I cried when I first learned about death. I was watching a tv and somehow I understood and started crying. My sister tried to calm me down. I think I was 4th grade.
Didn't learn what heaven was until I was in the 10th grade haha
I don't think it's real and when you die that's the end.
>>703203575
I thought that chocolate milk came from brown cows.
That laughing gas really made you laugh uncontrollably.
I also once went down a hill really fast on a scooter and tried to jump on a homemade ramp (ie a board loosely balanced on like a brick or something) and ate shit on the pavement.
>>703203575
>Peanut butter jelly.
>Jelly.
It's fucking JAM.
>>703205070
Aw. Geographic argument. Fascinating.
>>703204771
Me too. Felt like someone was about to drop me off a cliff and I couldn't do anything in a way. If I remember correctly.
>>703205070
Jam is different nigger
>>703204925
And then you find out nitrous makes you uncontrollably retarded. Wawa.
I used to talk too much when I was 4. My dad told me
>You have only a fixed amount of words to speak during your whole life. You are soon going to run out of them
I didn't say a word the next three days.
>>703203575
these were the best pb&j's man. slightly chilled and shit tons of pb and j

I also went really fast down a hill on my scooter but it resulted in me breaking my tibia and fibula
>>703203575
I believed that sex with a female could literally kill you!
I was a young elementary school lad in watching the nature channel (shark stuff just went off, it was awesome). When an doc on spiders came on, I was kinda zoning out but remembered something about how each time a male has sex with a female there is a high chance of death. I laughed to myself thinking how dumb my dad must be to have 4 kids 4 fucking kids and risk death like that. I believed that from ages 7 to 9
>>703204771
I had a goddamn panic attack and my grandparents almost had me rushed to the hospital when I finally realized what death meant, and the final nail in the coffin about how their really is "no fucking escape" because it happens to all living things! No matter what people told me or how they tried to help, I couldn't believe in the concept of heaven, I fucking wish their was one but its just far too implausible. I think its the end off all things too, the soul "if it exist" doesn't do anything anyway, its the brain that allows you to perceive, act, and react to stimuli anyway.
I only stopped having panic attacks about it 2 years ago, and I still need to find some alone time, work out & listen to some good music every once in a while to deal with this impending doom looming overhead. Fuck if I'm gonna let this shit happen tho, or let anyone IRL ever know about this shit!
>>703205794
Used to ride down the hills in Berkeley. Sitting though, I was 10. Used to do it every day. From the hill top down to campus.
>>703205813
It's the concept of infinity and realizing life is finite. It's like looking into a gaping maw.
>>703205640
Yep. I'm 25 now and all my family is religious except and and my younger bro.
It's kinda makes me mad because wtf do they except that they were to lazy to teach us so now I argue about things sometimes just to see how family reacts.
I don't do it to my grandma though because she is to nice haha
Plus I feel like people who belive might be a little less intelligent yet I know there are probably smarter people than me that do belive. Isn't it weird man.
>>703206102
It depends on how close to cashing in you are. And whether or not you can accept and be happy with death. Existentialism says that we spend our lives looking for a happy death. Some anyway.
>>703204925
Laughing gas does make you laugh uncontrollably though, if you do it while watching funny shit.
Apparently when I got given laughing gas at the dentist as a kid I started singing. Which didn't go well with all the pointy things in my mouth.
>>703205813
>>703206299
I'd be happy with death right now. The only thing I would miss at the moment is food and sex.
I know it's not the right thing to be okay with but I have a hard time picturing my future.
I'm not suicidal or anything just kinda have a negative viewpoint on most things.
The medicine I take doesn't really help with that just makes me feel more okay with a bleh future.
I really miss smoking weed that always made me feel better haha
i told both my sons when they were young kebab meat came from elephant legs and they belived me for years.
im a shit dad.
>>703206102
I appreciate you not fucking with your nana. People that can't curtail their antireligious feelings and can't tell who its appropriate to argue with are the worst.
>>703206299
My family is religious and they raised me as such but when I was around 12 I realised that I was ok with death, and would rather put the imperfect life I know I have to good use rather than waste it in church for a perfect afterlife that I might have
>>703206068
Yeah, this is why I don't let petty little shit on this earth get me down like so many others. They are looking around crying about ants and some giants, and all I can see rows of teeth completely lining the sky and all I can do is watch it happen to me.
But oh fucking well
ha, you'd think this might be a problem that humanity would spare no expense to remedy.
>>703204771
>I think I was 4th grade.
Wtf?
Aren't you like 10 or so in 4th grade?
>>703206617
It's alright. I feel the same. I'd miss those things, but the world have me a lot. I could happily die right now, just based on that and knowing my child is healthy. And it's hard as shit to come to terms with the idea of leaving that to chance. But it worked out okay for me.

I don't think I'll ever be happy with death. I just hate the thought of no longer being sentient, to not be able to ponder concepts or construct ideas. I could just be a thinking consciousness floating through time and that would be fine with me but even death robs me of that. I love everything, all things and people, I just want to enjoy an everyday life for the rest of eternity. I don't want to die, I don't want to watch people I love die, I don't want any people to die at all, but its just not how things are.

>>703207671
I died, and was in a coma. Can't be sure, but what I saw wasn't anything like Heaven or Hell. Just overwhelmed with people or souls. Couldn't contain them or move them fast enough. Can't say it wasn't a dream, but I had no brain electricity for this. I guess I'll find out.

Next thing you know you'll be telling me Soccer is called football.

They were just as confused

Okay so like I said my family didn't teach me religion. I didn't have the internet at age 10 and they didn't teach death in school so yeah I'm supposed to go down to the library and check out a book about death??

It tends to be way better tasting especially in small batches. Wow, I went right off the fucking track with you.
I didn't believe in leap years. I thought it was obvious that, when a year was really about 6 hours longer than 365 days, the next year would would start at 6am.
>>703208292
I recall someone asking me how many several was and I just kept on repeating seven and became infuriated when they didn't believe me
>>703208132
Brits have no right to tell anyone anything about calling it football, since Brits themselves invented the term Soccer in the late 1800s. Short for asSOCiation football.
Also, soccer should be called handegg, not american football; zero percent of egg-laying species produce oblate spheroid shaped eggs, while thousands of bird, amphibian and reptile species lay round eggs. A kicker starts an NFL game with his FOOT. A punter kicks to the other team as well. That's 2 positions dedicated to kicking, and only 1 dedicated to passing. Meanwhile, in soccer, a goalie uses his hands constantly. Players use body parts that aren't feet like elbows, knees, head, chest.

I thought you came a back to life after you died.
One of my dad's aunts passed, but I always says heard stories about her, likee they just happened, so I figured she was alive.
I didn't understand death until my dog died.
I also thought that you could get women prego through the asshole or the vagina. That was mostly due to discovering my friends older brothers hentai.
Trunks fucked Bulma in the ass and got prego.
>>703207852
>>703207863
I also died as a kid, "bee allergy" stung in the neck.
I was clinically dead for short while, I stabilized an didn't remember anything, I didn't see anything, no dream, no thought. It felt so different from waking up from a normal sleep.
I was the first time I can "remember not dreaming" if that makes any sense.
every-time I don't dream then wake up its a reminder.
Dreaming is rare now.
When I was a wee lad I had a crippling fear of pooping. I would just hold it as long as possible until I exploded, Like a ticking turd bomb. In kindergarten I would just stop, stand in place and just let loose. It became such an ongoing problem that I wasn't allowed in the classroom without a diaper. I was that kid. Didn't overcome this until like 2nd grade

Believe it or not i believed him until i was around 12 when i started sitting down to pee on purpose to become a hot girl
after like a week of doing it and no results i told my dad that it wasn't working and asked what i was doing wrong. he just kind of made this face at me like he smelled something really bad and then told me to go to my room because he had to talk to my mom about something

you only capitalize it if you are religious and have a specific one in mind when you talk about it, otherwise it's just a concept referring to any supreme being, and is not a proper noun. It's not as if it's a real title anyone has ever held.

And the truth is, you probably won't have any idea it's about to happen, or even remember when it did. Makes you realize a lot if you survive it. Some people get, well unlucky and have to live through the fade out. Some get to live with intention right up until the moment of death, and don't even realize their dead until it's too late. I was the latter.

No, they are different. Jam is coarsely processed fruit, whereas jelly the fruit is cooked and the juice extracted, sugar added. Thats why jelly is translucent and jam has fruit it it.
Oldfag here, used to live in Upper Peninsula Michigan, lots of wild fruit, mom used to make jelly from unedible small fruit like pincherries and chokeberries, these fruit were too small to eat, but if you cooked them and extracted the juice, you could make jelly out of them.

but you're still here among the living, hence your perception of your "death". If you forfeit that, the ability to compare existence and not-existence, what is there left to fear?

I know, but I try not to let it get to me.
It won't stop me from attempting to live my ideal life, at least for now. I don't really know what else I can do but keep it suppressed since after 22 years of trying to ignore it (realized first when I was 8, from a book report project)
All I can do it keep on trucking till the gas runs out.
Kinda hoping on medical science tho, thats one of the things that keeps me calm even if its just fiction.

I think people really misunderstand the concept of the soul.. As in, "the soul "if it exist" doesn't do anything anyway, its the brain that allows you to perceive, act, and react to stimuli anyway." See you have to consider the actual implications of consciousness when looked at in the context of uncertainty. As in, what is the nature of observation and just how much does it create the world around me? The way I see it consciousness is a vital energy for the universe to percieve itself and verify the information, localizing it at this level for us, and everything else inbetween bigger or smaller in more ways that we can hope to process, consciousness is required to collapse the wave function and bring about a stable, concrete perception. This makes me really feel like consciousness itself is a fundamental aspect of this 'universe' or 'existence' and as such has to manifest itself in one way or another to maintain the balance holding everything in place. It really feels like such a delicate system, and I just really can't imagine there is nothing in store for us after this, i dont believe in heaven or hell or even that we will remember anything about our time here, but the vital archetype that makes up our ability to percieve doesnt just disappear, we all share in this process and draw from the potential in unrefined, un-localized conscious thought. I think this is what people confuse the 'soul' with, and it could easily be looked at in terms of the Hindu Atman/Brahman dichotomy if you detach from the rest of the belief system. Suffice to say, I really just dont think 'everything ends' because this that I am considering 'myself', the fact that I even have manifested at all tells me there is more going on behind the scenes related to consciousness and whatnot, and while our individual personality dies with us, the far more important energy to back that personality seems, from my studies, much too integral to ever really just 'die'...
That is all for now..

In the end, its inconsequential, really. You are no more or less real now than you will be after you die. What even is time? Consider that after death linear time ceases to be a limitation. That which happened can never un-happen. Maybe its the few near-death experiences I have had, but I think people really need to learn to abstract this kinda stuff far more.. Its not like this reality is simple or anything..
>If I acted nice, niceness would come back around to me eventually, like good Karma
Then realized people would rather be mean because niceness is thought of as a sign of weakness, its easier to be mean and indifferent than warm and nurturing, because then you would have to show you inner insecurities as well. Society has made sharing these things deemed as weak or pathetic.
>girls grow out of their childish ways after they get older
Then I realized than a womans mentality never really out grows the age 15 or 16, the only difference is they become legal age at some point and learn to use their childish bullshit to manipulate in other ways. Iv seen my own 78 year old grandmother do some petty as fuck shit to my grandpa, its as if she were a ten year old.
So, i realize as men, we are left to stoop to their games if we want to mate, or else fuck dudes or barnyard animals. ( the latter seems almost appealing )
>school would make sure you get a good job.
The biggest lie in recent centuries. I realize it was mostly a ploy for parents to get rid of their kids long enough in the day to keep their sanity, and do chores and shit, and its also was an opportunity for the government to tax and make more money.
My high school degree doesn't do shit, used to think it would give you a leg up, it doesnt.
The only way to get a job these days is for someone you know to hook you up with a favor.
Its all about who you know now.
>Its going to be great when i get older, parties, girls, alcohol.
Then i realized, around 26 years old, that you get sad and miss the days of childhood, thinking thoughts you have never thought before, first experiences, a genuine sense of wonder, staying up all night with you bro's playing Final Fantasy 9 and not having a care in the world for booze, and drugs.
Now all i care about is trying to find a place to relax, trying to get away from these things that i hate, not being able to sit down and focus on a hobby because some thing is in way

Unrelated, mom always warned us not to eat any fruit without letting her see it first. me and the kid across the street were walking home from kindergarten and came across a raspberry bush. we started picking them and he started eating them. Hey, you aren't supposed to do that, I started eating some. I guess they weren't ripe, I got home and puked from the frony door to the upstairs bathroom. Mom was angry, made me go to bed while they went picking strawberries.
To this day, I dislike raspberries with a passion, lol.

If my death experience was at all accurate, it is about where, and for how long our souls are kept, and who has say. Whether we are dead or dying, and what is chosen for us. Like we die only to find ourselves unable to choose where we go at first. It's a matter of when, how, and what you accept.
>>703212150
Well you said something about leaping over the final days of February. Which implies we remove them each year. It's a leap year because the year "leaps forward" in the form of another day to make up for the lost time.

There was no sexual education in my third world shithole country. So when i hit puberty and started wacking it to Britney Spears on mtv channel, i was constantly thinking - shit, if i do this for like 10 more times i will definitely run out of jizz and will never be able to have children in ny life lol.

This, is true. Or seeing tha walls of snow on the sides of the road during weather reports. Those winters, and even the thunder storms in A squared are something else.

>Its not like this reality is simple or anything
What its mad simple, science and logic tells us all we need to know. It doesn't tell us all we want to know, yet. I get it, I understand the spiritual separated-self looseness that is phantasmagoria perception. I've delved so far down that whole I feel like I've traveled light years into the core of it. The problem is when I look up I still see daylight and everything is the same. It brings me no comfort, it doesn't even allow me to alter the way I think although I believe I can fully comprehend the path and how to transverse it. In the end I'm still stuck-fast mentally and emotionally on the subject even if I felt like I've moved.
We believe wholehearted that the things our parents or the people raising us tell us are carved in stone, sometimes. It becomes really upsetting when others question, or prove our Guardians wrong, and they're right. It hurts us for some reason when we're kids.
>>703212864
Great comeback!
>>703213042
Yeah, the snow was piled up 10 ft high and walking to school and you'd see that snow blower with the blue rotary light, you'd have to run as you didn't know if the operator could see you and there was no place to get out of the way. You learned a lot being in kindergarten and making your way to school and surviving, lol.
>>703213395
And then you run across a lawn and break through the ice. Only to sink up to your waist in snow. I've gotten stuck up to my armpits in Putney.
>>703213510
Because of that we couldn't cut between the houses, dad was afraid that we get trapped in the snow because of the depth and that's why we ended up on the walking and running from the snow plows and snow blowers
>>703212822
you missed the point, Its not that i want, or even could play video games like i used to,
Its that i miss the ability to enjoy something again like that with no fucks to give to the world.
moron.
>>703205431
No it just makes you faster
>>703213814
That and the ice sliding off of roofs. I remember my friends Dad pushing him out of the way and getting clocked with a huge price of ice. Sent him right to the hospital.
>>703213937
Sometimes : ) can't say the same about some things tho. Like poppers. Pac man with your brain cells.
I didnt know babies came from vaginas. I thought they just erupted from the stomach tearing open a hole
>>703214005
we used to collect the icicles, the basement extended up about three feet or so and icicles would collect, we used to see who could get the biggest one. I guess I never thought about the snow and ice falling off the roof, lol
>>703208747
Not sure why but your story reminded me of when my grandmother died and I still kept seeing Facebook updates from her, creeped me out till I realized that I have 2 relatives with the same name (One was Cathy the other was Kathy, same last name), and I was just seeing the other, living one's status updates. Their pictures even looked almost identical, freaked me the fuck out for a while.
>>703212801
This would be pretty scary to believe. Like its Russian roulette no matter what. Become a Catholic priest, kind of fear.
>>703214327
It was some resort up north. Went with a class. All the buildings had big drastic angles on the roof, so most people stayed clear, but one of the kids was just in the wrong place and time. It probably would have done him a lot more harm than an adult.
>>703203575
Thank you OP. Miss being able to assume dumb things without knowing for a fact that they are a fallacy. It was like exploring every single day.
>>703213395
The memory of this coming down the street was sort of like in home alone, where the kid was scared of the furnace in the basement as being haunted, thats the image I had of this making its way down the street
>>703207743
[irony] lost on you [/irony]
>>703215006
And having to walk on the street at six to school with the snow piled up ten feet high on either side with this groaning behind you as this made a terrible racket
>>703215006
It's like street cleaners. But way more Mad Max. They were intimidating.
>>703215285
I forgot about that(!)
>>703212822
You missed the point.
>>703215306
They moved fast, I always wondered if the guy operating it would floor it to get a scare out of you, lol
>>703203575
I used to think that traffic signals were memorials to children killed at that location. In kindergarten, a classmate was killed trying to visit me. The next fall, a stop light was installed. I saw a connection. Afterward, I remember resting my head against the car window just to look up at nothing other than all the traffic lights downtown, thinking "some kid died here".
I just remember having emotions that were so much more intense. Being offended was something intense. It's amazing how jaded we get from repetition. From being desensitized. I feel like some times, I lack the ability to feel sometimes. Like it was taken from me along with some of these beliefs.
>>703203575
My mom told me sausages were octopus legs.

The snow plows would move faster, they had a yellow beacon, but wern't as scary
>>703215996
They were the savior so to speak. Also, they made it so school happened, so it was a love hate relationship.

xcept when you got done shovelling the driveway and it would push three feet of rock hard ice and snow and block off the entrance and you'd have to go out and shovel it clear so dad could go to work
>>703216479
Oh god. I remember that. And it would often be so much harder because of the plow. Like a wall made of oil, ice and rocks.
>>703216121
yes, at night we would run to the window to watch them roar by
>>703216616
yep, lol
I used to be really afraid of getting cuts and shit because I thought that if I lost blood I would never get it back, and all that blood that was in my body now was all I would ever have.

The thunder storms, how the drains in my house would screech from the pressure dropping. And the thunder was so intense as to be house rattling powerful. But the green sky and the drains sucking, was otherworldly.

When I was a kid I read a book on multiple asian countries with their religion and stuff.
The weird thing is I just couldn't understand why they didn't band together since they were the same .
I was even asked my mom something like
>why doesn't china combine with Japan?
>>703207468
I thought you had to pee in them...
>be me never liked eggs
>live life up until 18 w/o any worries
>order an omelette on easter

>ask to hold the eggs
that infamous day i found out omelettes weren't tortillas.
I was 8 and was going door to sell stamps for school charity, and this old guy answers the door and agrees to buy, then randomly tells me he was a soldier in WW2.
Dumbass me asked him if he killed people.
As a kid it seemed a normal question to me, but today I cringe and wish I could turn back time. I also realize that the poor man must've been really really lonely to tell a small kid that.
>>703217751
It seems so obvious when we're kids. The idea that people should work together. It may be better to have no concept of stupid bias. But it gets ingrained in
People. It's fascinating, to kids I think. Why can't they just get along? It seems simple to the young.
5 or 6 years old my dad told me that if a white guy has a baby with a black woman that the baby would die. Believed that till I was 14
Be under 4 my dad told me that I ran so fast that sparks came off my shoes

What is it? "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Nah black people are fine. Then I got older and realized like 90% of them are terrible, loud, and annoying and also closet racists. It's as if their bad habits and bigotry rubbed off on me. Because I legitimately know 4 or 5 good dudes who are black, and 1 girl who is black that are cool people. The rest that I know (I live in a 50-50 racial place there's about as many whites as there are blacks) are fucking terrible. I know hardly any whites that are racist yet the black people secretly despise us. And I'm a really nice guy to just about everyone I meet.

It's a conundrum. It becomes more set in stone as time progresses, and more people pass it on to their kids. Like genetic memory of it exists, it becomes impossible to disbelieve.

I used to believe that Government was the solution to everything.
>Be 90's, not enough internet, Govt. should enact an internet tax to finance internet for everyone.
I know how silly that is nowadays.
>Used to think my parents and elders knew everything and I could always rely on them for help and advice.
Then I realized that my folks were young parents and fucked up many many times along the way.
They are people just like you and me going through trial and error, with their own insecurities and problems.
That maturity isnt a magical breakthrough, its just learning how to fake not being insane in public.
Because when we all get home, we all do stupid immature shit.
Nobody ever really matures, its just an abstract idea.
im 31 and me and my fiance still have farting contests at home, sometimes we smoke pot and laugh like baboons at cartoons.
Sometimes...I pretend im buying cool action figures for my nephew, but instead i keep them and play with them when no one is looking.

Its like black people see that we are moving on from racism and miss the attention, so then they try to make reasons for us to be racists.

People can't take bad experiences from us. It's a sign of intelligence, to learn from your mistakes. It's just really subjective. We can't say someone is wrong if they have a real experience and they change because of it. It would be illogical, and impossible in many ways.
>>703219539

>>703219867
Seems like people who give in to logic always end up way more depressed. Where as people who don't know any better can remain happier regardless. I still think I need my logic, but the creativity and brilliance of being a kid is partially reliant on not knowing everything. The assumption that you have all the answers is self defeating, and so many adults seem to accept this as fact. I know it all, so there can't be anything fanciful or out there. It's just kind of depressing really.
