Irrational Existential Dread Thread

Realizing in the midst of doing something you enjoy that literally every human activity that isn't a biological imperative is essentially a mortality distraction, and then realizing that your realization has basically undermined the essential point of your endeavor.

i have really bad morbid ideas for movies all the time and the last one was something i thought of after reading a nyt story and it is about two people who die on top of mount everest and the people who go to retrieve their bodies also die and more people go up to retrieve those bodies and then they die and then more people go up....it goes on like that for 6 hours until mount everest is actually officially taller and they have to change the height in all the record books. and it ends there.

I've seen some configuration of the same 20-30 people on my commute to and from work for several years. None of us acknowledge any of the others, none of us know anything about one another (presumably), one of us could disappear one day and maybe at some point several months later someone else will briefly think, hey, wonder what happened to that guy, kinda like how you suddenly notice that a restaurant you use to pass by all the time has been a Foot Locker for the past year.
