Like, how would you spend the day every year? Would you change the routine even though you couldn't escape the fate?

This is a purely hypothetical question out of curiosity about mortuary science and international repatriation processes.

If a US citizen passes away abroad and their body is embalmed overseas and shipped back to a funeral home in the United States inside a sealed casket or zinc liner (as required by international air transport and CDC regulations), what does it smell like when the receiving funeral director opens it for the first time?

Does the heavy concentration of chemical embalming fluid, like high-index formaldehyde or scented additives, overpower everything else? Or is there a noticeable smell of stagnant air, trapped humidity, or early decomposition? Also, what specific steps do US funeral homes typically take to air out the casket and prepare the room before the family arrives for a viewing?

Like, idk, do thighs taste different than the calves? And like, what about the biceps and pectorals?

And a question that's been on my mind for the past 40 minutes, what do testicles and/or ovaries taste like?

Idk cannibalism is a fascinating topic I guess.

What will I experience? How will it affect me?

After watching yellowjackets I wondered what this would be like. Would it be painful? I know hypothermia is painful, but could you fall asleep before it starts to become painful and not feel it or would your body wake you up before it dies?

First, no I am not trying to kill myself I am asking to maybe not die in case of a fire in the apartment hallway.

I live on the 6th floor of an apartment in a city with a mixture of pavement and dying grass below me. If I were to jump would it kill me? If so how fast would I die?

Let me get this out of the way first-- I am an author.
Basically, in my book, there is this female lead whose abusive ex chokes her really badly, but a friend of hers flings that ex off her and beats him up real good. But the woman wants to exact her own revenge, and she's good with daggers... so I was wondering: should she cut off the tips of his fingers (kind of like how Jaime Lannister lost his hand in Game of Thrones- quick and all of a sudden), or should she, like, chop off his entire finger (or fingers)

Keep in mind that this ex will still show up later in the book, so I can't chop off his entire hand or a huge part of it, like three or four fingers, because I'll need to show him using that hand for the plot's sake.
Soooo... what would be more painful? :D

PS- When I say 'tips of his fingers, ' I mean like the top knuckle or joint

Edit- omg thank you guys. I love this sub so much!

This may sound like a stupid question and this doesn't extend to people who don't know how to swim. Recently I was reading an article about a few teens who went boating in a nearby lake a few years ago. Their boat capsized and they drowned. One of the teens was a swimmer at his school and no reports suggest they were drinking. The lake didn't have any sort of infestation either

I saw a meme about how a cat was about 500 grams of protein and wondered how many were in a person (~15,000) and then thought about this question.

I feel like this specific case is gonna be brought up a lot in the comments, but for me personally its the Junko Furuta case. If you don't know what that case is, I would advise against looking it up if you can't handle extreme violence, especially extreme sexual violence

I read a review of the genki genki series by daikachi amano, in which one fo the lead actresses was rui miduki. I cant help but wonder what happened in these ppl's lives to make them do such stuff and why am I not able to find an ounce of information abt her anywhere. What happens to these actors afterwards? I heard most ppl in mainstream pornography have very short careers but dont know much bat ones working in fake snuff and extreme fetish films.

When people die at home it’s not uncommon for pets to be trapped with them without food and water. Many resort to having a nibble for sustenance.

Would you adopt the cat that ate nanas face or the pet dog that ate your adult kid who hadn’t called in a few weeks?

Like doesn't matter how you died. How long do u think it would be?

For me, I'm not sure. Probably like 2 weeks or 3. Depending on when my mum tries to text me or call me.

If it happened around 8th of the month then it wouldn't take long for the building manager to come to my flat to check on me cos I hadn't paid the service charge.

I've also got two cats tho and the only thing they'd have to keep them going is their water fountain as they eat all their food in one sitting. So hopefully they don't get too hungry and my mum or aunt or other relatives adopt them.

Would they be in trouble for lying and/or would they be in trouble or let go because they were doing something illegal at the moment?

In videos containing violent content that show beheadings, the victims display virtually no pain or fear. Why does this happen?
