It's called "corpse". Often riddled with diseases.

I remember a documentary about a famous northwest passage expedition that was never seen again. One of the inuit people they talked to during an investigation claimed they found a boat, and in the captain's quarters they found a body in the bed with a big smile on its face. That would be absolutely terrifying, but apparently that's what naturally happens to corpses when their lips and gums receed.

"Oh for just one time, I would take the Northwest Passage..."

Damn, got to listen to it now…

You've just ruined my night. I screamed. My phone was like an inch from my face and I was all tucked into bed. That triggered something primaly unsettling for me. Thank you

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You're welcome.

Franklin's last expedition

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

At least he died happy

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

maybe hairless chimps too. Those things are crazy

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 26 points 10 months ago

They will rip your dick out, Jamie send that video of jacked hairless chimps

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Your dick, your face... they'll pretty much, as we say in my corner of the world, "Fuck your shit up"

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Now, imagine the violence early human bought upon early chimps to become the dominant species but also make them shy away from us.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

There's a difference between a few humans throwing some rocks at something's head and poking it with a sharp stick and what chimps do.

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

I think you missed the proverbial point. We likely slaughtered the chimps and put their heads on pikes. Chimps have nothing on the violence humans are capable of inflicting.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

In scale? Yes. In brutality? Go look up chimp attacks.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Chimps kicked our weak asses off the trees. They should regret how that turned out for them.

[-] Amanuet@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

You're right though, as soon as someone dies, there's something not right at all about how they look. They don't look asleep, they look uncanny valley.

[-] DevCat@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

It also covers those who are not biologically fit to be mates. Various conditions can appear as physical traits.

Or perhaps whatever animal killed your friend is still nearby. Maybe it's still hungry, or maybe it feels it's territory is still underappreciated.

[-] Baizey@feddit.dk 1 points 10 months ago

Its territory is underappreciated?

[-] Dippy@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, some asshole walks through your territory, doesn't seem like it's being appreciated that the territory is yours
