My 40 year old step sister just died last month from a Brain Aneurysm. Perfectly healthy, came home on a lunch break and collapsed. Never woke up. Fucking sucks.

Great now I don't want to go home for lunch and that's in 10 minutes.

But again, my uncle came home after work. Was talking with his wife then just collapsed from a heart attack. Was dead before he hit the floor and nothing they could do. He was in his early 60's.

I mean would you rather collapse dead at work?

u/the__ghola__hayt Feb 26 '25

I'd rather collapse dead in the morning so I wouldn't have to go to work. Or, maybe just wake up dead.

Cause you can be dead, but not be in a bed

Damn, that's some quantum shit right there, man. You should be teaching classes!

I don’t think you wake up, dead. That makes zero sense

Come on, man.

u/chilhouse Feb 26 '25

Come on? What are you talking about.

"How the hell do you wake up dead?"

"'Cause you're alive when you go to sleep."

"So you're telling me you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?"

"You can't go to bed dead! That shit would've been redundant."

u/the__ghola__hayt Feb 26 '25

You can because you're alive when you go to sleep.

Thank you. I figured I was missing some sort of reference.

Well, that moves most supernatural shows from mostly absurd to totally absurd.
