Yes but imagine playing pop on it as a session guitarist, that would go even harder for sure

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 9 hours ago

To go the hardest, play "Sweet Home Alabama"!

Would be even more badass if that leather jacket were made from his uncle’s skin!

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder: was it a sign of respect towards the uncle or was it an insult? Or neither, just cool?

[–] XM34@feddit.org 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

For that to be legal I would imagine the uncle would have to have written it in his will

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 5 points 8 hours ago

So the respect option is the most likely

I wouldn't mind being a guitar when I die

He wasted such an epic guitar build with basic strat style neck.

I've looked into this as I had a phase where I wanted to bequeath my various bones to my friends, family, and enemies after my death.

The best way to clean a skeleton is with dermestid beetles. They are most commonly used at natural history museums for preparing animal bones, but I couldn't find any that would work with humans. Your best bet is to find a private entity with experience in preparing bodies for scientific study. Alternatively, you could source the beetles yourself - this would likely take longer as you need quite a few, so storage will be a concern, but you wouldn't need to worry about transport which has more legal considerations. Once the beetles have done their work, the bones themselves keep quite well if stored properly - no different than animal bones.

Unfortunately the whole processes seemed cost prohibitive so I'll probably just ask to be dumped in a forest somewhere

I helped maintain a dermestid beetle colony that was used by a natural history museum to prep specimens for display.

They are surprisingly easy to care for. It was just a large wooden box full of ripped up paper egg cartons. Drop a nice head in there and mist the cardboard with some water. Soon you have a nice clean skull. When not using it, just mist the cardboard once a week. The beetles just hang out between feedings.

For science purposes only, folks

How long does this take? Does it have to be dead? Asking for a friend.

if I had relatives interested in making art from my corpse I'd let them in a heartbeat. the death industry is highly wasteful and overwealthy from exploitation

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The death industry is rich from all the human leather hats they sell.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Reference from a game called Rimworld where you can butcher corpses for human leather. Quite profitable tbh, if only people stop complaining about it.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

ohhhh then somebody here will get it. I might try it, Frostpunk actually left me pretty thirsty for more city management games and honestly having a human skin hat only sweetens the deal

In Tynan we Trust!

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 16 hours ago

It was just laying around his uncle’s place after he died and nobody else wanted it for some reason.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 8 points 16 hours ago

Don’t ask incriminating questions…

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago

Lol dude just came home from work, it's his uncle
