    If death is like sleeping sign me up (it’s not, but an eternal nap with the occasional dream would be pretty cozy ngl).

      You just currently in one of your longer occasionally dreams. Don’t worry, we all wake up sometime.

      Reminds me of a favorite Shakey Graves lyric: “Night is to day as death is to dreaming.” I love that line, even though I still don’t really know what he means. It also just flows very well in the song, so that helps.

        Sounds like he had a rather dark view the night. I don’t understand it, but it sounds like he intended to contrast the positive connotations of life and day (bright, warm, ect) with the opposites. Idk, what do you think he meant?

          Well, night and day are two sides of the same eternally flipping coin, an endless cycle, back and forth forever. But dreaming isn’t the flip-side of death, life is. So maybe he’s saying that “life is just a dream”? Or death is dreaming, but without light? Idk, but it’s from a sleep/dream-themed concept album called Can’t Wake Up. I highly recommend it, it got no attention anywhere but it’s easily one of my favorite albums of the last five years.

    Nah, it’s more like paralyzed regenerative hallucinations with long pauses between episodes. Unless you sleepwalk; then death is definitely a possibility.

          Fact: PP_Boy likes to race bait people on Lemmy. Fact: I agree with PP_Boy on the Justin Roland issue. Fact: A broken clock is right twice a day.

              Nah this wasn’t about you. I’m trolling PP for being a dickhead a few months ago. He posted a racist greentext with the n word in it that I reported for race baiting (because it wasn’t funny. It was just the n word repeatedly) and he also called a dude a pussy for not being a bigot during a separate issue.

          Oh yeah, because fathers named Steve are such a blight in society, lololol. What did you think you were implying with that bonus fact?

    So, can we say that people have all died now? If sleep is just a temporary death, one we can wake up from, then that means everyone has died.
