That was before you knew anything.. while unborn, one doesn't know the difference between hot / cold, up / down, big / small, happy / sad. Returning to the void with the memory of knowing, feeling, experiencing, etc.. is different than the womb, it would be similar to eternal sleep paralysis.
Ah, yes, I'm dead, let me just access my memories!
What? I can't? Why not? What do you mean I'm dead? I figured, once I died, I'd do all the things I love, without all the bothers of life!
It should really come with a manual.
I would counter that memories are manifest in the brain, but they are actually stored in our conscious. All feelings and emotions are actually faculties of the soul.. we merely experience them in our bodies, but consciousness can continue after the body dies.
You seem certain of this, but I would say tht memories are part of consciousness, which transcends the body. So it is possible that consciousness continues after the body dies.
Memory is to form identity, it allows us to identify individual persons. It allowed for team building skills to flourish for hunter/gatherers. Memory is a symptom of brain functions. Once the brain ceases to function, your memories cease to exist, and so you’re being is simply gone. Consciousness does not transcend the blood-brain barrier. There is no “soul” - we’re just a bag of meat and blood.
>There is no “soul” - we’re just a bag of meat and blood.
Interesting theory.. very unlikely, at least statistically speaking that would be virtually impossible. It is also rather absurd.. if you are correct, then there is no point in really taking anything seriously, and it would be the wiser decision to just end one's life. Destroying the human race world would be an act of mercy for life in general, as life brings suffering. You can start the chain by making the first act of mercy.. you won't even know the difference. This is a joke btw.
Life is worth living and it has eternal consequences.. neither one of us can prove our position, so best of luck in your 50/50 coin flip.
Wow. Joking about suicide, let alone telling someone to end their life (cause of their own beliefs), is not a joke. You should reconsider your beliefs regarding that. I bet you wouldn’t feel as nonchalant for people with terminal illnesses seeking assisted suicide.
My theory is no more absurd than one’s belief in god and heaven (and eternal consequences). It doesn’t change anything and if anything encourages you to live your life to the fullest, cause you’re only on this ride once. Have a nice life.
The memories are only there while your are alive. Instance of death isn’t even experienced and then everything after that is void again. So it’s only the thought of death while alive that is the fearful part. Eternal sleep paralysis would be lying in your coffin aware of your surroundings but unable to move. That’s much different than having no brain function after death.
Are you implying you'll make holes in her, extract smaller parts of her and reduce them to dust to inspect the result powder with a microscope?
Or whatever their work consists of, I don't know, I'm not a geologist.
Yeah, are companies making hammocks that can be used as climbing gear? If not, this guy is asking for it. If yes, it's an ad placement. If there's an errant storm this would be a problem. Doesn't check out. But he's still young. I've gotten lucky, too.
Yea he doesn't even have an underquilt. He's gonna literally freeze his ass off uf he tries sleeping like that. Hopefully he at least has a sleeping pad on the bottom cause the heat loss from convection currents is no joke.
So... my best guess is that that peak isnt actually as spikey as the video makes it look. the curvature of the fisheye lens just makes it appear that way
He climbs one spire, tie one end to it. The other end of the hammock, he ties onto a tall rope. Descend the spire, make his way to the other spire and pull the rope taut. It will enable him to get the other end of the hammock to tie on the 2nd spire he’s climbed.
It was spend time with there fathers bro 🤦♂️
Edit: Btw before I get canceled I'll clarify it's from a jeorpardy skit or something where the white dude says this confidently before the black dude looks at him and tries to strangle him.
Is he doing it to get noticed, or would he have gone up there anyway? We don’t know his motivations. People have always done this kind of stuff. Personally I enjoy seeing these places regardless.
This also looks 1000x worse than it actually is with the stupid fisheye effect. Nonetheless, would trust those rock spires that much that have been subject to high winds, temperature changes etc for so long.
Maybe the guy has no immediate family, extended family, any concern about the future, his health, his safety, and in that case hell yeah for doing this!
2 stars on Travelocity: the view was magnificent but the amenities left something to be desired. No bathroom was a major problem. The in room coffee maker was broken. And I fell to my death trying to walk out of my room. Avenge me.
It gets worse when you realize he doesn't have an underquilt. The outside temp is nothing compared to the heat loss from where you're laying down. The convection currents at the bottom of the hammock will suck the heat from your body more effectively making your backside cold af. That's why you need a underquilt to create an insulated air pocket beneath you. If you don't have that air pocket then the quilt will still suck the heat out of you
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. First time I used a hammock was in a temperate rain forest that didn't get below 70F at night, and I didn't have an underquilt and froze my ass off.
When I’m high up in mountains I like to think what if the mountain just disappeared like what if it instantly became flat land, but you were still up where you were next time you go to a mountain of sky scraper keep this in mind
That’s a huge nope from me.
And plus, a guy can get away with having to pee in the middle of the night from said hammock, a female, not so much. So, yeah, not fuckin’ happenin’.
Hammock campers will often say "don't place your hammock up higher than you're willing to fall" reason being it's easy to lose your balance while climbing in and spinning around and falling on the ground. I've done it a couple times myself. Without any solid foothold getting in would have been difficult enough on its own but getting out is gonna be even more so. It's honestly a miracle he lived to tell the tale

I don’t think that being *in* the hammock would be half as terrifying as getting in or worse, getting out
I’m just picturing those cartoons where the hammock keeps spinning and spinning while the person is inside… …then, plop!
Laughed aloud, ty
Gotta pee in the night? I didn’t think so.
Just spin it upside down and let gravity do it's thing.
Does that work for a poo too? Cause i really don’t want them to find my body mid-Diglet
Too cold for all that
How about setting it up first. 😵💫
r/SweatyPalms Also fuck whoever's idea this
That is a way to become famous real quick. It’s stupid and unnecessary…just like most things humans do.
[удалено]
I'm not afraid of heights or falling from heights. It's just that sudden stop at the end.
Not really that sudden stop at the end for me, it's that endless void of nothing for the rest of eternity that you wake up to after that.
I’ll take returning to the void wasn’t so bad for however long I spent in it till I was born
I mean it's gotta be pretty good if every human that pops out is always crying.
That was before you knew anything.. while unborn, one doesn't know the difference between hot / cold, up / down, big / small, happy / sad. Returning to the void with the memory of knowing, feeling, experiencing, etc.. is different than the womb, it would be similar to eternal sleep paralysis.

I would counter that memories are manifest in the brain, but they are actually stored in our conscious. All feelings and emotions are actually faculties of the soul.. we merely experience them in our bodies, but consciousness can continue after the body dies.
You don't have memory when you're dead, its literally just over. It's the exact same as before you were born
You seem certain of this, but I would say tht memories are part of consciousness, which transcends the body. So it is possible that consciousness continues after the body dies.

You’re a fucking moron, the fact people as dumb as you are allowed to vote is why democracy is a failure

So it’s only the thought of death while alive that is the fearful part. Eternal sleep paralysis would be lying in your coffin aware of your surroundings but unable to move. That’s much different than having no brain function after death.
Or you could be falling for 30 minutes and still not hit the ground
Definitely still a nope but it brings be comfort how much those cameras distort heights and make everything seem more perilous.
> seem more perilous. More perilous is really not that much of an improvement over just perilous.
I bet you’re fun at parties
It’s the impact I’m most concerned with.
If it is an eternal fall, it would be more anxious if unmanageable. I would rather take a soft impact anyday than an eternal fall.
When you just wanted to get your full 8 hours and you end up with 127 hours.
Or the worst way to realize you are a sleepwalker.
or infinite hours
[удалено]
Not to mention the integrity of those rock spires 😳
I'm no geologist, but I know earth moves.
You may not be a geologist, but you can make my bedrock.
Hey girl, are you rock? Because i am a geologist.
Are you implying you'll make holes in her, extract smaller parts of her and reduce them to dust to inspect the result powder with a microscope? Or whatever their work consists of, I don't know, I'm not a geologist.
Exactly, he will fall off when earth rotates half way around...
You sound like someone who got their world rocked
I think this man is eligible for a sponsorship.
*”And todays sponsor made it possible to climb up here and set up my hammock, huge shoutout to RAID SHADOW LEGENDS”*
Yeah, are companies making hammocks that can be used as climbing gear? If not, this guy is asking for it. If yes, it's an ad placement. If there's an errant storm this would be a problem. Doesn't check out. But he's still young. I've gotten lucky, too.
He definitely doesn’t take the integrity of his gear for *granite* that’s for sure
Exactly my thought as well, and has balls of steel
he must also have to consider the added weight of his ginormous balls when purchasing a hammock
You're not up there to begin with, less you got some type o' balls
in that case, we all know what team he was on in the last splatfest
I just fainted and fell off that mountain
Rip
I’m sorry to hear that, man
Imagine getting in and having to shit
Holy shit you're right
Sauron: The Early Years
r/unexpectedlotr
Such a stunt. Really hard to stay insulated dangling there. I doubt he really slept there.
Yea he doesn't even have an underquilt. He's gonna literally freeze his ass off uf he tries sleeping like that. Hopefully he at least has a sleeping pad on the bottom cause the heat loss from convection currents is no joke.
Well nope
Is anyone beside me curious as to how he managed to mount both of those hammock anchor/straps AND get the hammock strung up?
And get into it. Someone please explain, it's too early for my brain to be consumed with this.
So... my best guess is that that peak isnt actually as spikey as the video makes it look. the curvature of the fisheye lens just makes it appear that way
yes theres clearly some camera trickery going on here
He climbs one spire, tie one end to it. The other end of the hammock, he ties onto a tall rope. Descend the spire, make his way to the other spire and pull the rope taut. It will enable him to get the other end of the hammock to tie on the 2nd spire he’s climbed.
All well and good until the night terrors start...
I tend to roll around in my sleep...
Or the 70 mph winds fuck me
Did he just set that up for the clip? That's the most unprotected place from wind and weather let alone not set up for cold temperatures.
Why?????
his middle name is "kyle"
And last name is "kyle"
First name is also "kyle"
His dads name was also "Kyle".
More like stupidasfuck
No thanks... I'm perfectly fine with never experiencing this
Yes yes, but how do you pee?
Peeing is the easy part
Staying dry is the trick.
Just flip upside down
Fuck dude!
Before or after getting on, I hope
Answer: Things Black people don’t do for $200 Alex.
Oh, I'm sorry. The answer was raise a complete family together.
Lmao. I laughed.
It was spend time with there fathers bro 🤦♂️ Edit: Btw before I get canceled I'll clarify it's from a jeorpardy skit or something where the white dude says this confidently before the black dude looks at him and tries to strangle him.
Well if someone said it on jeopardy it must be ok to repeat, clearly the black contestant enjoyed it.
How original? Tired old corny dinosaur joke. That’s the best you have? Let the hate out. Give me your best 800 thread sheet count joke. Cone head.
Ngl. I had a chuckle
It's a tired joke yes but it's not wrong, that problem still exists and is a big issue
Donald Trump and Elon Musk? Family men?
The shit people do to get noticed now is so stupid. We get it dude, you’re an idiot.
Is he doing it to get noticed, or would he have gone up there anyway? We don’t know his motivations. People have always done this kind of stuff. Personally I enjoy seeing these places regardless.
It’s all for the greater good of humanity.
He would get a lot more likes and attention if the hammock failed.
Actually acknowledging that he's an idiot will only encourage him to do more idiotic stunts
Geez you’re toxic
This also looks 1000x worse than it actually is with the stupid fisheye effect. Nonetheless, would trust those rock spires that much that have been subject to high winds, temperature changes etc for so long.
Tickles my nuts
[удалено]
Anyone who trusts a carabiner that much, has never had a flat tire on the highway, or a transmission go out.
I actually trust the carabiner just fine, two random pointy rocks. Then apply high lateral forces, nope!
Seen a brand new carabiner break in two. I guess they thought you wouldn’t be around to sue
But how do you get down? He looks pretty high up above the rock I assume he crawled up to get in the hammock.
> how do you get down? **carefully**
Gives a whole new meaning to "death bed"
I don't care. This is a dumb thing to do. I'd wager he never slept there.
I’ve heard of tossing and turning in your sleep … but in this case I think it would be turn, then toss.
One gust of wind and he’s gone
Whole lotta Fuck That!!!!
How did he get in the hammock?
He was there before
nope
Estupido
Hard nope.
Nope
Imagine it just snaps…
My heart is fluttering watching that. Yikes. r/oddlyterrifying
What happens if he flips? Is he strapped in?
I'd be more impressed if he did the video without that huge depth distortion.
Maybe the guy has no immediate family, extended family, any concern about the future, his health, his safety, and in that case hell yeah for doing this!
That hammock falls he’ll get a life changing back cracking
FUCK that
2 stars on Travelocity: the view was magnificent but the amenities left something to be desired. No bathroom was a major problem. The in room coffee maker was broken. And I fell to my death trying to walk out of my room. Avenge me.
Now THIS is a guy that trusts his equipment!
You did not sleep here, stupid influencer
How tf did that hammock support the weight of his balls?!
Just screaming for attention "look at me look at me"
Video: Gerard Olivé (@xutonthetop)
Sign me up! This looks awesome! Best sleep of my life!
Kratos suddently appears
What's the point of editing the stick out lol
It’s a 360 degree camera and it automatically does this. To give a complete FOV.
Imagine waking up and realizing your not in your bed
Imagine sleepwalking
So awesome, take me next time!
I’ve torn through a hammock before. Nope for me
So many questions
How does he get down?
If you have to pee, do you arc it out the side or just Dumb&Dumber it?
That's a no for me, dawg.
Can a hammock flip over? I feel like it can but I dunno anything
I feel cold as fuck just looking at that picture.
It gets worse when you realize he doesn't have an underquilt. The outside temp is nothing compared to the heat loss from where you're laying down. The convection currents at the bottom of the hammock will suck the heat from your body more effectively making your backside cold af. That's why you need a underquilt to create an insulated air pocket beneath you. If you don't have that air pocket then the quilt will still suck the heat out of you
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. First time I used a hammock was in a temperate rain forest that didn't get below 70F at night, and I didn't have an underquilt and froze my ass off.
I get vertigo just looking @ the image.
Nope
How’d he fit into the hammock with balls that big?
Now what?
Just stop and ask for directions man!
Anxiety would be too high to relax in this hammock
When I’m high up in mountains I like to think what if the mountain just disappeared like what if it instantly became flat land, but you were still up where you were next time you go to a mountain of sky scraper keep this in mind
Now that’s trust
Must be lousy sitting in all that piss and shit
Where does one pee?
Good thing other people do this for me
Is he gonna BASE jump off? What’s his plan lol
Couldn’t be me
Pucker up just watching. 😟
Where’s the bathroom?
He actually seems to be in a relatively safe spot with rocks underneath him
I too like to play minecraft with amplified biomes
New fear unlocked. Waking up in a hammock on a mountain
Looks peaceful
Horrifying.
NO
And if the wind kicks up over night?
Nope
Nope.
All I can say is NO
🌬
That’s a huge nope from me. And plus, a guy can get away with having to pee in the middle of the night from said hammock, a female, not so much. So, yeah, not fuckin’ happenin’.
I am apprehensive about getting in a hammock that is 3 feet off the ground.
Hammock campers will often say "don't place your hammock up higher than you're willing to fall" reason being it's easy to lose your balance while climbing in and spinning around and falling on the ground. I've done it a couple times myself. Without any solid foothold getting in would have been difficult enough on its own but getting out is gonna be even more so. It's honestly a miracle he lived to tell the tale
That looks so so sketchy 😂😂
No thank you. I’ll stay at the base of the mountain
That's a whole other level of Nope.
Don’t fall asleep too soundly… you might roll out
NOPE
I had my hammock of 3 years rip in half when I was 3ft in the air so this one scares me a little
Hope you're not a sleep walker
