Coming soon to self-driving cars: Grandad comes to visit from Kansas, but he’s been dead for five hours.
It would be crazy if someone died of a heart attack while crowd surfing and hundreds of people just unwittingly pushed a corpse around.

👋 Hi there! This is Waygo transporter #69420, with an important message.
There was a slight oopsie with Pip-Pop on the way to <your location>. Please review the following transcript log, created by my tamper-proof auditing system (powered by Windows 15). legal subsystem at our headquarters. To obtain the original file
5:46:37 - ⚠️ the onboard Waygo Intelligence®️ Agent has detected a sudden adverse health event affecting passenger #A-7713. This matter was urgently escalated with priority to the Higher Intelligence Executive Oracle Cluster (codename Steve). Steve’s analysis considered proximity to medical facilities covered by #A-7713’s insurance plan, in combination with his worsening condition and determined that a euthanization was the best, most humane course of action for all parties. ordered me to initiate procedure 6-7 to euthanize my occupant.

Now this is a classic shower thought.

Pretty sure it shouldn’t actually be in this community then. I thought the only things that were allowed here were thinly veiled political commentaries.
early_riser@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
I expect a bit of that here. /r/showerthoughts had its fair share of them, but Lemmy being Lemmy, they’re a lot more frequent, a lot less subtle, and express a narrower range of perspectives.
At least they’re observations in the vein of actual showerthoughts. The politics usually shows up in a very non organic way.

When you die, you’ll lack pincher and blatter control. The result will be obvious.

Have you ever held a dying person? You know when it’s over.
early_riser@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I can speak to this, though with a dog rather than a human. She lost control of her bowels and bladder when she went. I feel for the dude next to me in the waiting room at the vet. He was probably there to get shots for his cat or something and wasn’t expecting a dog to buy the farm right there.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m sorry dude. That’s not a fun thing to remember. My wife and I were camping and the cat up and died of total body failure, but she held on until we got back from camping to finish dying so she could say goodbye to us. Fuck that cat was the sweetest.
Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 hours ago
Yes, but will a crowd in a frenzy know? Not so sure.
roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 day ago
People would notice once the bowels released.

There’s pit angels though. Usually one every few metres. They’re the big guys, usually tall, often wearing white shirts for some reason. They’re the people that manage to clear space in seconds, pick a little person back up off the ground, and get them out of the zone. They’re also great at retrieving lost shoes and returning them to the owner before they get surged to a different location. They’d notice a dead crowd surfer instantly.

A hairy, beary angelic dude once pulled me out from behind the barriers at an In Flames concert, back in their Come Clarity (or Reroute?) days. I had landed in front of some speaker fucken skyscraper. The volume was indescribable.

Have you tried handling a limp body before? Crowd surfing works when you spread out your arms and legs and stiffen your body. When they suddenly go floppy, you’ll be on the ground fast.
YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 1 day ago
The heaviest thing to carry, besides a body, is your emotions and shame. A body is a CLOSE second. Which is why you always move a body with friends! After the whole is dug, shoot your accomplices and just slide their bodies into the hole. Can’t go around having people that can testify against you 🤗
