Old National Geographics where your seratonin should be is ultra traditional. The magazine won Most Ethnographically Redeeming Centerfolds 20 years in a row.

I've never even started to believe in reincarnation before this moment

John Perich

It's the elation you feel when you're (voluntarily) leaving an awful job, and it's the last week, and you realize that none of these problems are going to be your problems anymore, only it's for *all* problems.

Josh Egbert

Found Onstad's burner

Rex Mantooth

The feeling of unexplained elation and positivity being coupled with the obvious looming sensation of the worst case scenario is a concept that I am both familiar with as well as sympathetic towards. That being said: when the Mind is generally hard on you, then perhaps its own conscience kicks in a realizes it needs to give you a break every once and a while.

Just mowin us all down

Sean FC

Technically you can shit your pants whenever you want.

There is, no lie, an early B-side by a band called The Hold Steady, called "Hot Fries", that contains this line repeated at the end.

Aaron J. Rushton

Yeah I don’t think management is part of it. Unless you “manage” an ant farm.

Jeff Holt

I think it’s just that your brain is happy to finally be done with you.

Cody Richmond

Practically speaking, no amount of unbounded ability can manage that many interacting decisions. One infinity’s just bigger than the other.

Shawn Warren

ok so I just did 2-7 weed vapes and here are my top 99 theories on Brain Death Chemicals:

Aaron J. Rushton

OK so seriously answering the question posed - I’m to a point where I think there’s a god out there that all world religions have vastly overestimated. Powerful enough to create the universe and life and love and free will, but also not really sure what they’re doing.

J Hardy Carroll

that keys thing is a corn tortillas feeling

Ben Wilinofsky

Can't argue with the maestro

Chris Onstad

Giant apocalyptic machinery tho

Sedric And Charlie

I reckon it doesn't really happen. Dying people are just bitter at non-dying people so they make up stories about what a good time they're really having

My guess is that letting go just feels good ‘cause being unburdened is our natural state. We’re meant to let go of stuff constantly, moment to moment. Like animals, like stars, like a river does. But in the mistaken belief that it serves us to do so, we still remind ourselves of what that one dude said, and 5000 other things besides. So unless you’re some kind of professional Buddha, I’m guessing death is like the best shit it’s possible to take.

Duncan

Is it the neuro-chemical equivalent of when the lady at the diner sees you're having a bad day and gives you a free slice of pie?

Matt Thurston

you explained this perfectly, and summed up basically everything I jumped into the comments to say

Ben Wilinofsky

Also this might be the most perfectly Roast Beef comic in Achewood's history? Like, really resonant work.

Ben Wilinofsky

Maybe the memory meat with a poo system is expiring but the little bit of magic makes it all work needs a little bit of lubricant on the slide to whatever great cosmic cha-cha we dance next

W. C.

I love waltzing in her orgasm when she's past the point of no return. It's like ordering a pizza and tipping well so they give ya the extra botched order.

Ismini Roller

Nature - Brutal AF

Ismini Roller

I've been receiving them monthly since 1982, plus inheriting duplicates... so many yellow spines

Matthew Harris

That rather depends on where you're standing

GruntyGinMan

Yeah but Trouble Man and No-No put a damper on thibgs

David Kettler

I think it's just like how people shit themselves dying. Your body has lost control of itself, and chemicals and pieces are just flying around wherever they please. It just so happens that when you release all your brain chemicals at once it's a good feeling (and trippy to boot)

AA

Nothing classes up a room like that line of yellow spines

Larry Lawrence

People are constantly putting themselves in one state of autoerotic asphyxiation or another, go ahead and get as metaphorical as you want on the concepts of oxygen and sex and death

Zen Window

on the topic of flour tortillas you ever spank someones bare ass with one youd be surprised the energy one can impart onto a southern cheek with the unassuming tortilla or maybe you wouldnt be surprised i dont judge

tossrock

Kin selection. If you die screaming and shrieking, maybe it traumatizes your family members into not fuckin' so much for a while. Whereas if you're all serene, imparting a small wisdom as you expire, maybe they're a little more well rounded, more worldly, dare I say, more... fuckable?

Kol

back in the old single cell days it was a veritable orgy of reproduction and self destruction, no division, no breathing room, it was fight club 1999 starring eros and thanatos, and that single shot of pure Unbothered is still stashed away in the back, a little postcard from our primordial grandparent.

durf

incredibly good strip

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

all soft and warm as the dickens

Walter Cooke

DAMN those old National Geographics!

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

DMT should not be making you flippant about probably dying. It should be introducing you to Jimmy Fractals and the Infinite Klown Biz. (For real tho, does anyone of neuroscience know whether a heavy duty hospice cocktail of fentanyl, lorazepam, atropine, and haloperidol interferes with your exit trip? Cos it would cold suck if it did.)

Walter Cooke

I would have located the tortilla vendor stands closer to the hot tubs in this world.

b.zap

its my party and ill die if i want to

Jay Y

Roast Beef got slipped some DMT. He remains, however: Roast Beef

Matthew Harris

I mean, he's died two or three times before, so he should recognise it

emitydna

I think the self preservation instinct to worry and protect dies first, leaving the joyful chemicals they once guarded to flee the yard.

Ben Sunshine-Hill

Goddamn though, it's true about the flour tortillas, this world has its delights

Bungus Bronbo

My guess is that when you're dying the body's like "well, there's no point in saving for retirement anymore, let's blow all your chemical savings at once and party, daddy-o" As for how this evolved, I can imagine that these chemicals hitting all at once would convince the death-ee to try to survive a little longer, now that being alive seems like a pretty cool idea what with all the chemicals swirling.
