This reminded me of the stroke in my teens, in coma dream I was told by what seemed to be a 4th dimensional person, I will survive but will die at the age of 42… or in ‘42 (2042). I can’t remember which, as I just suffered a massive stroke lol.
Now, I’m not one to believe in premonitions, but that coma dream has haunted me and I’m not even a spiritual person.
How old are you now?
42 lol.
Rip in peace
One can only hope lol.
Rest in peace in peace
Requiescat in pace in peace, you heathen
Hvíldu í friði in peace, Roman niðingur.

In 2042 you'll be 62ish or something I don't wanna think about math, but that's around the average American life expectancy and isn't too bad.
Maths understander here, in 2042 they'll be 60, not 62. Also the average life expectancy in the US is around 77-78 years, i.e. enough of a difference compared to 60 that you could more or less fit (and live to see) a grandkid/great-grandkid's entire childhood in there.
Although that 79 years figure is Life Expectancy at Birth, in practice it tends to be longer for most surviving adults older than a certain point, mostly because the lower ranges of the chart hit their allotted moment and pass on for whatever reason, leaving the remaining average higher still
Of course, with calculus living rent free in my head rn thanks to the uni course of the same name, I'm wondering what that chart of "current age vs expected remaining age" looks like, and where the point of "ageing faster than your remaining likely time grows" lies
Edit: source turned out to be a little out of date (although they always tend to bicker a little on the exact number), corrected for it
Yeah, I thought it was closer to 70, but apparently it's 77 as of 2022
That's not close to average life expectancy in the US.
Okay, source I used was a little out of date (was looking at 2015 numbers, oops), but even the 2022 numbers disagree somewhat. OECD claims 77, CIA claims 78.
Yeah, I thought it was closer to 70, but I guess it's around 77 as of 2022, so I was a lot more off than I expected
That's because 42 is the answer from the book hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and subconsciously could permeate your thoughts. Not because is in 42 years or when you're 42.
Hate to disappoint, but I hadn’t heard of the franchise until 2005, due to the movie. As you might imagine, hearing 42 used in works like that would give me chills.
Nice feedback, still on brand with the answer.
Maybe you're the original hitchhiker.
My dad died when he was 42. You don’t happen to be a huge alcoholic with no memory prior to 1992? Are you my reincarnated father?
Sorry, I don’t drink alcohol and remember far too much of a life I wish I could forget.
Well then! Alcohol seems like the right solution for you! Maybe it's time to start. /s
I have no Idea what this genre of humor is, but I kinda dig it. Cosmic absurdity mixed with internet "haha so random" humor?
Is this post-postmodernism?
We should probably pick a new name for modernism
I propose continuing with modernerism. Post-modernerism, super-post-modernerism, way-past-due-modernerism and so on.

I've always liked "Steve"..
Not even three comments into a shitpost and I'm already being asked to classify granular neologistic artistic movements. Fuck me.
Art is a lie, nothing is real?
It's a question?
I've heard it referred to as meta-modernism. the writer and director for everything everywhere all at once liked using that term to describe the movie.
feels surrealist? because of how surreal it is?
Sounds a bit like the "john dies at the end" series, I've heard it described other ways but I think of it as cosmic horror comedy
A good example of what things are like I feel is the start of chapter 9 at mcdonalds(if you stop there it won't spoil anything) for the weirdness and then you have stuff like aiming a dog's butt at people like a gun and it being a deadly threat
I absolutely LOVE John dies at the end, wish they would make movies out of the rest of the books. In the meantime, do you have any movie/TV recommendations that are similar?
about 2 cuils
ive been calling stuff like this neo-surrealism since it's surrealist in a distinctly post-internet way
it's called my favourite
I have no idea what is going on here
"What is this existential crisis doing in my soup?!"
