And so I saw someone prepare some funeral offerings today. You know, where they burn paper money so that the dead could use money in the afterlife? Well, today i saw a Paper Car and a Paper Motorcycle. I also heard of Paper Computer and Mobile Phone/Iphone.
Which brings me the question. Do we need a Paper Car Engine, a Paper Graphics Card, Paper Internet Service, Paper SIM card, Paper petrol
Its like getting a car but you can’t drive it or getting a nice computer without graphics card and the only way to get more is if someone burns something and prays it to you.
Hello~ Shuri here. Food for you is another translated Chapter.
Yeah, of course… But if it’s a faith thingie, then I think I don’t want to touch that topic carelessly… XD

Which is why I did not question paper money.
Paper cars and everything else obviously came after ‘faith and culture’.

Well they should also burn somekind of device to generate energy like a hidrelec plant or solar painels, because you know how the hell are they supposed to use the pc without energy? Or maybe energy is free in the sky? Can they charge things using holy power?

I know right? If someone delivered to be the best Computer in the world but I can’t do anything due to the lack of electricity, graphic card, etc. I swear i would probably become a ghost with a grudge or something.

just burn enough money for them to buy it on the other side can you image how much time it would take to make all that out of paper though you’d be out 30k

except that the money you burned is not a legal tender. Only thing you can burn is water/food or clothing.

As entertaining as the idea is, im pretty sure the ‘afterlife’ have their own supply of water.

@Gamer, you mean grandma meng’s forget soup? Or the stereotypical river styx that has dead souls floating on it? OR are you talking about the life after all the “purification of the soul” process? You know what comes after reincarnation?
Yeah, they’ll obviously have water after reincarnation but I think the offerings during funeral are what the deceased bring to their purgatory/river styx/limbo/whatever you call it on your own religion. Besides, if someone reincarnated into a species that doesn’t drink water, you really won’t need it. Actually, burning material things for someone to bring on the other life is just wasteful. Could I have those food/water instead? Could I have those money instead so I could donate to translators and have faster releases?

You know, other life is the afterlife. It is BEFORE you reincarnate so they are still pretty much human. No I don’t know what comes before/after reincarnation, rivers, soups or anything.
I just think that if there is a paper car w/o a paper engine, the car can’t be used. At that time, it would not be ‘offering for the dead’ but ‘trolling the dead’.

Evaporation. It’s killing two bird with one stone if you cook using water rather than frying it then burn the dish afterward 😀 You could do it with pork to tenderize it.

*Gasp* That makes perfect sense! I am sorry but I am someone who survives on logic. Logical fantasy explanation is fine.
