The number of posters in this thread who don't recognize Rick Moranis is too damn high!
- "a man" my ass!!
- TBF I didn't recognize him either until you said something, and I grew up with his films.
"It isn't very hard to see

Stop and think it over, pal

The guy sure looks like plant food to me."
Everything on this planet depends on everything else for survival in one way or another

Side note: I am reminded of Lil Shop of Horrors and the line "feed me Seymour" but I did not search if this is actually from the show

  Thanks
  I was on very low battery and couldn't check myself.

I thought it was fungus and bacteria that consumed us?
- decomposers turn organic material from corpses into simpler nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. for example, proteins are broken down into amino acids, which then decompose into ammonium and nitrates. these nutrients are absorbed into soil and consumed by plants
  
  tldr: plants eat corpses after decomposers turn them into nutrients
  
  Makes sense, thanks!
Titanium coffin it is.
Wheat is the most successful lifeform on the planet.
“It’s the circle of liiiife”
- It's more a figure-eight of life.

Jokes on the plants then, we poison our corpses and bury them in concentrated locations.
All plants are carnivorous or cannibals.
This made me think of Little house of horrors (the black in white one)
