A good argument for cremation.

I very strongly suspect that the idiots are being taken for a ride

The coincidence of the internet being invented with a wave of global boredom is not a happy one

I get loving retro stuff but this is waaaaaaaaaay too far.

Finally, a trade issue you care about.

I’m buying stocks in Chianti and guava beans

There must be a German word for a laugh that makes you go 'ow' :-)

😂

It's ok to have books bound in human skin if you get to choose the human and they had a good life.

It is? Excellent. ... Do you think Simon Godfrey has had a good life?

I'd forgetten that a post like this would be squarely within your purview...

lol absolutely not, no, but thanks for playing!

I can’t find the post now but I’m thinking of the person on Bluesky who owned a collection of skulls and made the same argument, then after some gentle questioning it emerged they were “making love” to them 🤮

okay that is it. shut down the whole entire internet.

They're dead, doesn't matter a jot what happens to the leftovers.

Well… We’ve had a good run.

Tch, you should only have the skulls of your enemies on your shelves, or preferably on your desk for use as an ashtray.

When I see stolen remains I feel respect, always respect

Half of them are going to end up as ashtrays.

All the skulls in my collection were earned, not bought Kids today just don't want to put the work in

It’s the Viking way!

Puppies at Xmas, rabbits at easter and now skulls at halloween. Remember, a skull is for life.

'selling a skull' and 'more respectful' in the same sentence somehow

"We appreciate your application but we won't be carrying forward at this time"

oh this has been going on for a while. i remember tumblr discourse about human bones like a decade ago

DON'T REMIND ME OF BONEGHAZI 😱😱😱😭

Sort of unrelated… Apparently med students who bought skeletons as part of their studies have a terrible job getting rid of them later.

Yes I would like to renew my human skull subscription

My friend was telling me about something he's seen where a widow "honoured her late husband's memory" by getting one of his tattoos excised, tanned and framed. Now, even as someone who never outgrew a love of Goth aesthetic, that's ew.

How much though could my kids get for my skull say, because they're not getting much inheritance, be nice if they got something...

Ah, .time to get back into the old old family business
