"A silvery thing in another cabinet, like a three-pointed star inside a circle, was made of no substance she knew; it was softer than metal, scratched and gouged, yet even older than any of the ancient bones. From ten paces she could sense pride and vanity."

Mannn having a brand on your gravestone, though

People put their religion on their gravestone. That's just corporate branding under another label.

Hey, you're the militant atheist who called me mentally ill for disagreeing with your views on religion

It's not a mental illness, you're just a dummy

More importantly, I never did that. But they're stalking me and harassing me for it anyway. No longer in this community, however.

Agreed, tho i feel like vw bus iconography leans more towards a hippy symbol than the actual Volkswagen brand

In 10,000 years’ time, archaeologists will speculate on the religious significance of the VW cipher.

Are you familiar with this book? It's a lot of fun.

DDR is the German version of the acronym for German Democratic Republic (GDR).

No soul will never find peace resting there BUT it's the best grave ever outside of the Taj Mahal.

It's not too late to have one made!
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
Something like that would be way beyond my price range. I'll be lucky if I can afford a metal plaque.

Get a credit card before you die, max it out on a badass headstone, die. Ez pz.

How did they die?
Car accident.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 2y
Nah.
Weed accident. Hotboxed to death.

Did they die together?
This seems like a difficult tombstone to update later.
Or is it the same person but young/old?

Why would you have a gravestone before you die?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
Because, in general, the carvers don't accept a dead person's Mastercard.

Well I hope you don’t live in an apartment. It would be awkward sitting next to your tombstone on the sofa…
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y
But if you die next to it, it’s a neat story for first responders.
Also, it’s super convenient and you get to pick your own.

ccunning@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I do prefer a firmer sofa…🤔
