minus-squarethreeducklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 month agoYou know how when you get put under for anaesthesia, and you don’t notice the time you were gone? It’s like a cut in the tape of life. What if death is like that, and BAM your consciousness re-emerges billions of years in the future the moment you die. But your consciousness is alone. And in pitch black nothingness. Forever.

Also true!
This is what I think happens. You don’t experience death, you just reemerge on the other side, no matter how long it takes.
