Bless my heart for thinking it was for corpse makeup…
damn i thought the title of the post was a slur and not did you know
To pay them less? That’s so fucked up.
Well, one more reason to die in a blaze of glory.
Because the corpses don’t tell them how pretty they’d look if they smiled?
Haha heh ahhh lol
Dudes just wanna crack open a cold one.
Dudes just wanna snap into a slim jim
uncomfortable upvote
The fucking quality of your oneliners, a thing of beauty.
But Lemmy is blue for an upvote
Ugh. Take my upvote.
There was some (mildly) famous case, I think a book was written about it, of a woman who was a necrophiliac and worked at a morgue. There was a big reddit thread about it years ago.
Also corpses turn rigid.
Just saying.
Bit chauvinistic to assume women can’t be necrophiles if they put their minds to it, innit?
Unlike the FBI I don’t make crass assumptions about my perverts.
so i guess it was a massive red flag when i asked them how many cameras were in the room during my interview
No, but telling them about your Twitch channel was a bad idea.
“Yes sir, I do onlyfans as a side gig.”
Yes but…
Yes, but that’s temporary. They’ll get tender after a while 💖
A massive priapism!
I mean, honest question that I really do not want to google. Is this actually a wide spread problem?
It’s not even true, classic internet misinformation. I’m shocked Lemmy isn’t calling it out, it’s slowly becoming reddit
just your run of the mill misandry.
personally I’m all for it. I’m an equal opportunist and believe that all sexes and orientations are pieces of shit.
people are fucking disgusting.
wide spread
Ok that ones on me, I should’ve caught that
Ok that ones on me
That’s what the corpse said!
I had an ex who worked in this field, she went to mortuary school and worked in mortuaries, before that she worked in organ transplant. She went into the field because of a combination of personal tragedy (a close one passing away at an early age) and seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event.
Anyhow, she and I would talk about it often. One of the things she would note on, wasn’t that it was sexual based things men would do (besides general office sexism coming from men on occasion), but more about the level of respect they showed the deceased. Crude Comments they’d make about their weight, features etc…
So I think it just depends and it would be difficult to verify these other claims because the “victims” are deceased and most things related to it seem to be anecdotal.
I’m also not going to google necro in anyway
(Also yes, she was kinda emo/metal an had some pretty sick tattoos)
seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event
I sure wish I’d had this experience with the funeral home I picked out when my dad died. I called them to arrange to pick up his body, and the answering service was AI and obviously so. I gave them his name and the voice read it back to me to confirm it as “Robert common name R-O-B-E-R-T, Smith common name S-M-I-T-H”. Then the owner ghosted me for more than a week and only delivered the urn with the ashes in the night before the internment at 8:00, left it outside and split before I could talk to him. 8 grand well spent.
True. Humans only become valuable once they are dead.
They only say you were a good person once you are dead, say you were too young, they go “if only we knew, they seemed fine” if you kill yourself, then go to imvestigate, once you are already dead.
How many writers were ridiculed and rejected, before becoming famous AFTER their death?
Once you are more like an object, once you have no more feelings, is when they start actually valuing you for what you were.
Same as how people will value their cars, or precious things more than people.
Same as how people romanticise native americans, years after they were almost exterminated completelly (while mostly treating those still alive like shit).
Herodotus mentions it in The Histories written around 430 BCE.
I just meant in modern times is it a wide spread problem that morticians are fucking the dead. You think that shit would hit the news if it was is all.
Shitty pay, crappy hours, being surrounded by the dead all the time… You either gotta love the job or end up loving the dead…
Some jobs need to be done, but who’s to do them? Can one be completely sane and handle this kind of life without issue for years on end? Most of the people employed tell themselves it’s just a job and spend their time dodging the reality of handling the dead all the time, but a few… well… they go all in.
Normal is a state of mind that has us come to grips with that which is beyond our control.
My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.
There is a lesson here. Have these conversations today with your loved ones about final arrangements. I promise you that many of them would rather be buried in a casket from Costco and have the money spent on literally anything else.
This is especially true if they’re going to be cremated.
All of my loved ones want to have their organs donated to science, then have the leftovers cremated.
Put my brain in whatever robot you will use to serve as a hard drive.
What could go wrong?
You might live forever.
Nothing is forever, friend.
Let it be known, if it is too costly to shape my ashes into a spear and shoot it into the heart of the sun, or to build a statue of me Conan-posing on a throne of skulls surrounded by scantily-clad babes, just put me in a coffee can with some fireworks and light the fuse
I’m guessing it’s hard to come by reliable stats. It’s on the same level as priests abusing children, the cover-up would be extensive. But, it’s even harder, because the corpse can’t testify in court, or make a YouTube video.
I fucking hate humans.
You know that Dr. Who meme? The one where the blonde woman asks “Is it a lot?”
Just think of it that way.
Clara is a brunette, I just want to clarify that in case people get confused about which meme. :) (It took me a sec)
What exactly are the reasons?
Less pay, longer hours, and the hiring manager plans to sexually harass his workforce.
Now that’s believable
Apparently they think women don’t wanna fuck corpses. But I am pretty sure the people that go into that industry are probably cut from the same cloth
If that’s actually the reason then I must be doing pretty good mentally because it would’ve taken me a while to think of that, not a “we all know because it’s obvious” tier thing
Shit post indeed.
It’s mechanically difficult for women to do it since corpses don’t have blood flow. Much more creativity needed.
Oh hey, that reminds me of Karen Greenlee
nsfw
That actually has fulfilled my morbid curiosity, thank you … also, there seems to be a lot of squeemish people around
you’d have to be there I guess
I would prefer not thanks Karen
Cool, can I unread that now
Sorry, now you’ll inadvertently think of it every time you see a morgue. Have fun!
I had already forgotten
inflate it with an air pump
Or, tie it off and inject it with saline. More, um, life-like that way.
They could have girldick, you dunno.
Don’t they have machines for pumping fluids through veins? Seems like that would be useful in that situation…
Except when theyre not, get traumatized, and become an amazing lead vocalist for a world famous nü metal band…
Because dead men cant interrupt?
