Hello Veeky Forums, this might be a brainlet question but I’d like to ask how you guys deal with death. I know this is more of a personal philosophy thing than anything, though I wanna know from people who probably understand science far better than I do if they think it’s truly an eternal oblivion type deal or something completely different.
If mods think this question would be more appropriate on another board, feel free to delete.

We are a collection of experiences, the universe experiencing itself. We are all made of stardust and when we die that particular experience ends,obviously fight the dying of the light but learn to accept the end of that as a good friend.
it would be more appropriate in a trash can honestly, what the fuck are you even trying to ask? everything ends
He's asking how to deal with existential dread of death.
I have a candy but I can only eat it once, boo hoo
>an eternal oblivion type deal or something completely different.
I've never really understood why this idea frightens people. Yes, when you die you will (probably) stop existing, and you will continue to not exist for the rest of eternity. But it's not like you're aware of your own non-existence - you don't exist, so there's no one to be aware of anything. Your experience ends with the last consious moment of your life and that's it, end of story. You're not going to sit around and watch other people do things or stare at a blank wall forever and ever - the end is the end and that's it. Its not something to be afraid of any more than the hours you spend unconsious each night.
Now, being afraid of *dying* is a completely different and understandable thing, since it might be painful and our minds fight against our deaths by instinct. But there's really no reason to be afraid of what comes after that, apart from FOMO.
You cannot be conscious of being unconsious. We are immortal my dude, we are literally gods.
