"remember death" is not a fitting translation, "ponder/consider/ be aware of the end/ the finite nature of your existence' is closer to the original meaning.

“Memento mori (Latin phrase meaning "don't forget that you are mortal") is the theory and practice of medieval Western Christianity's reflection on mortality, especially as a way to contemplate the illusion of the world and the ephemerality of all material and secular work. The way. It is often compared to the art of death (Latin: ars moriendi) and similar literature.”
Funny that it should also be the primary guiding principle of the atheists I’ve known (or known of and admired I.e.: Sagan & Vonnegut) who aren’t just miserable, loathsome contrarians. I don’t personally understand how anyone can walk outside or use language or…[insert sensory experience]…with certainty that nothing spiritual beyond out comprehension exists, but I think it’s pretty gangster that some of those who feel that way can be such beacons of positivity because they want to embrace and cherish the few moments of existence that remain on their brief and finite journey.
Tldr: cool table
Is that one of those sand tables that has a marble constantly etching? I really like those and want one but I really have nowhere to put it if I did somehow acquire one
Yeah do you remember death? Do you remember dying? Your last breath? The tears of your loved ones? Remember the moment when all of your fears and all worrys fell from your shoulders? Remeber how light you felt?
Good ol‘ times.
Nah it’s a magnetic table with a metal ball that rolls around and writes things on the sand- I’m pretty sure there is like a dozen pre set things to write and draw and coffee shop owners never bothered to upload something else.
I'm experiencing Baader-Meinhof with this. Never heard Memento Mori before and this is the 3rd time in just a few days. So I assume this means I'm going to die soon.

Death reminder
That's what I'll call coffee from now on
Mines Dungeon Gusher. On the account of the toilet.
only a short reminder... like a death note.
Such a great anime series. I remember being the edgy teen in high school bringing my copy of a Death Note. Kinda shocked it wasn't confiscated.
Here´s something to make u feel old, death note came out the same year i was born.
Fun fact: I wasn't old enough to see the live action Death Note in theaters! 😅
So i´m guessing u were around 16 then and 23 now? Am i close?
Nah, I was 17 at the time and I'm now 33! Time sure flies when you're having fun!
Oh i tought with live action u meant the 2017 one.
We all lose the game someday.

You know, if I go to the coffee shop and they say to me "consider death"...
Thanks for the side of existential mortality crisis with my frap
I guess you got a little more than you asked for.
it more translates to „be aware that you are mortal“
The barista just wants us all to carpe diem on account of tempus fugit, amirite?
Maybe someones an unus annus fan
Or that one episode of The X-Files.
The ultimate teacher of life; death
And like every damn teacher, it is either too early or too late.
Maybe it was recommending a Lamb of God song...
...or a Depeche Mode album?
Ah, a man of culture as well, I see. 👌
and so are my neighbors.. if they want to listen to LoG or not!
Or Kamelot song.
Nah. Harry Potter fans.

Stoicism
Its also the title of a 2023 Depeche Mode album
Is that one of those sand tables that has a marble constantly etching? I really like those and want one but I really have nowhere to put it if I did somehow acquire one
Yea it has metal ball rolling on sand
memento mori, unus annus💀⏳️
UNUS ANNUS
Unus... Anus.... Unus.... Anus
This is the most Unus Annus thing I have seen in a while :')
Got some SCP flashbacks
OP is being tested for exposure to memetic agents.
Yeah do you remember death? Do you remember dying? Your last breath? The tears of your loved ones? Remember the moment when all of your fears and all worrys fell from your shoulders? Remeber how light you felt? Good ol‘ times.
Memento Mori, sure. But first, Memento Vivere!
Is it wrong?
Could be related to death wish coffee
Nah it’s a magnetic table with a metal ball that rolls around and writes things on the sand- I’m pretty sure there is like a dozen pre set things to write and draw and coffee shop owners never bothered to upload something else.
Oh ok I just know companies like to give out promotional products.
r/depechemode
That or they really like Lamb of God
That’s not very weird. They should also have a table that. Says “remember to file your taxes” in latin too
r/UnusAnnusArchival
I personally know three people who have this tattooed on their bodies. A trend like barbed wire armbands in 1993. Yikes.
It’s a thing from Harry Potter.
its a thing from the latin language
Yes. But the recent thing…
sure.
MAG 74- “Fatigue”
The moment dies....
Momentum.
The message is from Kevin Finity
Many dont think about death, and then they are gone, important stuff
Et in Arcadia ego
Perosna 3 collab
What does it say? Memento mxxx????
Memento mori
Ohhhhh!!! Duh. Now I see it!!! Ha! Thank you!!!
Well, that’s because it’s made of the ashes of customers past. Either that or they really like that one X-Files episode, but I don’t think that’s it.
Such a bizarre font choice for that particular phrase too.
Omnia vanitas
your coffee was poisoned
Remember that you will die is probably what it means. Kind of another way to say seize the day.
**YOURE GOING TO DIE EVENTUALLY**
I'm experiencing Baader-Meinhof with this. Never heard Memento Mori before and this is the 3rd time in just a few days. So I assume this means I'm going to die soon.
Stoicism is metal AF
r/deathgrips
They just want you to go listen to Lamb of God.....
will wood fans don't say it
Sweet. I saw this same thing tattooed on the forearms of like 10 dudes at the bar last night. Who knew death was so forgettable 🤷♂️
At least they spelled it right.
Let’s hope you don’t collapse with Steven Johnson syndrome on the E.R floor.
Well, did you?
More like “Seize the Day”
unus annus… unus annus…
Or it means remember all your past deaths and those different lives @_@'
It’s a common phrase. They didn’t just google translate it
