    Don’t worry, it’s just there until your bofy decomposes and is eaten by the worms. Then over enough time, the wood will rot away leaving your skeleton which in turn will slowly fossilise and then when the sun expands in 5 million billion years time, the earth will be scorched and then obliterated and your remnants will return to the stars until the universe keeps expansion until no atom of matter can interact with another and the universe fades out.

    Just enjoy the absurdity of it all or get believing in a sky daddy. Either way you won’t have to worry about the forever box.

    Edit: whoops, was off by 1 3 orders of magnitude.

      yay for infinite nothingness! (Except that infinite stretches of time in a probability-oriented universe tend to lead to funny effects down the road and even the most remote chances of literally anything possible happening practically become 100% instantaneously when dealing with such time-spans, so more likely than not, the moment you die you wake up in some entirely new, equally improbable and inscrutable type of reality with no memory of what happened before, and there’s no guarantee that such an experience will be better or worse than your present one. I mean, it happened at least once before that we know of, so it stands to reason this is normal.)

      Three orders of magnitude. 1->10 is one order. 1->100 is two. And so on.
