Obviously hypothetical. Just curious what others would do.

    If you were lucky enough to have been married to the love of your life twice but both of them die before you, which one do you spend the afterlife with?

    If your infant child dies, do you spend eternity with them changing their diapers?

    You’re reunited with your high school sweetheart but they died in a car crash at 15 and you at 90. You spend eternity with a “kid” as an afterlife lover?

    You had a dozen pets in your life- you have to have them all in the same house at the same time forever?

      Here’s one.

      If when you’re alive, it’s said there are many versions of you, because everyone knows you a little differently and perceives things differently.

      Imagine when you’re dead, that every time you see someone, you each see your favorite/most known version of each other. So the example of HS sweetheart, they’d see you as a 15yo. Dead spouse, same, they’d see you how you last were and vice versa.

      You could be so much to so many people… Imagine how nice that’d be!

    I would believe that I am a brain in a jar hooked to electrodes in some kind of future sci-fi hell before I believe that I am experiencing paranormal magic woo.

    It really depends. Can they see my flings and hookups and everything in real time over the course of my life? If so, I’ll need 30+ post-death years to get over the embarrassment.

    I would ask my childhood friend how he died. A few years after we lost contact, he was found dead on his bed in the first day of his two-week PTO. I had just signed into a job in that same city and was thinking about reaching out to him.

    I think the option to commit suicide just became easier for me if this was the case. However, some of my better friends are still alive so I’m not going to.

    Make up a bunch of arbitrary mystical rules about who will be lucky enough to enjoy this new paradise and who will be relegated to an eternity of misery.
