“Self-mummification”
He’s not allowed to die until his student loans are paid off.
Mitch?
Looks too lively for him.
I’ve heard tales of Tibetan monks who meditate so hard they mummify themselves
It’s not just meditation, but it’s also a strict diet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_mummy
Some Shingon monks in Japan practiced Sokushinbutsu (即身仏), which caused their own death by adhering to a wood-eating diet consisting of salt, nuts, seeds, roots, pine bark, and urushi tea. They were then buried alive in a pine-wood box with the only opening being a tube for air, meditating in lotus position and occasionally ringing a bell to signal they were alive. When the bell stopped ringing, the box would be dug up and treated as a buddha, granting favor provided it was preserved.
Yeah, no thanks
Christianity is so much more wholesome, with the torture, human sacrifice, cannibalism, and whatnot.
yeah at least the monks are only doing crazy religious shit to themselves.
It sucks how everyone needs to pick one.
I hung out with one of these corpses in Tashi Jong. He was a togden.
He doesn’t look a day over a hundred and seven
ah shit, i thought they finally released a photo of ol’ Mitch.
Please label NSFL, thank you
Why would you screenshot that site here?!
And also a lot of us, maybe a majority of us, don’t care if this was a recycled joke from Reddit because it’s not like we’ve seen it on Reddit … we don’t use that place.

Are old people not safe for work now?
I can see a clearly sexual nipple there!
But it’s a male nipple. Only female nipples are scandalous. Male nipples are just normal nipples. That’s how it works.
Then how do you explain this questionaboner I’m having?
It’s a medical mystery.
Why?
Is it NSFW though?
“I just want to berate people for breaking the rules, ANY rules, because that’s what I need to feel good about myself for 3 seconds.”
be a better person than this.
are there tags in lemmy?
its the checkmark called “NSFW” right before you hit the button to post…
Technically speaking it’s not a tag.
Actually speaking it does the job.
Still I object!
