Obviously hypothetical. Just curious what others would do. |

Wonder if I'm going to the good place or the bad place. Otherwise, probably nothing different than I'm doing already. |

If you were lucky enough to have been married to the love of your life twice but both of them die before you, which one do you spend the afterlife with? If your infant child dies, do you spend eternity with them changing their diapers? You’re reunited with your high school sweetheart but they died in a car crash at 15 and you at 90. You spend eternity with a “kid” as an afterlife lover? You had a dozen pets in your life- you have to have them all in the same house at the same time forever? |

What does "see" mean? What does that entail? Can I look at them in a zoo? |

Depends – have they seen everything I’ve been doing? |

I demand an explanation of exactly how information theory and quantum field theory were both wrong in their fundamental principles, and it turns out we actually are blobs of spirit energy driving around in meat suits, instead of being just thinking meat that dies. |

Here's one. If when you're alive, it's said there are many versions of you, because everyone knows you a little differently and perceives things differently. Imagine when you're dead, that every time you see someone, you each see your favorite/most known version of each other. So the example of HS sweetheart, they'd see you as a 15yo. Dead spouse, same, they'd see you how you last were and vice versa. You could be so much to so many people... Imagine how nice that'd be! |

I would ask my childhood friend how he died. A few years after we lost contact, he was found dead on his bed in the first day of his two-week PTO. I had just signed into a job in that same city and was thinking about reaching out to him. |

Make up a bunch of arbitrary mystical rules about who will be lucky enough to enjoy this new paradise and who will be relegated to an eternity of misery. |

Confusing as fuck is what it would be. What if my mum and the friend I hung out with for four months on student exchange and my favourite primary school teacher all meet me at the same time? They don't know of each other's existence and they know wildly different me's. Which me would I be? Do I notice myself oscillating between personalities and bodies? |

Wouldn't you agree they already know "2 different versions" of you already? Your mum would know you a lot better of course, and probably view you as more highly regarded. Same you, just different perspectives. And hey, in the afterlife, it could be totally different physics and understandings. Who knows. |

I think this is the exact plot of The Discovery on Netflix. In the film, it leads to a lot of suicide. |

It really depends. Can they see my flings and hookups and everything in real time over the course of my life? |

I would believe that I am a brain in a jar hooked to electrodes in some kind of future sci-fi hell before I believe that I am experiencing paranormal magic woo. |

I'm an atheist so I'll probably be in Hell, but my Grandma was an atheist, so I guess I'll get to see her too! |

I'd live the rest of my life with just a little more spring in my step knowing death wasn't the end. |
