I l0ts of times tend to imagine ive just ran out in traffic or jumped off a bridge or went through the matrix, or even a worm hole, maybe even died of old age, and than am just here still existing, because I need to go an die again, before I forget.

What if after physical death, we have no sensory organs or nervous system, or brain to process and correlate information? No perception. It's over.
Well, if that's a possibility, then I'm not willing to blow this existence. This is the only time I'm gonna be me (this guy I'm in). 
Or, what if next time I'm a blade of grass, or an inert gas, or a piece of space rock? A puppy would be cool if I had a cool way owner like myself 
You get what I'm sayin I think...who knows what the heck happens after death? Another way of looking at it is...have fun and kick ass while you're here...it won't matter anyways, but only to you.

It is my opinion that in that type of existence, since you wouldnt be consciously aware, Time would continue to pass instantly until your next conscious experience.
Cool man, I also have that scenario included in my infinite possibility death-scenario list. I wonder if time is only the ever present, and it takes perception to identify landmarks such as before, after, or in relation to.
I know in space/time it could be inferred the distance of an object but that information changes depending on the vantage point it's being observed from. Cool stuff.
I like littleton's scenario too...all I know is I would prefer something cool, visually stunning, and fun at the moment of death 
I also realize I prefer something cool, visually stunning, and fun in my life...and it's all around

Yea man its very cool stuff, Very deep. Questioning the fundamentals of existence make it even more fascinating, When people fall into a "normalcy bias" and forget that reality is a crazy unknown thing they end up taking life for granted and never think about the nature of reality.
I heard that when you die your brain releases a large amount of DMT, so you might have the death you want haha. Idk how true this is though and im sure noone probably does.

Did I specify that it was my life I thought was fucking stupid? no. Do I believe that this life in general is fucking stupid? yes.
Dooming the planet for our future generations. Spending huge amounts of money on military that could be spent on saving our planet. Completely exhausting the ocean of marine life. Childish world leaders, Religions, Countries "flexing their muscles" to eachother.
The worst part is we think were so fucking smart. If we didnt have religions repressing scientific advancement, If most of the money in the world didnt go toward military, Imagine where we would be today.
Why wouldnt I think this life is dumb? its a joke. Anyone who says otherwise is plain wrong.

Be careful, around here as with most places, once you start telling truth you will be labeled as a conspiracy theorist. With that label always comes the "crazy" label.
The odd part is that the real crazies won't even see their craziness, will continue to preach about science in religious tones, yet be in complete denial about reality of the world. Somehow science is up on the pedestal around this place. It's unreal, to me at least, that a supposedly intelligent scientist will deny reality, as long as their little slice of unreality is peer reviewed and therefore rubber stamped as being "truth". Anything for a paycheck and a pension.

Well said.
It always boils down to money.

MollyLucyMaryJane said: this life is fucking stupid. since i was born in the first place wouldnt death mean that im just going to immediately be born again into a life different than the one im in but with no memories? Seems like the only reason were alive is because time slows down and lets us experience this current reality. Death would mean a different reality right? Is it like a video game where if your fucked you should just "reset"
I am 99% sure that you are cosmic energy (and organized matter) that congeals into a body and self; death will be dissipation back into energy (and disorganized matter).
reincarnation is not a set game you win at all by rolling again, it is another kind of poetry.
the self has to find its way in the context of here and now - this life.

No brother. Death is the end of reality. Did you think you were an immortal...lol. You got one chance...
