I’ve been in a bit of pain the last few weeks, my knee giving me grief and my tooth deciding to go nuclear so I made a joke saying " I wish the grim reaper would stop flirting and just kill me already". Didn’t get the laugh I was going for, just the look of concern.
If it helps…
aita for not finding it funny regardless, bc you could just jump off a building instead? not advocating suicide btw
Wanting to die and committing suicide are totally separate things. Suicidal ideation requires a focus on a method… It’s very specific, often like a specific bridge, or a specific method, like pills or a gun. Take that option away, and overwhelmingly people don’t find another
Saying “I want to fall off the Earth” is nowhere close to saying “I want to jump off a building”. The first one is an expression of a feeling of exhaustion with life, the second one is a potential cry for help
Yeah but the landing…or rather, lackthereof…
If I was president, I’d build a railing around the rim and make the lizard people pay for it!
That’s not that funny on the internet either. Nor all that concerning honestly.
That’s not very funny are you ok?
It’s funny to those of us who aren’t ok
That not funny, that’s genuinely upsetting to hear.
Nah it’s pretty funny
You’re not tired of this “I want to die” joke that’s been circulating since ca 2012 Reddit? It’s getting a little old.
It’s probably less of a joke than you think. People see death in different ways
And FWIW, wanting to die and suicide are almost completely separate things. You frequently have one without the other - I find jokes about wanting to die in the abstract relatable, ones that are more concrete about a feasible method would be pretty concerning
I am certainly tired of wanting to die, yes.
You’re right. Even pretending the earth is flat isn’t a laughing matter.
