Hello August!
Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What’s not as good as it used to be?
Life
I’d argue (just for kicks) that life as always been as bad as it has always been. But death, that has gone a lot worse, lol!
Magastos mabuhay, mas magastos mamatay (unless you’re skipping all the formalities of a wake, funeral, cremation or burial, in which case, yeah, it’s still free).
And then we have all these choices for death now, you can still die from the classic plague, but there’s new ones as well! You can also die from overwork, loneliness, all the flavors of cancer you can ever imagine, being ground into mincemeat…
Wait, I am arguing that death has become worse, right? HAHAHAHA!
Nah, death is more peaceful than what we live through right now. Instantaneous death would be a better choice.
By the way, my original comment is referenced from a Supertramp’s song
Ah, thanks for the help with the reference. It totally wooshed past me.
