It’s not just the time, but the place. Its origins are very NorCal-specific and it got ridiculously overused around 2001-2002. I was on a different forum back then that was like 92% 18 to 27-year old AAPIs from California, and “hella” was the dividing line between NorCal and SoCal
Now that you mention it, the first time I remember hearing it was friend a friend from San Francisco. She was hot so it stuck.It’s not just the time, but the place.

When you die you die. It's scary, but humans are just more advanced animals. Our brains struggle to accept death and finding some blissful alternative is a coping mechanism with the harsh reality that every living thing, with some exceptions, dies as part of the general cycle of life.
That would make sense.... since I never, EVER, heard anyone say "hella" until someone played that No Doubt song for me.It’s not just the time, but the place.

I believe there is a soul and that consciousness extends beyond life.
That’s a great question and I’m not really sure how it would work. I think it would be closer to the free love situation, but people who loved each other truly and deeply could find each other.
And also a swinging child...? That's oddly specific.
It was the most nothing gif I could find……it’s like tenor doesn’t understand the meaning of nothing
I have given this a lot of thought and have strong beliefs about it. But there isn't a short, one or two line answer. But - we are definitely not alone in whatever it is that comes next (in my opinion).
This is a fun concept to think about and has been used for movies and television.
Kind of makes sense to me... "you want nothing? Okay. I'm going to give you nothing. Not a damn thing."It was the most nothing gif I could find……it’s like tenor doesn’t understand the meaning of nothing
It is less expensive to travel in the afterlife?
That’s why it’s “Heaven” travel is free
Tricky. My mind says it's lights out, good night, but my heart is still buddhist. As the samsara continues, one is reborn again and again and again, striving through self improvement to finally say "yeah fuck this noise, I'm out" and then peacing off to nirvana.
I don't know. I'd like to think there's more.
Our energy exists. It has to go somewhere. So whether that moves into some other life, or being or whatever, noone knows. It's unlikely it will be as who we are. But not impossible.
If I was to pick an answer. I'll take this one.Tricky. My mind says it's lights out, good night, but my heart is still buddhist.

I believe that rebirth is instantaneous; your self leaves your body at the time of death, and is reborn as another life somewhere else with nothing in between, while some paths believe there is a time of nothingness (many believe in a very specific time frame of 49 days) which to me is absolutely ridiculous. Those silly people. Of course it's instant.
I always found it funny how the abrahamic religions speak about eternal life as the ultimate reward, while I just wanna be done with it all.
