If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all?

For real, my genes suck, will happily keep them to myself

Genuinely thanks for that first line. I’ve held that idea for a long time without the correct words for it to explain how I feel to other people.
I feel like it also compliments the philosophy of “why not?” As in, “if nothing we do matters, why not be kind? Why not love people? Why not help people present and future?” If good and evil are equal utility, why not be a good person?

life's like minecraft (survival mode). you set your own goals and then you pursue them.

Lol I got sterilised at the age of 23. Guess I have nothing left to live for
️ /s -
It's important to me that I have no goal or purpose, and I will focus on making that come true no matter that.

Friend, have you considered becoming a full-time philosopher?

Also punching trees is a lot of fun.

We're just smelly sacks of biology like a rat or a lizard who happen to have developed higher reasoning capacity for whatever reason.

I promise that I will die. Even if it takes the rest of my life!

First existential crisis? There's isn't one. Once you make peace with that fact then you can overcome the existential dread of oblivion and move on content in the understanding that nothing you do matters in the long run, and focus your energy on something else.

Nothing happens to you after you die. The pieces to pick up and carry on is on those we leave behind, if we are remembered well. If not, the pieces to pick up and throw out is on them too, anyway.
If nothing happens after we die, it's the same thing as that nothing happens in a movie after it's ended. I hope that the character I was will still exist in peoples' mind even after I go. I've recently started to embrace that "All the world's a stage" thing a lot and lot more, recently.
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts," -
the number of trees I've punched in life is more than zero.

if one's life was just loneliness, failed relationships, and soul-draining work it might appear pointless
maybe there is lots of other things to do?

a game-o-sopher. when life gives you shitty loot, change the difficulty settings.

"There's no point living, so you may as well die" is so last decade. "There's no point dying, so you may as well live" is where it's at

Or "Bend over for authority".
Works with protestantism, catolicism and some others.
-
Huh?
what's your point? -
IMO the need for a higher authority is both because of fear of death, and to be lazy and not think about what is right and wrong. So either excuse yourself (ex. catolicism, ask oardon from god not the victim) or just believe "your" religion gives you the right to do as you please.
So stop living in fear and embrace the absurd that we, simple 100 years tops organic blobs live in a billion years universe.

Oh so you edited your post, how clever.
It was basically a basic call for joining Islaam.
