Lemmy, what the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless, are we just amusing ourselves until death?

Lemmy, what the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death? - Divisions by zero

I would argue we have a whole list of purposes:

  • procreate
  • copulate
  • mate
  • engage in sexual reproduction
  • propagate the species
  • reproduce
  • conceive life
  • bring forth offspring
  • weave new generations
  • kindle the spark of life
  • sow the seeds of tomorrow
  • whip up some womb-biscuits
  • bake a bun in the baby oven
  • start a stork-summoning ritual
  • do the chromosome cha-cha
  • know each other in the biblical sense
  • lie together
  • hook up
  • get it on
  • do the deed
  • bump uglies
  • initiate a genetic merge request
  • fork the DNA repo
  • compile the next generation
  • instantiate another human

I think you got the gist.

And in the meantime also entertain ourselves, of course.

As an ace, I’d have to disagree.
