I get the notion. It's just one of these days when my capacity for partaking in that sort of thing is running low. Weird to say, but I gotta be in the mood for that doomy kind of humor.
Never actually been to Mexico. But the jovial/festive approach to handling death is very fascinating to me. I know a few people who are either from Mexico or have spent a good amount of their life there, but we haven't discussed the whole Día de los Muertos theme much, though I have heard quite a few other interesting anecdotes. This theme just hardly ever came up in conversation. And I'm not the type of person to pester people about very specific parts of culture I've been made aware of (and most likely in very stereotypical ways, because that's how most media rolls).
Anyway, I have my days when I indulge in cynical doomer humor - sorry to plug here, but since the board is pretty dead and this thread doesn't have much of a purpose anyway - I think you might enjoy
this story I wrote in November. It's probably the best written content I ever put out. And it pretty much starts with humanity being extinct - that's a premise with endless possibilities, I tell ya. Anyway, I think it could be up your alley.
