Ever wondered how I sound like lying down, trying to record on my phone? Maybe you've already heard it before.. But if you haven't, then this is it right here! Audio quality takes a hit, but you get authentic comfortable rambles.I do talk about life after death and consciousness, so if you are sensitive to that topic I'd suggest skipping this ramble 🤍Thank you for the lovely discussions on my last ramble! They were such a joy to read. Goodnight from Copenhagen 🍋

I see the existentialism tag and I fuckin scramble for my headphones

Ah! I was going to ask about barbershop as a ramble topic, and there it is. And Billy Joel? You’re after my heart, Crunchy. Recording on your phone reminds me of Crunch Times from last summer, at the summer house, or — my favourite — at the bar watching football. Quality was fine, definitely listenable. I would like to offer comment section cuddle puddle to any and all who want to join. As intense or casual as y’all need. ❤️❤️

Currently lying in bed dealing with some pain, imagining cuddling with Crompch, with his lovely ramble distracting me from the physical ache. I don’t often think about “what comes after” but I like the idea you presented. Wow that’s some beautiful heart wrenching lyrics. Free cuddles right here just for you whenever u want 😊

Couch rambles are good. Casual. I like it. I am sorry to inform you that your pronunciation of the word "American" did NOT sound American. 😛 Accents are funny things. By the time I graduated from college I had virtually no accent to speak of. I had worked to train my Southern accent out of my speech because of stereotypes, etc. But once I started working full time, I found myself in an environment with lots of older people who had very thick accents. It started creeping back into my speech. After many years I still don't consider myself to have too much of an accent and I don't hear it while I'm speaking, but if I listen back to recordings of myself I can hear it, especially on "i" sounds. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around your afterlife theory as a whole. I'm going to have to puzzle that out a bit more, but many of the elements you mentioned match up with traditional Christian teachings, specifically about eternity and the nature of time passing in the afterlife. So I'm confused. Does this mean that you don't believe in the concept of a soul? And if so, how do you explain the thing that makes us US? If not a soul, then what is the core of our being made of in your opinion? I hope you revisit this again and continue the conversation. Also, lol at the inescapability of "for-EV-er." I'm currently wrestling with the compulsion to say, "HAP-py." Heaven help us all. 😂 Hearing you talk about cute boys makes me grin so big. I love it. Sending you all the good vibes for cute boy encounters. Here, have a squeeze on the shoulder. Give Albert a little goodnight kiss, please. Goodnight, Crunch. Thanks for the ramble. 💜

I can imagine this as a "1am and can't sleep so just cuddling and relaxing on the couch'' type of ramble. And I mean, you're looking for a cat... I'm a cat that's ready to cuddle, with hands and shoulders. Boom. Problem solved /j This is an interesting topic, and I find your point of view on the afterlife interesting, especially coming from a non-dualistic view. Growing up, I was raised to believe in the existence of God and Heaven, yet my beliefs based on multiple readings and research led me to think there wasn't such an afterlife. I always thought that whatever happens on the other side once we pass is simply a transition, with death being an end to our contents of consciousness. There was a point in my youth when I was heavily into researching paranormal anomalies that involved the typical spirits and such. In this sector, it led me to think that we are just pure energy after death, often misinterpreted as ghosts when seen. However it is really only the energetic memory of what something ‘once was.’ There are flaws in this, I'm sure, but it was interesting to research back in the day.   It's good that you're getting back into the quartet! That song, my goodness my heart is melting and aching just imagining you all sing it, it must be wonderful. If you excuse me, I shall be playing that song on repeat for the remainder of the day... Thank you so much for this lovely couch ramble... couchble? Having these little peeks into your mind are always lovely. Stay safe, and happy (probably late for some) pi day!!

Thank you, Crunchy. I really like the way this sounded. I didn't think it sounded bad at all. I rather enjoyed couch Crunch. So yeah first of all Sir, no. That is not how you say "American". I swear every time you say it like that my lip snarls and eyes roll. 🙄😂 Stan Lee was his name. 🥲 I really enjoyed listening to your ideas and thoughts about the afterlife. A perfect afterlife sounds sweet. Mine would definitely be a bookstore/coffe shop combo. I don't think your inflections are stupid. They are absolutely endearing. I get the feeling you've never lived with cats. You'll spend most of your time begging for affection only to be rejected 😆 Again thank you for spending time with us. Now if you will excuse me, I've been invited to a cuddle puddle.

Relistening, and another thing popped into my head. There are moments when you sound danish, I do hear some London here and there. You *definitely* sounded different many years ago compared to now, some centralized American sprinkled here and there. But the part that sticks out to me, while it doesn't happen often, is when you say the words 'presume' or 'assume' or any variation of those words. This is when your Spanish kicks in, and I find it adorable when I hear it 💙 okay, that is all~

accents i definitely still hear some british influence in your accent, but i feel that american has been getting a stronger influence as of late hehe. the way you tried to say “american” in an american accent pls 🤣 i would love to hear your attempt at a southern american accent, i already had the pleasure of hearing your abercrombie model/california surfer dude accent on stream, and it was hilarious and not entirely inaccurate existentialism/afterlife your theory is really interesting to consider. i mean, the premise itself i have to disagree with because i believe in the existence of souls, but it was really interesting to think about. in my life, i’ve had experiences that i can describe as nothing short of spiritual, i have felt a connection to what i would describe as a higher power. at this moment i’m not religious although i grew up in a religious household, i would consider myself to be spiritual and questioning barbershop it’s great to hear that you’re singing with them again and having the mental capacity to spend time doing these hobbies you enjoy. i think it’s a great indication that you’re getting better and i’m really happy for you 😊 cuddles i have issues with touch, i have for a long time and i’m trying to figure out why. i don’t wanna get too deep into it here, but i will say that having cuddles in audio form is a really nice feeling for my brain, so i definitely enjoy the idea of them. hopefully i will be able to experience them without feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable sometime in the future, but for now, audio cuddles/virtual cuddles are good for me 🤍

Recording from the couch is great I think it gives a more casual, we’re just conversing vibe. And the audio quality didn’t take any kind of hit at least for me. When I first found you on Reddit in the back of my head I went “British? But off somehow??” And I didn’t figure it out until I got to an audio with the [Danish] tag haha. You do sound more American but how you say certain words still ping my British radar though a lot less lately I think. At this point in my head it’s just a “Crunchy accent” as silly as that sounds. With all your lovable inflections and all. I was raised very strictly Christian and while not devout by any stretch I guess there’s parts of it I can’t shake so the concept of an after is something I’ve thought about a lot. Some parts sound good the idea that you’ll always be happy, with your loved ones, no pain, no concept of time. But in the same breath there’s “no pain” because you don’t remember your loved ones so you don’t miss them? Which I violently reject. The people I’ve loved make life worthwhile and they would make the afterlife worthwhile too. I honestly rather believe there’s nothing after. That we only get one shot at existence good, bad, ugly and we have to leave it all on the table. There’s a peace in knowing you did all you could with the time you were given and that it’s just over. The universe will continue on without us, we started as energy and return to energy. Please serenade us more often and/or forever Crunchy haha. Got me vibing to Billy Joel now 🎶🎧 I’m very uh…weird about people touching me but those I feel safe with like my partner I’m basically a cuddly octopus and won’t detach unless forced, especially while sleeping 😂. Feel like I’ve word vomited enough tonight so I hope everyone and Crunchy have a good night/day wherever you are 💗

that’s such an interesting topic!! i can rumble a lot about life and afterlife, so i need to collect my thoughts and put them in the right order to leave a coherent comment

mari

so i am back here with kinda coherent thoughts! i was raised by a christian mother and father who is more on scientific side of the question. that’s really interesting how they both had an impact on me and what i believe in now. i was really scared of death in my early teens and that’s when i began searching for answers about afterlife. i studied different religions (my mom’s dad is Jewish and her mom is Christian, and my step-dad is Islamic, so i was really interested in religion),several scientific theories and came up with believing that we all are energies pent in physical core. what i also remember is my science teacher back in school once told us how praying and meditating worked based on physics. i was really into this topic since than. i don’t believe in afterlife (like that afterlife ancient Egyptians believed in) i think that our energies (=souls) are finding new physical core, so i can say i believe in reincarnation/?/honestly, i am not quite sure if it is what i truly believe (i am still searching i guess) , but it makes me feel comfortable just to exist and live knowing that my energy (equals me) won’t ever disappear. i really got interested in your theory, crunchy, but i think that i need more time to process it in my mind. and as Mrs. Dubose already said here, so if there is no something spiritual in your theory, than what defines us as Us if not our souls. comparing it to my sight on things, energy (as that Energy that is described in physics) isn’t something spiritual, but it still define us as human beings, as it is an unique set of particles. i am not sure if i am making sense now or i am just rambling. but that’s my point of view! also, that bit about ‘cute boy’ got me smiling. that’s so relatable! like the gentle loving feeling for your friend, almost something romantic/?/ is what i usually feel towards my mates. and now i really want to touch those curly soft hair😅 anyways, i rumbled enough! thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and bringing up such a great topic! take care, crunchy and everyone here🤍🐾

Mrs. Dubose

I'm back. CW: observing death, not detailed. I've been reading everyone else's thoughts and beliefs on the afterlife, and while my core beliefs are very different than most here (I subscribe to the traditional Christian view of an afterlife), I do leave room for different possibilities. What I CAN say with absolute certainty is that our energy continues to exist after we die in some shape or form. I have seen the visible difference in a person's body after their soul leaves but the shell continues to mechanically breathe. Numerous times I have felt the unmistakable presence of someone very close to me after they have passed. It is too noticeable and intentional to be a coincidence. There's so much more I could say about this, but it's a very raw thing for me. So I just wanted to chime in and say that based on my own personal experience, I believe with all of my heart that we still live on in some way.

Sooo I listened to this last night, but it was very late and the afterlife discussion kinda broke my brain a little bit, so I relistened in the light of day. The accent change – it makes sense to change the way you speak based on the media consumed and the people you interact with. I keep realizing I say certain words and phrases because I’ve heard them a lot from friends and I was subconsciously mirroring them. Yay for the a keyboard ramble with added sound effects! Afterlife thoughts - I grew up conservative Baptist so I never questioned my beliefs of heaven and hell, until I left home to go to university. Then I had several years where I had a whole journey going from acknowledging that evolution was a fact, to calling myself an agnostic, until I finally became comfortable to take on the atheist label. So, I do not believe in an afterlife or that there is anything more for us than the here and now. I’m an all or nothing person, so once I couldn’t make myself believe in God anymore and the Christian idea of an afterlife which dominated most of my life, I couldn’t replace that with another belief. Maybe that makes me boring or unimaginative but it is what it is. Also “the guy that does the Marvel stuff” is Stan Lee, you philistine 😆 Glad to hear you are getting back into the barbershop quartet ❤ also your singing voice is lovely. I remember the Hades game song cover and the Mamamoo song cover you posted, please do more of these 🙏 AHHH the meows how I missed those! The cuddles! I want cuddles daily, but I live alone and it’s awkward to ask friends for cuddles when we visit each other lol Aww it’s so cute how you talk about your curly haired friend 🥰 This was a very lovely ramble and the audio quality just made it more intimate? Like two friends having a late night discussion about various things on the couch. Very much a fan of this ❤

Mrs. Dubose

ALSO. What is your perfect afterlife? That's a question for both Crunch and all of you lovely commenters. Edit for clarity: Even if you don't believe in it, what would your imaginary perfect afterlife be?

Vergil

Darn, just got a chance to listen to this and was about to comment, but suddenly realised everyone here has a far more profound and intelligent way of thinking about things like these... ☺️ So yeah, hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe and that your mental is doing great too 💙💙

cosmicdreams

just wanted to say that i really appreciate the respectful discussions here. even though we have different beliefs, i really appreciate hearing everyone’s perspective 🤍 this topic can be quite heavy and my mind is reeling a bit from it tbh, but it was nice to be able to share my thoughts on these things, it’s something i haven’t been able to do in a long time. take care everyone ✨

I would consider myself more spiritual than religious. Which some consider a cop out. I identify as agnostic if only for no other word. But ideally, I like some of the polytheistic religion beliefs. Idk I like the idea that most living things have souls and energy that can even grow and change. This "linear" theory is almost like the opposite of the multiverse theory. Or at least it's sequencial instead of parallel. But it's not one I've really heard before. Definitely interesting though. The heat death of the universe would lead to the next big bang? What would that look like. A black hole grows and swallows the universe until the mass within explodes out again into a new big bang? Gravity is basically just mass times a constant right? It doesn't rely on any kind of thermodynamic energy, I don't think. So from what little I know about physics it seems plausible. This is a rabbit hole I'll happily stumble into. I got a lot of research to do.

Also, a somber Billy Joel song with no piano accompaniment? Blasphemy. I would need to hear it and judge lol. I guess I know what I'll be listening to on YouTube for the rest of the afternoon.
