When it ends I’ll have an internet funeral.

red squiggly line without misspell
Green squiggly isn’t grammatically incorrect, either.
Nah.
You existence will be lost among endless SEO spam
Lost but not forgotten entirely! Maybe AI blogspam will use whatever remains of us in novel ways too :P

As the matter in the world birthed us… So too does our ingested data give them their nutrients. :)
Look, ma, I’m a molecule!
Link rot takes it all away. Once the profit motive is gone, everything fades. Like Friendster into the ether, we will be forgotten.
America needs a right to be forgotten. Some places have this right, cognizable under the privacy aspect of free speech.
Related rights are the rights to be free of defamation and libel, of intrusion upon seclusion, of misappropriation of name or likeness, of portrayal in a false light, and of public disclosure of private affairs.
Another related right, not recognized in American law, is the right of your work not to be plagiarized.
I am going to try and leave this world like I never existed. I have deleted my social media accounts that had my real name, and pictures. I have deleted all my dating accounts that had my picture. I deleted all of my google accounts that had my real name attached. I never have and never will take a dna test. I want to leave the world like it was before I existed.
You’re screwed on the DNA part if you have relatives who have taken the test though.
Yeah, I have a sister that might have. I don’t know though. We haven’t spoken in like 15 years.
Why? Why would you care if your data is harvested after you are gone or what anyone thinks about you after you die?
I don’t care what happens to my data after I die. I have left many contributions on Reddit, and I’m building a healthy amount of interactions here. I also ran a successful game server a long time ago and stuff about it are still out there.
It’s about what I want for my image personally. Like, some people want statues and monuments dedicated to themselves. I want the opposite. Which is harder to achieve these days than you’d think.
Yeah but why do you care one way or another?
The truth is that I don’t have a reason that makes sense to anyone other than me, but I’ll try and explain it.
I am a stay at home parent, and I drive a lot. Taking kids to various places. I decided that to support various local businesses I would leave google reviews. So, I started doing that, and they started doing really well.
After a while my phone started sending me notifications. It would be from google and would say something like “We see you went to X shop 2 days ago. Tell us about your experience. That kinda made me feel gross.
I started thinking about how much information we give up involuntarily, and don’t get it twisted. I don’t think that I’m “special”, or that these companies are after me specifically. But where I go, and what I do, and what I look at, and who I am is my business.
I know that I’ll leave some stuff behind. After all I’m on the internet right now. But, I’m going to support that system as little as I can and still be comfortable.
Up to you, I guess I don’t really care how I’m buried for example, but I’d certainly rather be dumped in the woods rather than embalmed and have a plot etc
I could get behind natural burial. Ask a mortician on YouTube is/was one of my favorite channels.
But yeah I don’t care what happens to my body. I’ll probably wind up in a potter’s field somewhere. Which is fine by me. Though it does seem like a huge waste. Like if I’m no longer using my body. It seems like they could at least feed it to some animals or something.
