no you cant tell anyone youre going to die, you have 24 hours starting now
Call out sick from work, spend the day with my kids, do something meaningful with them, then put them to bed.
Yeah pretty much this.
But if you’re not at work your boss won’t be able to say you were a company man to the last and use your example as a cudgel against the other staff.
meamibgful as in? (edit: as in what things are meaningful to them)
Things that they want to do, go to the park, etc. I wouldn’t want to drag them around to something they probably aren’t in the mood for.
Tbh I think if this genuinely happened and I just found out right now, I would just start walking and not stopping. I would think I’d be the most mindful and alert I have ever been in my life and I wouldn’t want to waste that. I also imagine I would also probably be extremely nice to everyone. Like someone’s walking in the rain or something and I’d just hand them the coat I was wearing for them to keep. It would look really weird lol but I think that’s the kind of hyper-selflessness that you’d just do without even a thought if you knew you were about to die.
Thanks for asking this question btw it’s very intriguing. It makes me wonder if it’s even remotely possible to live each day like it’s your last y’know.
At some point it would become exhausting. You’d be mentally drained all the time; I honestly do not think it’s the best to live life as if every day was the last, else you’d be missing out on life itself. Every single day that we are alive is a day that we experience life. Ups and downs are impossible to avoid, it’s apart of it, but it’s that experience which makes us happy to live - and thinking of every day being the last is allowing yourself to live in a parallel world, experiencing life as a mirage.
That was really insightful tysm for replying. I feel like you’ve thought about this before haha.
Yeah I think you might be right, sometimes it feels like a day’s been wasted because I didn’t spend it exactly how I envision a good day, but there are different kinds of good. Every experience and feeling is unique and it’s hard to say that one experience or feeling is objectively better than another.
Also I like your phrasing ‘happy to live’, it sounds like contendedness which I do believe is possible unlike permanent happiness. Have you heard of that infinite happiness machine thing btw?
It’s somewhat of a common topic (life and living) between my wife and I, we share similar philosophies in life so it’s pretty normal for us to expand and better define what we believe. I would like to say we have found a good standing on where and what we believe to understand, but everything changes overtime, and I’m sure that I’ll understand something completely different.
Have you heard of that infinite happiness machine thing btw?
I don’t believe so haha. Sounds strangely dystopian though - mind explaining it?
Delete all my porn and write down all my passwords for my wife.
Convince my spouse to stay home from work and do all her favorite activities, basically give her a really awesome day to remember me by.
I would immediately buy everybody everything on credit, then die.
does credit not transfer
Your debts cannot be transferred to your next of kin when you die, but they will need to be paid out from your estate before it’s disbursed to your family
Ah, my estate. Yes, of course. My estate will certainly pay. 10 of your jumbo credit cards please.
Your estate refers to everything you own. If you own a car, it’ll be sold to cover your debts when you die. Same with your house, all of the food in it, your computer with all of your porn tabs still open, and even your signed vhs collection of rare midget scat porn from the 1990s. It all gets sold off to settle your debts when you die, before it can be distributed to your next of kin.
I’m not optimistic they’ll get much, but you raise a good point. Just the first editions of Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and Shitizen Cane are worth their weight in liquid gold to the right investor.
What if you sold all of your stuff and maxed out a bunch of credit cards to buy people stuff so you had no actual estate?
wdym ‘estate’, is this an infinite money glitch or not
Maybe hire a hooker. Feed my dog a steak. Write a will. Test drive a hellcat. Hire another hooker.
I’d do it in that order too
I’d worry writing a will then suddenly dying would come off as suspicious.
hookers are rape
try to meet with or call everyone i love and tell them how much i love them
i’d tell everyone I could, you cant tell me what to do
Kill my self. Die on my own terms, and mess up whoever’s plan it was for me to die in 24hrs
control is overrated in this context. I would recommend that you just go have fun instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The rules state you die tomorrow, not anytime before that. So effectively you are immortal for 24 hours.
But I’m not scared of death anyway. I’m scared of pain.
I’d probably spend the day doing nice things for my wife
Finalize my will.

Well im on the other side of the country from my wife. Also 8 hours from the nearest airport to get home.
I think i wouls drive the great Australian bite and write out my feelings and how much i love mt wife and friends, then sit on the bottom of Australia and watch the sun set off those cliffs then set the text to send after i die, (since i cant tell anyone ahead of time)
It would be lonely but i think cathartic too, just a chance to decompress from the world before the forever sleep
Fuck knows. Panic?
Stop worrying. Maybe go out to eat tonight.
Yeah, this would be it. All of my future worries and duties have suddenly been wiped away! Just gonna take it chill and wait for the release.
Nothin. Anything I’d want to do would cost money, and money is the thing I dont have.
Maybe speed things along if nothing else.
we don’t need money, just credit. It’s not like we’ll need to pay it off.
You got 24 hours left to live. You aint getting no credit anywhere fast enough to use before the end of the day.
duh
that assumes you already have a credit line, as one should.
Yeah, I would just chill and ignore everyone’s requests.
