What happens to you when you die?

You’ll all know when I die. The quality of my posts will increase.

At least until a princess comes by, kisses you, and turns you from a frog back into a [del]prince[/del] doper again.

In your case, perhaps you travel backwards in time and return as an invisible wombat. :slight_smile:

Funniest thing I read today.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

My husband is a doper, and I have doper facebook friends, so I’m assuming someone would eventually mention it on here.

When my first husband died, I had no idea where he was participating and didn’t know any of his passwords or anything even to log in to his computer and figure it out. I know he just disappeared from various sf, gaming, ham radio, and astronomy boards. It made me sad to realize that there were people who wondered where he went and no way for me to figure out who they were.

Online things are pretty ephemeral. The SDMB, I suspect, will die before I do.

Some Dopers here have added me as a friend on Facebook, so I imagine one of them would report my death here. Not that I hope I die soon or anything.

And, despite what Les Nessman told me, that has nothing to do with high heels and leather.

I’m only a guest, so I wouldn’t be noticed.
However, the staggering number of posts I have on IMDb and Quora should keep people reading my BS for years….:smiley:

Mine too. I mean my sister will say I’ve died. I can’t imagine how she’d find out that Baker had died.

I have to say, I hadn’t thought about it till I read this thread.

So I fired off an email to my brother, who’s got all my “in case I croak…” info, and added instructions about notifying Marley23 so I can be suitably entombed in the In Memoriam thread. :smiley:

I’ve asked my younger sister to do the honors for me, so assuming she doesn’t buy the farm first, I’m golden.

Admittedly, I doubt many would notice one way or another, but it would at least give a few Dopers once last chance to say, “Who?”

I’d hope that my wife posts something here if I go first. I’m always “on the straight dope” so I know she knows that this is my home on the internet. I have cancer, but no immediate danger of untimely death, so I’ve thought about that kind of thing. It’s something I should probably talk to her about specifically someday.

I’d be dead, but I’d be curious to see that thread. I hereby give my Doper antagonists permission to type what they really think of me. :smiley:

I recall hearing an NPR story about how spouses (etc) using the social media accounts of their dearly departed (even just to announce the death) is a technical violation of most user agreements.

Feeling chipper today.

Great thread/OP username combo!

He could do what an officer with circa thirty years honourable service here did a couple of months after he retired. He walked into a local bank in full uniform and robbed it. Successfully.

He shot himself later when the net began to close in…

That story really made me go :dubious:

This thread has made me think about this actually, that’s kind of sad. Nobody in real life knows my internet shenanigans. Though I hope that my death makes at least the national if not the international news and some smart people here but two and two together and recognise me. :smiley:

That made me wonder if anyone has ever faked their own death just to read the condolence thread to see what people would say about them.

You will be relegated to the zombie threads.

He was crushed. CRUSHED I tells ye. Crushed like a can of pineapples…

How is he?

First, he’s log-y

Then, he’s chipper…

I’m Netflixing FARGO today!
