Yes, this was actually the comic presented the day of Christopher Hitchens's death. Go C&H!

Rehosting Cyanide & Happiness on imgur is the laziest of lazy content.
[–]InfintySquared 6 points7 points8 points 5 months ago
Thank you. It bugs the heck out of me when people post a comic strip image on imgur, thus denying the comic artist the linkthroughs, as well as possible new fans and ad revenue.
At least this one didn't strip out the identifying information from the image as well.

I thought I read somewhere that the C&H guys were cool with it as long as they kept the URL on the bottom.

this would only be true if the other place was exactly the same as Earth. If the other place is worse, then he may not be going to a better place by default.
[–]tashtrac 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Glad I'm not the only one scratching my head over this one.
[–]human_folly 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Exactly, it is a nice sentiment but logically flawed.
[–]belloch -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
You have to think of the perspective too. On whose perspective is the world worse off without the great people?
[–]slimmyshady 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
a little African boy from a Brazilian tribe in the Amazon?
[–]GrelodTheKind 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
OK. I must be fuckin' stupid, but I don't get this comic, and since it has been reposted so many times, it is obvious a lot of people do.
Here's what I get from it: The world is worse off without them, so it means they are in a better place by default? We can't say they're in another place at all... most likely they simply don't exist anymore. So would this comic be saying that not-existing is a better alternative to living in a world sans the dead person? Kinda weird.
[–]incindyary 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
They're in a better place: the past.
[–]belloch 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Technically they don't exist in this world after death, so they are not here. Even if they are in "nowhere", it's a better "place" because the world they previously were in has become worse now that they are gone.
[–]guy_lovejoy 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
logically flawed, downvoted
[–]Ragnalypse 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Except they no longer exist. You don't have a body, you are one.
They're not in any place.
[–]AphexWin 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
I don't think people stop existing once you put them into the ground
[–]MrCronkite 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
A person is not merely a body. A person is the connections between neurons and the carefully preserved ion gradients that decay within hours, if not minutes. By the time they are in the ground, that is gone.
[–]AphexWin 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
A person also happens to be what you'd call a human, dead or alive.
[–]Ragnalypse 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
By that logic, they're in the same place we are.
Unless you're talking about an "afterlife", in which case you're an idiot.
[–]AphexWin -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
That was my point asshole. After a person dies, they become a dead body, they don't become non-existent. I didn't say anything about an afterlife either, you're being a cunt for no good reason.
Usually we ascribe someone's "being" to their consciousness, which ceases to exist once the brain cells are dead.
Chill the fuck out, or be correct.
Consciousness also ceases to exist when you get knocked out, become brain dead, or fall into a coma, I guess we stop existing when those things happen to us. It's also kind of odd to tell someone to chill out when you insulted them first, for no reason.
I told you to chill the fuck out or be correct, I fall under the second category even if you debate the first.
Your mind still exists when you're unconscious, but if your brain cells are dead then "you" do not exist. This isn't a philosophical debate, that is simply what we refer to as "you".
You didn't say that someone's being had anything to do with their having a living mind, you said that you ascribed someone's being to their consciousness.
I don't think you understand how brains work. Also, I referred to consciousness as having a mind, not the one that falls under "unconscious" referring to a sleeping person who's still thinking.
[–]Forss 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Except in the past.
[–]Komprimus 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
But the past doesn't exist anymore.
Yup... the usual word is "existed". I guess even r/atheism has its illogical assertions.
Imagine a good person is in a pub. He leaves the pub. The pub has become a little worse than it was with him in it. That says nothing about the place he is at after he left. The pub might have been located in a very bad part of town.
[–]WeaponsGradeHumanity 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
It reminds me of MASH. So much blood and gore and then something incredibly insightful and poetic.
[–]yaktoast -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
This is right there with the lack of logic expressed when we see ppl so sad when a religious person dies. If they believed that they've actually gone to heaven like they preach about then they should be stoked that person died. Dead, poof, heaven. And when the grieving ppl die they think they'll see them in heaven. So religious ppl should see death as a temporary inconvenience with all those piles of faith they've got...
[–]Forss -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
To people not getting it, they are in the past, which is better than the present because they were still alive.
