I’m glad that lemmy is threading the very thin needle of saying the supreme leader was bad but the US attacks aren’t justified cause of him.

Bravo

    They should bring back towers of silences, the traditional funeral method, used before Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Silence

    There's a major problem with these in parts of India, where certain painkillers that are often administered to dying people for palliative care are toxic to the carrion birds that are supposed to consume them. So populations of the birds have been dwindling and many of these towers are full of decomposing corpses that are left to rot a lot more slowly.

    Other than the fuel needed for the incinerator, I don't see what's wrong with plain old cremation.

    Yep, just read an article on this. And I didn't read about any palliative care medicine, more because of animal meds - basically cattle treated with meds are, after they are no longer useful, sometimes abandoned instead of being killed humanely, meaning they die soonafter in public and urban locations, the carrion birds eat these corpses and the toxins accumulate in their bodies.

    Is this loss?

    Actually this would be a shallow grave. Graves are dug to be at least 6ft to the top of the coffin.
