This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Each day I thank god for not making me a foot person.

A funeral is a sacred thing.

WHY WOULD YOU STREAM IT AND MAKE IT ABOUT YOU?!

I would understand if it's a self-reflection and comfort after the event, but not during.

Like the other commentator said, if you’re on the other side of the world, old, infirm etc it gets you to the funeral. A lot of people, religious and otherwise, take a degree of comfort seeing the final journey be made by their friend, loved one or family, that all humans eventually take.

I understand that, but the post above highlights that there needs to be discretion to such an invite.

Placing it in a public space increases the risks of bad actors coming into stream and ruining the event for everyone. People have done such things for less.

I would've forwarded the obituary through a private family group or messenger as opposes to a socmed.

I’ve watched a couple - never occurred to me that our mike could’ve been hot.

It's being live-streaming so it's family in Latin America can participate on it

Reminds me of when my Nana died. People who I have never seen before in my entire life all came out of the woodwork to gawk and take pictures of her corpse. I was beyond pissed off and my biggest regret is not slapping those camera out of their hands because I didn't want to cause a scene at a funeral. I wanted to say to them, "who the fuck are you and how dare you disrespect my grandmother like that!? I was there for her my entire life, where the fuck where you?"

My mom told me it was a catholic thing to take pictures of the dead, but I don't give a shit about their shitty religion, especially if it encourages people to do selfish shit like this. If I could have done it all over again I would have definitely spoken up, but alas this was 14 years ago and I'll never see those people again...whoever the fuck they were...

I don't understand... Were you afraid the cameras would capture her soul?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

No, the problem is that their selfish asses made it about themselves. A funeral is not a place to gawk at and take pictures of a body while people are mourning, especially when you were never there for the person. If you can't understand how that's rude and disrespectful then I don't know what to tell you.

I don't get the logistics. Even assuming it's a 1080 stream, which is probably unlikely, the feet of a single person are just a few pixel. That's like watching porn on a C64, your imagination is doing almost all the work.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I think you just figured out how kinks work.

[–] HawtP0tat0@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 day ago

Its a greentext. Their imagination was always doing most of the work.

[–] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 4 points 22 hours ago

The camera could be pretty static in between pews, with a focus on the coffin. When people walk up to say their goodbyes, their feet may be in more or less focus

Really depends on the camera person. IDK what the conventions are for funeral live streams, though.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago

Mostly feet pics, interspersed with closeups of tears.
