I don't understand the question "what is the meaning of life"

[NaturalBornNEET]

It's like asking "what is the meth of drugs." Meaning is just the process of inventing that meaning, meaning can't be proven to parallel some actual truth, it is just an arbitrary invention. So the meaning of life is meaning. Just like the France of Planet Earth is France.

Maybe the better question is why are we here?
What is the point of any of this? It can't be to wage slave half your life.

Maybe consciousness doesn't have an off switch. Maybe we're here because we always have and will be.

don't worry about it it's just the existential whining of suicidal losers who can't reconcile a universe without a creator

It can be proven that certain types of meaning are superior and will always prevail over others. It can be shown that there's a consistent underlyimg pattern among all kinds meanimg humans have 'invented'.

Meaning itself is a meaning by giving life a third dimension beyond the mere pursuit of material wellbeing. Every meaning that gives us the ability to transcend our animal states ia vaild and, at least to some degree, 'objective'.

the answer is there are none,
you could head into that question on all frontiers, and ultimately the answer is there are none,
but im also not saying "meaningless" for a reason

We give it a "meaning", however we were created with purpose of doing grand things and living our life in some worthy way; but on the other hand, we're just such creatures that we just think about this kind of thing; asking existential, philosophical, religious kinds of questions, why do we even feel that urge to ask them? Welp, we were just made this way.
