ELI5: what happens to all of the atoms in our body when we die?
gpt
To many creatures people are just a walking meat pile. The only reason we don't get eaten is because we walk too fast (and our internal defense system kills anything we can't walk away from).

After death our bodies get eaten by bacteria, fungi, insects, small animals and whatnot. Our atoms eventually become atoms of animals and plants and earth and wind.
