If you Knew the Day you Died...

[Deleted]

Lets say you accessed a magical book or something full of forbidden knowledge. You read in and find out its a book that lists the eventual deaths of everyone, and you happen to have found yourself. So now you know you're going to die.

How would you live the rest of your life? You could commit suicide to shorten the length but you can't avoid the due date, if you isolate yourself in Alaska you'll probably just explode or something.

Personally I would live my normal life trying to change the world as much as I can, by working with doctors or as a detective, then on my last day contemplate what I've done and tell everyone of the curse I've been living. You?

 

[AkJay]

depends, if it's tomorrow, I'd make the best of today, if it's 80 years from now, I'd live the rest of my life, and hope Alzheimer's kicks in and I'll forget the horrible truth.

 

[Guy32]

Rock and Roll all night and party ever-y day.

 

[Bassman_2]

Congratulations, you have provided me inspiration for my mandatory poem for school.

OT: I would probably think of locking myself away safely the day before, too late to realize that the day before I was in an accident from which I died from the next day.

 

[SimuLord]

Hope like hell that date wasn't in too near of the future. If it told me I was going to live until 2050 or something (I'll be 73 that year), I'd live my life knowing that it will be a full one.

If it says something like January 1, 2010, then hello "casual encounters" ads on Craigslist! Who wants some of this?

 

[StonkThis]

I would tell people how to capitalize correctly.

The situation varies. If it's really far from now, probably wouldn't worry much, but if it's soon, I would tell the girl I like how I feel, I would punch every douchebag and I would get rid of my braces... I hate these things.

Make that death awesome

Like riding a bomb or jumping off mount everest and punch the face of god while falling to the ground into a vat of liquid gold to be solidified in the most awesome pose ever, where ill end up in some basterds garage where he keeps his shit anime comics and unforgivable porn.

maybe ill build the death star so someone can throw me down its many Levels

or freeze in the vaccum of space with the last words of "Well, Here I am"

By the beard of zeus that would be cool.

 

[Disaster Button]

I think knowing my Death Day might actually motivate me to do something, instead of just wandering along thinking "I have forever to do that" and instead watching cartoons.

Although I probably will start to not care about somethings, school maybe, and focus on becoming famous in a Jazz Trio. Or maybe an Electronic band. Or decide to slack off for awhile and watch cartoons.

 

[OmegaXIII]

I would live pretty much normally until the day then do a whole load of crap that i could never do because of laws and whatnot before snuffing out. And yes that would involve killing a lot of people who piss me off...

 

[Captain Schpack]

Depends on when it is. I'd confess everything and write poetry, smoke and drink till my final hours (if it was soon). if it was lets 60 or later I'd be like ok but live every day as if it were my last.

or i wouldn't look i'd burn the book. But tell every douche on earth (EVEN YOU BUSH) when they'd die to put them in a state of lifelong panic and paranoia (when their death day comes)

 

[EMO_of_LiGHT]

Again depends on how long ya got. If its long, great, continue doing whatever you were in the first place. If its short, smoke somthing, make a bucket list of stupid crap while high (like take bullfighting lessons, attept to eat 10 Big Macs in one sitting, be someone's wingman while staying completly sober, etc.) and then proceed to accomplish as much of that as possible. Then at least you'll die with some bizzare sense of accomplishment.

 

[MercenaryCanary]

I think that death is discussed waaaaaaaay too much.
You'd think that people would just be normal and realize that they are instruments of death, then go on a big power trip, and start maiming and torturing little animals.
But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! You have to go and discuss it like civilized people, yet no one can truly realize that death isn't that civilized.

But I guess I would go on a road of Pacifist intentions.
And try and make North Korea no longer all "evil".
And some other stuff.
You know.
That stuff.

 

[Flishiz]

Obviously it would turn into that episode of Family Guy, and I'd make millions as a sort of human robocop frying terrorist headquarters and drug cartel compounds. And just to really piss off fate, I'd spend my fortune on stock market research.

 

[xHipaboo420x]

I'd kill myself a few days before it finally happened, just to spite Fate.

 

[-Drifter-]

It depends on how long I have left. If it's 80 years or so, then I'd swim across the ocean.

Yes, I said the same thing in the immortality thread.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I'd essentially live the film Big Fish, making my own destiny without fear of death.

 

[dududf]

I'd make sure I died of Snoo Snoo.

Orgy anyone?

 

[Fniff]

I would just go look at a pack of spiders in a high tower with glass floors, with pictures of clowns everywhere. The pure shock of my phobias combined will cause me to pass out, and I would forget the date with the spiders.

Or make you have a heart attack.

Congrats on cheating death... By dying.
