Well, one more reason to die in a blaze of glory.

To pay them less? That's so fucked up.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 6 hours ago

Because the corpses don't tell them how pretty they'd look if they smiled?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There was some (mildly) famous case, I think a book was written about it, of a woman who was a necrophiliac and worked at a morgue. There was a big reddit thread about it years ago.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 13 minutes ago

Bit chauvinistic to assume women can't be necrophiles if they put their minds to it, innit?

Unlike the FBI I don't make crass assumptions about my perverts.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 126 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Dudes just wanna crack open a cold one.

[–] GrantUsEyes@piefed.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

The fucking quality of your oneliners, a thing of beauty.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago

Ugh. Take my upvote.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 141 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

so i guess it was a massive red flag when i asked them how many cameras were in the room during my interview

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 59 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No, but telling them about your Twitch channel was a bad idea.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

"Yes sir, I do onlyfans as a side gig."

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 67 points 13 hours ago (6 children)

I mean, honest question that I really do not want to google. Is this actually a wide spread problem?

[–] Vitaly_Chernobyl@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 hours ago

Herodotus mentions it in The Histories written around 430 BCE.

Ok that ones on me, I should’ve caught that

[–] Janx@piefed.social 35 points 13 hours ago

Ok that ones on me

That's what the corpse said!

I had an ex who worked in this field, she went to mortuary school and worked in mortuaries, before that she worked in organ transplant. She went into the field because of a combination of personal tragedy (a close one passing away at an early age) and seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event.

Anyhow, she and I would talk about it often. One of the things she would note on, wasn’t that it was sexual based things men would do (besides general office sexism coming from men on occasion), but more about the level of respect they showed the deceased. Crude Comments they’d make about their weight, features etc…

So I think it just depends and it would be difficult to verify these other claims because the “victims” are deceased and most things related to it seem to be anecdotal.

I’m also not going to google necro in anyway

(Also yes, she was kinda emo/metal an had some pretty sick tattoos)

[–] lath@lemmy.world 31 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Shitty pay, crappy hours, being surrounded by the dead all the time... You either gotta love the job or end up loving the dead...

Some jobs need to be done, but who's to do them? Can one be completely sane and handle this kind of life without issue for years on end? Most of the people employed tell themselves it's just a job and spend their time dodging the reality of handling the dead all the time, but a few.. well.. they go all in.

Normal is a state of mind that has us come to grips with that which is beyond our control.

My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There is a lesson here. Have these conversations today with your loved ones about final arrangements. I promise you that many of them would rather be buried in a casket from Costco and have the money spent on literally anything else.

This is especially true if they're going to be cremated.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 6 points 7 hours ago

All of my loved ones want to have their organs donated to science, then have the leftovers cremated.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 22 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Let it be known, if it is too costly to shape my ashes into a spear and shoot it into the heart of the sun, or to build a statue of me Conan-posing on a throne of skulls surrounded by scantily-clad babes, just put me in a coffee can with some fireworks and light the fuse

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm guessing it's hard to come by reliable stats. It's on the same level as priests abusing children, the cover-up would be extensive. But, it's even harder, because the corpse can't testify in court, or make a YouTube video.

You know that Dr. Who meme? The one where the blonde woman asks "Is it a lot?"

Just think of it that way.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Clara is a brunette, I just want to clarify that in case people get confused about which meme. :) (It took me a sec)

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 6 points 8 hours ago

Because dead men cant interrupt?

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 35 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

What exactly are the reasons?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 63 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Less pay, longer hours, and the hiring manager plans to sexually harass his workforce.

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 31 points 13 hours ago

Now that's believable

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 75 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Apparently they think women don't wanna fuck corpses. But I am pretty sure the people that go into that industry are probably cut from the same cloth

[–] Soulg@ani.social 45 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If that's actually the reason then I must be doing pretty good mentally because it would've taken me a while to think of that, not a "we all know because it's obvious" tier thing

It's mechanically difficult for women to do it since corpses don't have blood flow. Much more creativity needed.

[–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 19 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Oh hey, that reminds me of Karen Greenlee

nsfw

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

That actually has fulfilled my morbid curiosity, thank you ... also, there seems to be a lot of squeemish people around

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago

you'd have to be there I guess

I would prefer not thanks Karen

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Cool, can I unread that now

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Sorry, now you'll inadvertently think of it every time you see a morgue. Have fun!

Reminds me of the old Tom Lehrer joke:

"...a story about a young necrophiliac who finally achieves his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner.

... The rest of you can look it up when you get home."

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly, no idea what's the reason

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 hours ago

at a population level, men fuck everything, including corpses

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 19 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

A father takes his five year old to the high school principal and says that he'd like to enroll him. The principal says that little John is goign to have to prove he can handle the work. Principal writes an algebra problem and shows it to the lad. John answers it without using a pencil. He asks some history and political questions. John nails them all.

Turns to the father. "This last question is to see if he has the emotional maturity we expect of our students.

"Johnny, what's a four letter word that ends in U-N-T and means a woman?"

"Aunt."

"Congratulations. Johnny can come to high school."

As they walk home, dad says to Johnny, "I'm so proud of you. I know I would have messed up that last question"

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Damn. It got me.
