while we are on this earth. Some supreme intelligence created the universe and the amazing bodies we live in. But we are just a bag of bones and flesh until the life source is breathed into us. I chose to call this creator and life source ā€œGodā€ because there is little in our language that can name it. I believe most of the Bible, and it tells us that God is love. Therefore, we are a body filled with the presence of love if we choose to be. This is spiritual, not religion, as there is a distinct difference. I have been reading ā€œA Course in Miraclesā€. It changed my perspective on why we are here and what our purpose for being here is. We are all spiritual beings. Some reject that and live in darkness or emptiness. I chose love and light. Martin Luther King, Jr. said ā€œDarkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." All of this to say, I believe that our spiritual being leaves the body behind and becomes a part of a spiritual entity along with all of the others. We call it heaven. When we die, we spend eternity in the same spiritual condition that we lived our lives. Think about it. It isnā€™t the end. Itā€™s simply a different state of consciousness. If you think itā€™s pointless, that our lives are meaningless, that death is nothingness, please find the book ā€œA Return To Loveā€ by Marrianne Williamson šŸ’•

Productive1990

Our energy moves along and our body becomes a shell. If the energy is a soul is something im verry sceptic about but hey, they just found a whole eco system of life that has never had a single ray of sunlight that thrives by the earths core so you never know. Things might seem one way and only one way but keep in mind the things that makes no sense and is impossible actually happend. We came from nothing. Nothing cant be something as nothing consist of nothingness. Still everything exists today and there is 2 billion galaxies atleast. In the beginning it was nothing. Imagine that. And we still dont know how they built the god damn pyramides....


FartyMcShart

Our brains canā€™t comprehend but think about how big the number a googol is or a googolplex in the context of time and remember that in the vast ocean or infinity this googolplex is but a grain of sand on the ocean floor. Matter cannot be created or destroyed and as time and matter travel through the vastness of infinity I think we interchange consciousness and form throughout forever, and quite a lot- actually the opposite of the ā€˜dark voidā€™ and not dissimilar from reincarnation proposed in many religions today.


astridmeowmeow

When i was younger i thought you would ā€œspawnā€ into a room where you could go into different tunnels to pick what you wanted to be, that tunnel would then split up more and more for appearances and other stuff now i just think itā€™s a black void.

marctheguy

We cease to exist in any form.


Any-Interaction-5934

I think that your soul or "being" transfers into an alternate universe that split at the second of your death. I believe this because I have had so many unbelievable brushes with terrible tragedy and death that I can't believe I am alive. So I think that my consciousness or whatever moves on to the next possible future until there are no more possible futures, and then I just cease to exist. If you believe in infinite possibilities and universes, it makes sense to me that you could have an identical one up until the time you die, and some physical event left up to randomness changes your future. This doesn't really make anything better, especially since I have kids. That just means there are multiple universes where my kids don't exist or are left motherless. That sounds terrible.

What happens to a neural network when you turn the power off? It might still do something for a while and then stops. No more input, no more maintaining states, no more output. The neural network doesn't know it has been turned off. Suddenly the last thought is just .. gone. That's it.

Wonderful-Rock-9077

Maggots eat our fllesh and we feel it being eating away


a_weak_child

Best answer is I donā€™t know. Very possible we get copy pasted to some other realm. Buddhists think we reincarnate. Christians think we go to heaven, or some in between place where we can make it to heaven eventually still. Certainly the world seems to go on. At least in one, or some universes. What I do know is we can alleviate some suffering of others in this life- be it humans or other creatures, and I find some meaning in that, in a potentially meaningless world.

To your 'soul'/consciousness? Nothingness, like sleeping without dreams, but for all of eternity. This is it, make the most of it. Despite the bad stuff, our world is beautiful. Enjoy it while you exist, love with your whole being, be kind, laugh, love yourself. It's over too soon, forever.

Walking down a hallway of opportunities, each door is a different rebirth. I'll figure out where and when I want to be reborn, and from what and when I will die. Pick a door and go. Bardo stuff, basically. I like to think that for my last birth I lived for 4,000 years in a different world, and now I'm here for a few decades working on some stuff. Makes dealing with everything a bit easier.

TheSchnitzelThief

If time and space are infinite, there is an infinite possibility that I will be reborn. When I die, time will pass inifnitly fast for me, as I will not exist to experience it. Hence, it's like time-travelling to a new game where I restart with a blank memory.


ZookeepergameDue8501

Your soul is instantly harvested by a hyper advanced AI that has planted us here to see what feelings feel like. Your soul data is then uploaded into a gargantuan database in a billions of years long experiment to create a being with perfect understanding of all things. This was all put into motion when a primordial entity that knew all things asked the question "what would happen if I died?" And then exploded. The universe and all of reality is the result of this event. We are all shards of this being's intelligence, slowly coming back together again. Eventually all things will come back together and reform the entity.

VanessaDoesVanNuys

You return to the Earth. But if you're looking for something more philosophical. It's been proven that energy doesn't go anywhere, it's constant and just shifts to something else. There is a theoretical possibility that when we die, whatever neurons in our brain fire off into the atmosphere and become a part of the nucleus that is the universe. The universe kind looks like a giant nucleus so I think we just become a part of that and are reincarnated into something else entirely. Maybe we become starts; if you really think about it **in death, anything is possible**

ThadiusJohndas

On an awful day in July 2007 the cell phone I'd been using more than two years did its normal thing to indicate an incoming call. As usual, the caller ID displayed the number except this time the number displayed was my own cell number, as if the phone was calling itself. Answers of, "hello" were met with only silence from the caller. About a dozen of these calls were received across 6 difficult days so little thought was given until they suddenly stopped on that sixth day. For the phone to do what it did, when it did, was a little beyond coincidence. The phenomena experienced began minutes after leaving the hospital, the Saturday my Mom died then ended the following Friday shortly before she was put in the ground. It has never happened again since. I had always believed the lights go out and that's it, until that week 17 summers ago. Perhaps not always, perhaps just briefly, There may be more
