Don't do this. Use the KISS approach. Shoot the body before burrying.

I want to be cremated but I also want to be guillotined before being shoved into the fire. Knowing that the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none, I'm in inclined to request a viewing even though I don't want one just so they replace my blood with embalming fluid, at least that would ensure I'm dead.

I ATEN'T DEAD

That's why we have a "wake", to see if the person wakes up.

You want it to be a pull down trigger not a push up one. Because of the bloating

Just put a Nokia 3310 in the coffin. You can even play snake 2 while awaiting rescue.

Isn't that just a bell, which led to the proverb "saved by the bell"

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Saved by the bell is more than lonely from boxing. Apocryphally about those safety bells but theyre an overblown myth by all estimates

What's wrong with a button? What's this rube goldberg shit

in the 19th century

That's where the phrase "saved by the bell" comes from isn't it? Because they used to do this with a bell attached to a rope that the person could ring.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was when you're getting your shit rocked in the boxing ring and the bell saves you from being pummeled into [T.]K.O.
