   Some people go around late at night stealing the crosses and wreaths and flowers around here. I guess they sell them to other people who lost loved ones at other spots in town.

   That's not a bad gimmick. Just selling the same wreath over and over.

   They also go to the cemetery in summer and steal wreaths and flowers there.

   I think when you die you should lose all your shit at the spot of your death and then be ressurected and forced to make it back to the same point to retrieve it like Dark Souls

   I've seen these in America, Mexico, and Taiwan. I think they're common around the world.

   I sometimes have impulses to strip naked. more and more lately. I have ugly scars on my back from being shot by rock salt when I was 15. twice. 12 gauge
   
   i can't explain this pain of shame and embarrassment. plus I fell on some barb or razor wire a guy had in his backyard when we were building a treehouse when I was like 13. huge gashes that got infected. there was some large boils that kept coming back with pust.
   
   
   I want to run naked in front of something large rolling down a hill and shred my body. My nude fucking body.
   
   but I will battle that lion first.
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Crosses, flowers, there is even a bicycle painted white and chained to a power pole near where I live. Apparently the dude loved his bike and was killed on it…so they got a bike (presumably another one), painted it white so it looks like something an angel would ride, got permission off the local gov and then put it there, I'm surprised no one has stolen it yet.

   
   Just decided to look up them white bikes, apparently it's a pretty big thing.
   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_bike
   
   However, I don't think we'll be seeing those ghost bikes where I live, generally it's pretty safe to ride your bike in Denmark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyrTx9SXkVI), and although motorists do bitch and moan quite a bit about bicyclists not paying attention, we only have about 800 accidents per year, involving bikes. If you watched the video, 800 doesn't seem like a whole lot. As far as I know, the authorities aim to bring the number of fatalities due to accidents down to 120 in 2020, and that includes motorists and pedestrians as well. To put it into perspective, we're about 5.6 million all in all.
   
   Oh, something everyone visiting Denmark should know, the bike lanes are regular death traps for pedestrians that aren't used to that many bikes, so do remember to look both ways before crossing, and don't forget that the bike lanes aren't sidewalks.

    I remember back in the mid 00s some teens had a fatal car accident and the family put a cross on the side of the highway, that was the first time I saw that and now I see them everywhere.
