I am pretty sure it is becoming legal to get composted some places. Then you wait and disinter the giant bastard, free yard skeleton

You’re “homeschooling” !
What if I put it in my will that I want my skeleton turned into a kick ass statue in a WH40K style marine suit?
What would be the point? Space marine armor is fully enclosed, nobody would see the skeleton anyway.
It’s not for them, it’s for my skeleton.
Akshully, a significant portion of them prefers to fight without a helmet where possible, for various reasons such as chapter culture or certain gene seed variants. The primarchs are also often depicted without helmets, but considering the lore is essentially imperial propaganda it might make sense to depict them that way for PR reasons.
Wearing insanely heavy armor only to leave the helmet off seems like the kind of thing so obviously stupid it should be kept out of propaganda material at all costs.
Not defending the practice in a combat scenario because that’s obviously dumb especially in the uber warfare that’s happening in 40k. Virus bombs that can destroy entire ecosystems in proverbial seconds, rounds and shells with more diameter than a fucking bus, chaos sorcery of the worst kind is a frequent encounter as well.
But for propaganda material it makes a lot of sense I’d say, the masses need to see their heroes’ faces. There are also some marine chapters that use mutated or otherwise extreme gene seed when making their warriors, for example one chapter becomes a lot more animalistic in its physical characteristics and the helmet negatively impacts their altered natural senses.
Would be more ethical to buy a full body autopsy CT scan its’s only a fewthousands dollars) to get a 3D model, then 3D print a replica of his skeleton out of something not biodegradable.
how is that more ethical if they want that?
Not dessicrating the corpse, since CT xray is nondestructive.
Going to have to update my will
im gonna force (post mortem) whatever morgue that has to deal with my body upon death to rip all my teeth out so i can send them to my friends.
I’ve got worse ideas. Apparently there’s a company or was, idk if it’s still around that would preserve tats from the skin of the now longer alive individual. I’m really tempted to get a tattoo of a dashed grid on my back, with numbered squares (2x2inches per square for example) just so i can tell people that when i die it’s going to be removed, segmented, preserved, and then sent to people that knew me.
i would describe it is realist more than anything. People subscribe to things that are meaningless more often than not.
ah yes a classic
…how would a coroner go about removing a skeleton without destroying the body? I’m pretty sure this is nowhere in a coroner job description. I’d tell him the same thing.
You just need a straw and some patience.
I would assume you would need to dissolve everything but the bones, unless you want to start cutting and peeling and pulling and scraping.
They use special beetles. Eats all the meat off nice and clean.
True or not this is now a fact in my mind.
They don’t just throw a whole body in with them. But they do use them to finish cleaning the bones.
I went to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and they have an area in the entrance where you can watch the beetles do their thing.
That would be something worth seeing
So what you’re saying is that Anon just asked the wrong person.
“On a good day?”
Your height varies a surprising amount as your spinal column compresses - this seems to be more pronounced in tall people (not sure why - we don’t have extra vertebrae).
As an example, measure your height in the morning and before you go to bed.
Gravity is a cruel mistress
My little brother likes to say he’s going to have us all taxidermied and put on roller skates so we’ll be with him forever.
Yeah everyone knows in Europe there’s just skeletons everyone’s gardens. It’s considered pretty common over here and not at all weird or strange.
Are you implying the fellow in this green text might not be the most …normal person?

I think this is one of those societal level conspiracies
I like by taking life, in death I want to give life. It’s legal, it’s ethical. Unless I die from a bacterial disease or nasty virus, I find it ghoulish and cruel to be cremated or pumped full of preservatives - let me return to the earth. Feed me to birds, bury me under a tree, i don’t care - I just want to feed life as I fed upon it
It’s legal, it’s ethical, and if I died tomorrow I’m sure my frequently expressed wishes would be ignored
Look and see if your state has at home Burial services. If they do tell them you want to bury the body at home and you do not want it embalmed. Then buy an absolute fuck ton of Dermestid beetles online. Then, get ready for the horrid smell as they eat the flesh off of your father’s rotting corpse over the course of a year or more.
When I read this, I was curious how possible it would be, if there’s sufficient supply in the market… I found this vendor page. So, there would probably be enough supply as there are taxidermists who need to clean big game skulls, which require thousands of larva and adults, and the vendor say you should email them if you need more than 10’000. I couldn’t learn how much time it would take, but they do say that more = faster, and to communicate with them to fit your project timeline.
Didn’t we have a community for unethical life pro tips? This comment would be a perfect post there.
I don’t see what is unethical about it.
It’s probably not what his father wanted
put it in the will or enlist it to a trusted family member, those are the two options you have to deal with this problem.
will is a limited immortal version of the dead person, you can only ask them questions about their death
“put it in the will” is because back in the 70s the will could only read paper slips
will is a shortened form of william, the first man to never die (in 1683)to clarify, that’s not their birth date
Well he should have considered that before dying. Its about personal responsibility.
We don’t know that, and imo that hardly matters now as they are dead and never coming back. They no longer have wants, needs, or feelings.

I guess I’m gonna have to talk to my apartment’s landlord first.
It’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
Imagine a neighbor who’s annoying dog barks in their yard sometimes.
Now imagine a neighbor who’s fathers’s rotting corpse is slowly being eaten by beetles over the course of a year or more.
If you bury the body first it should take away a good chunk of the smell but you have to bury it in like a mesh cage almost so the bones and stuff can’t be slowly moved over time by the beetles.
I’ll take the corpse
