I don’t give a fuck about being remembered. I just wanna enjoy my time while I’m here.
So far, it’s not going great.
Have you considered eating a great work of art to pass the time?

It pains me that I probably never do something so important that I will be remembered.
On there other hand, who was the right hand of Napoleon? Who decided the great pyramid should be build exactly there? What was the name of the guy who put the last stone in the Chinese wall? (Figurative speaking)
So to be remembered you need:
- do “great things” (not great specifically… You know what I mean)
- be the number one (second places don’t count)
- make such a major impact on the world that even after your society has collapsed, people still remember you.
So the chances that I am in a position to do this would require some massive effort and even then, chances are slim…
When I started typing this reply I was a bit depressed. Now I am finished it just highlights the importance of enjoying oneself while it lasts.
I would be concerned if napoleon’s right hand didn’t belong to him
Honestly it doesn’t even matter if you do an incredible thing, you’ll still be forgotten. Even somebody like Einstein will eventually be forgotten. Like what’s the name of the first person to make fire? And sure you can argue that we didn’t keep records back then like we do now right? Ok so whats the name of the first person to keep records?
Like what’s the name of the first person to make fire?
I’m pretty sure it’s Steve.
Actually, it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
/s
Adam and Steve sounds like the gay version of the bible
Well it wasn’t us. We didn’t start it.
If you’re #2 it helps to have a cool name. Otherwise I don’t think I’d know Buzz Aldrin.
Mostly agree, but the right hand of Napoleon (and other “helpers” of the famous) is well remembered, just not by everybody.
I have a training on mgmt. in a few weeks, and we are reading a case study on him, with a lot of names thrown around, including e.g. Berthier, his chief of staff.
I’m just saying that you don’t have to be the one in the spotlight to make an impact, and be remembered - maybe it’s even better to stay in the shadows and only be remembered by those who actually know the topic, and truly appreciate your work.
Your point with the “great” things is so true. All the “great” people of history that get remembered for a really long time are mostly some despots / royalty / tyrants that have done TERRIBLE things. Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Hannibal etc. and we now treat them like some super geniuses that built great empires. Some of them are even ‘worshipped’ in pop culture. Oh and yeah they killed a bunch of people but eh… price of being a great man I guess.
I wonder if Hitler will ever be talked about like this.
Check Twitter lately?
I want the peace of never having existed in the first place. So, being entirely forgotten is a second best kind of peace. Best one can get now.
I’ll overwrite you multiple times with random 0’s and 1’s if you’d like that?
I think the man is asking for a DBAN 7 pass
On a somehow related note, I just remembered this memory of me burning DBAN to a CD-ROM as a kid, and drawing a skull head on the disc to warn about its dangers!
I don’t exactly remember actually using DBAN back then. Though, I remember changing a forgotten Windows user password more than once by booting from some disc I had burned too, but I don’t think that was a DBAN feature?
Thank you! Thank you.

And that’s what makes shitposting grand.
Yes. Even if you eat the Mona Lisa. The heat death gets everything in the end. Sorry, bubz.
Go go gadget Nihilism
There was a guy in ancient Greece that burned down a famous temple for exactly that reason.
Never heard of him.
Fucking Greg.

Why would I care about being remembered? I’ll be dead.
Agreed I dont understand the pbsession with being remembered. I would rather be forgotten so no one has to mourn me
When I was a kid one of my goals in life became to be immortal. Not in like on sci-fi way of course. Still somewhat a goal of mine but not likely to achieve.
Social media is designed to make you feel worthless unless you are.
This was basically the plot of
Glass Onion
You don’t even need to eat all of it. Eyes or lips will do.
BECOME IMMORTAL BY EATING THE LAST SUPPER
It’s gotta be good. They made it with tempura!
Eh, what good does it do to have strangers know my name? That’s just a couple bytes of information, not who I am.
Is this the guy who ate an airplane?
Fuck having my name remembered its long and semi pretentious. I just want to be rembered by my actions and hopefully the effect on the world, in the same way as the beserker bastard at Stanford bridge.
Good luck with that. LOL
This is probably a poor choice of words, but…“if hitler can do it, so can I in a non-genocidal way”
I’d do it but actually succeed at the genocidal part
…on Nazis, right?
Yes, those too.
…eat the Mona Lisa?
Steal the Mona Lisa. In fact, that’s really the only reason it’s so popular today, because hitler wanted it and it was lost for a while. Eating the Mona Lisa will just be my thing.
