But you wouldn't be sand, you would be ash. And that would make for a shitty hourglass.

So you can continue to be shitty in family game night! Don't you also want to continue to cause disagreements and conflicts between family members?

[–] Promethiel@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Don't let my family know, I still want to keep ruining speed Monopoly...

But I wouldn't object if my ashes are like, 85% sand by volume. I'd be too dead.

"Filtered Promethiel"

Maybe you could mix the ashes with clay, have it fired and then grind or crush the ceramic into sand.

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

It would definitely need some processing. Bit of Fumed Silica might also help to make it free-flowing.

Had the same business idea when I saw this post.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are one drunk night idea away from making a key chain

[–] importedreality@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

They make a charm-bracelet sized one that could easily fit on a keychain

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A fucking neckless? Damn! You could gift it grandma before the time is up.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

We’re all neckless after being cremated.

But if we end up on a necklace, does that make it ironic?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

"Lifetime warranty"

Hopefully for the living relatives

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 23 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What if I get cremated before I die?

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Then you get to participate in game night and be a disturbing anecdote.

[–] rjc@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I mean.. not MUCH before

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

put my ashes in a snow globe.

Please, i think it would be funny.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

you say that like it would even be noticeable. You would probably just think it's a weird nuclear fallout snowglobe type thing, until you flipped it over and looked at the bottom. Or dropped it.

[–] radiant_bloom@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago (3 children)

That would be one MASSIVE hourglass that would last multiple hours 💀

[–] Twelve20two 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The great Familial Hourglass that contains generations and generations of ashes

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Different-length hourglasses for different people. Grandfather over there is a 3-hours, but if you don't eat your cornflakes, Timmy, you're only going to be a 3-minutes!

[–] Twelve20two 2 points 5 months ago

That's dreadful; I love it

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

And if you stuck a dagger in it it would cause everyone to turn into sand zombies.

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

not that big with water cremation I think. still quite big. it doesnt have any box ash with you. or you could make plenty of lityle ones for the whole extended family

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 8 points 6 months ago

Can't tell if gruesome or wholesome :S

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 6 points 6 months ago

Reminds me of a comic where Chaos Spacemarines from different factions are holding a meeting and the Tzeentch marine never shows up so the Khorne marine screams "HES PLAYING US LIKE A GODDAMN FIDDLE" but the real meta joke is that the Tzeentch marine is there, he's the sand in the hourglass.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yoo new business idea for my parents. they can sell "luxury" hourglasses with my ashes.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Or a stepping stone! I wanna be a stepping stone! You can mix ashes into concrete and it makes it stronger depending on the amount.

Dad's last pranks: the eggs are too hard

[–] PiratePanPan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

Well, now I'm sad. Thanks.
