Comment on No one can know my shame
Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 weeks agoWait really? I wanted to be tied to a young tree and have my skeleton be merged with it:
The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position … strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

I was kind of hoping my descendents would be able to find the tree and see my skull staring out at them from halfway inside a tree. Are you saying this won’t work?

If the conditions are right it can work. But there is a reason we aren’t tripping over the bones of billions of people and animals.
