They plan on taking their “long nap” in a chest freezer, with electrical bills prepaid so the freezer (hopefully) doesn’t lose power before someone finds their frozen body.
- Mistletoe 4y agoBut like how would one know they are going to die and crawl in? That sounds impossible and/or extremely painful. You could die 20 years ahead of time this way. A better solution seems to be something like a Fitbit or Apple Watch with a dead man’s switch feature that calls in every day. But honestly this all seems like an absurd thing to worry about.

- rightbyte 4y ago> But like how would one know they are going to die and crawl in? It does not seem like a very practical idea, no. A practical non-social solution would be like triggering a timer when the door is locked from the inside. If it is not re-triggered in three days the timer sounds a fire alarm, or something.
- lordnacho 4y agoHook up an apple watch or similar device to you while you live in the freezer that isn't turned on. Perhaps you just sleep in it. API call triggers if you die and it turns on, sends money to your utility provider from your bank.
- belltaco 4y agoAt that point why not make an automated call or text to the local police for wellness checks or to 911?
- Mistletoe 4y agoOh I definitely do not trust technology enough for that. Blue screen of death comes to mind. :) Sometimes I wonder if the whole generation that experienced how bad Windows could be has a healthy dose of skepticism for technology. Younger people that have had phones that are much more reliable (and locked down) seem to be the ones I can imagine sleeping in a Tesla with the FSD on.
- scotty79 4y agoOr just put a freezer on a timer so it kicks in automatically if you don't periodically bump up the timer. But the ventilation required to live in it would mess up energy efficiency and cutting out the air on timer seems a bit risky.

- cjbgkagh 4y agoI’m pretty sure there is one reliable way to predict one’s death, and I figure that’s the insinuation here. You’d need to be sure that someone would come looking for you before the power runs out otherwise it just a delay. My plan is to take increasingly death defying risks until my number comes up, that or paddle out into the ocean with a boat full of home made explosives.
- scotty79 4y agoYou can stop paying all your other bills and taxes. That bound to turn some heads in your direction.
- starkd 4y agoThis thread is getting a bit too morbid.
