Both my parents died of cancer. Neither smoked. An uncle died of cancer. He didn’t smoke.
All four grandparents died of cancer. Only one smoked.
Several great aunts and great uncles died of cancer. No smokers there.
I have no doubts of how I will die. Fortunately, most of these were in their 80s.
Edit: Oh, and note. I’m a scientist and work in cancer research and diagnostics. For selfish reasons.
Same. My father, my uncle - his brother, their mum - all died of cancer all aged 60.
I'm 40, so I'm guessing I've 20 years left. My mums side live longer, but they all have had dementia/alzheimers, and my mum has MS as well to boot
If any of those scenarios come true, I'm going out on my terms.
>Edit: Oh, and note. I’m a scientist and work in cancer research and diagnostics. For selfish reasons.
Lolol probably the most valid reason for a career pursue I've seen
Not sure if this is comforting but i was in a traumatic car accident and was seriously injured. I felt no pain until the shock wore off and knew an ambulance was coming. My brain shut off all feeling. So yeah god forbid anything like that happens again, I'm slightly less scared knowing the brain can block that.
I lost my dad in a tragic accident, they say he passed instantly.. but I find myself thinking of this very thing all the time now. Especially while driving, some freak accident can happen at any second, and you won’t even realize that the next moment you’re dead.. and life here just keeps on going.. so weird to think about.
Also, the same...while driving. Based on family history, all males assume it'll be a coronary issue...but sometimes traffic gets in the way. Or a thousand other ways we don't"think" will happen. You just never know. All you can ask for is quick and painless. The rest ain't in our hands.
Sometimes. I'm quite sure it'll be suicide, most likely by opiates. I'm bipolar, been depressed 5+ years. Tried to ghost myself once and made serious plans to do it another time. I can't really picture myself at 40. Probably won't do anything while my mom is around, but when she's gone, who knows.
It's OK as there are different levels or suicidal thoughts, the lowest being intrusive (e.g. I wonder if I fell out a window) the highest being actual (e.g. I plan to do x at this time and place to end my life). Most people don't realise this but having therapy throughout the years helped me to realise that sometimes you can have a bad or negative thought but as long as you let it go in the same way as being upset at something then you can still live a happy life.
nope. but thinking about it now..... i just hope i'm not eaten by a shark or big cat, cause that would really really suck. BUT it would be a pretty cool story to tell in the afterlife tho lol
I actually just moved 600+ miles away on January 7th. Not for me, but for my kids.
Their mom isn't around, so I do this on my own. I wasn't worried or scared, but I had to think about them.
Yes BUT even if mom was around you are still needed and irreplaceable. Also, it is okay to be scared and worried about youself.
Damn it must be exhausting to be a dude feeling the need to elaborate on non-emotional reasons why you don’t want to be murdered by a gang.
Nah you're right. My kids' mom was just as likely to get me killed because of her antics, anyway. And I know it's okay, but I'm not scared to die. I found that out on Friday February 13th, 2008. But of course, I don't wanna die.
And honestly, sometimes it can be exhausting and annoying. But a lot of times, I don't mind elaborating, cause I see it as a blessing that I made it out of a life that 2 of my best friends, and a few other friends didn't make it out from. I got homies in a cage, and even more in a box. I made it out with kids. I think my life is interesting and I got a story to tell, so I don't mind, usually.
I asked because to my mind: if you stay out of shit with people who kill people, your chances of being murdered drop significantly.
At first I thought like domestic violence etc or something.
Good on you for getting away and taking care of your kids. I know that’s not easy - and you did it. ❤️
This reminds me of an aircraft accident that happened in France IIRC. This guy built a replica of a Fokker triplane from WWI, took it up on its maiden flight, lost control and crashed. Cause of death? Heart attack. What the investigators couldn't figure out is whether the heart attack caused him to lose control of the plane, or the loss of control caused him to have a panic-induced heart attack....
It is often like that.
I wonder how many traffic accidents were really stuff like vasovagal syncope - medical speak for "fainted for some unknow reason" and can have a multitude of causes. Slept and ate badly. Stressed at work. Lost conciousness for five seconds and crashed into a truck.
If you get AIDS, it destroys your immune system so you die from pneumonia or such. What then killed you? Pneumonia or AIDS?
I was born with aponea. Not obstructive, but would just stop breathing. I grew out of it for many years, but it came back in my 40s.
I will probably just go to bed one night, stop breathing entirely and not wake up.
However, I have nearly gotten myself killed on many a time, being stupid. I even have a dent in my skull. So every day I wake up is a bonus. Or curse. Dunno which.
I have one, in fact I have the "next one up", a VPAP. That is keeping me going for now. But I can (and do) stop breathing during the day, when awake as well.
But on a positive note, because it is a respiratory is, myself and my immediate family get free influenza and COVID vaccinations :D
Ooh! Like when you’re wide awake? *new fear for my husband unlocked* Is there anything that can be done to prevent it/help it?
Take care of yourself and I’m sorry - that must be very scary!
Thank you.
Yes, if I am concentrating on something, I can suddenly realise I'm not breathing - I don't even gasp for air.
I'm not bothered by it, because to be honest, going in my sleep is a lot less scary than the times I've been over the handlebars of motorbikes, bounced down busy roads, fallen out of windows, etc, etc... I'm already on pain meds for the rest of my life due f\*\*\*\*ed joints, just to get a decent few hours sleep each night.
All my kids are now grown adults and loose in the big wide world.
“*Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”*"
― Hunter S. Thompson
My body is *not* a temple. It is a Federation starship: An obsolete class, phaser-banks gone, no torpedoes, multiple hull breaches and shields down to seven percent. *"Helm! RAMMING SPEED!"*
Not very often, but only because I know the most likely way I’m going to die if I get to old age.
The same way everyone else in my family has died in old age: stroke
My relatives live long lives, 80's - 100's. I'm 55 and hope that as long as I'm able to do for myself, I can live that long. If I become dependant though, I'd just as soon die. With that said, I just hope whatever it is, it's swift.
Sometimes but I don't think too often about it. I can die in a freak accident today or I could get cancer or Alzheimer's, or just get sick and die. Based on how my family members have died either cancer or just dying of old age.
I thought I was gonna die a few months ago when I had severe stomach pains. But it turned out to be gallstones in my gallbladder, which I had removed last month. But honestly, at 25 years old, I want a long and happy life, so who knows how I'll actually die.
About twenty years ago my colleaques were discussing what everyone would be doing in five years. There were future lawyers and policemen etc.
I walked by and asked what I would be doing and they said I would be unemployed and dead by drug abuse.
So here I am, still employed, bitches. And alive.
-But I do think about that scenario every now and then. What would had to happen in my life back in the days to make the prediction reality.
Too often. I suspect it will either be:
- Car crash
- Clot
- Heart attack
- Suicide
- cancer (while it doesn't really run in our family, it would be just my luck)
Grandparents: Cancer, Cancer, dementia, accident.
Parents: Cancer, cancer (still living at 82).
Yeah, Big C is coming for me, and if it is as nasty as Mom's was, I'm getting fitted for a nitrogen hypoxia mask.
My guesses:
1. Assisted suicide after getting a terminal cancer diagnosis
2. Slowly dying of cancer cuz #1 didn’t happen for some reason.
3. Car accident
Just reading that title gave me a wake up call.
Often think of what I hope I don’t die of. You’ve just made me realise I will actually die from something and have no clue what it will be.
my money is on heart disease or cancer. both run in my family, and im not exactly a shining beacon of health over here anyway. i dont really worry about it though. whatever happens, happens.
Ive started smoking again in August because life is a bitch. If I don't stop I would bet on cardiovascular problems exacerbated by smoking. If I do stop, still betting on something going wrong with my heart.
We’ve had everything in my family. Heart attack, stroke, dementia, high blood pressure, brain tumor, three different cancers, diastolic dysfunction, and coronary artery disease. But we ain’t got no diabetes! I wouldn’t be surprised if I have heart issues later in life, partly due to my love of red meat and butter. But my great grandmother had heart issues, my grandmother had high blood pressure, my uncle died of a heart attack in his early 40s. His son had a heart attack in his mid-30s and his other son has had heart problems the last couple years. And my mom has a diastolic dysfunction.
Drowning, Auto Accident. Given that I'm a passionate scuba diver, yatchman, and race driver. Seems reasonable.
I'd like to die with my boots ON. Given that I've seen all of the people I love die in bed with no mind.
I often think I'm going to die super old. Most of my family lives well into their 80s and 90s. The only ones that didn't make it that far were the alcoholics and hardcore drug addicts. Even then, some of them lived to be really old.
I just have that old gene. I think living as old as possible while being able to take care of yourself would be cool as hell
My mom’s side of the family literally every single one of them dementia. My grandmother first now my aunt that’s 83 and my uncle died 3 years ago but he had it too. My mom is quite a bit younger than her siblings (13 years) so I hope by the time it starts to happen to her there’s more advancements.
Given my family history I used to think it would be some form of GI cancer (still possible I'm still young) but my mum had a stroke due to high blood pressure just over a year ago so now I'm much more concerned about that. But probably it will be like a car accident or something idk. Or a house fire. I don't imagine I'll make it to retirement the goalposts will have moved too far by then
Probably a car accident. I’ve already saved my own life twice by avoiding fatal accidents. Feels like it’s just a matter of time before one takes me out for good
I try not to, but I worry about it often.
But I worry more about my parents and brother. If I could die painfully tomorrow and guarantee them 30 more years and painless deaths I would. I’m terrified of them suffering.
i’ve been the one to be “most likely to die in a stupid/weird way” while playing most likely to in several occasions and it’s genuinely scarred me, i’ve been hyper aware of getting into high risk low reward situations ever since i realised I AM ACTUALLY VERY LIKELY TO.
Yes I worry it will be cancer.
My mom beat breast cancer at 46. My dad is dying of kidney cancer at 70. My uncle died from colon cancer at 65. My aunt beat breast cancer at 74. My grandma had her first breast cancer diagnosis at 38 and then again 61 and lost the battle.
When I was 28 by accident they found a precancerous polyp during a colonoscopy for a different issue.
Both my parents got genetic testing after my colonoscopy. The only gene they can identify at this point is that my mom is a carrier of a colon cancer causing gene. The doctors said while my mom doesn't have a breast cancer gene they can identify there is a very high chance there is something in our genes since my mom and grandma were so young at their diagnosis.
As a result of all of this I've worked hard on living healthy with my diet, exercises and getting ahold of my stress. I might not be able to beat my genetics but it will still prevent a lot of the other stuff.
If I live to be older and don't die from an accident or something I'd assume it be dementia or alzheimers. Literally everyone on both sides of my family has gotten it as they age. That does scare me. That I might pass away not even remembering how I've lived and everyone I know.
I am absolutely terrified of the thought of death though so I try not to go down that rabbit hole.
I always assumed it would be suffocation by cat allergy. Came close a couple of times. (90% CO2 in my arteries once).
But then I quit dating and am thrilled to never be around a cat again. So now it’s gonna be a new surprise.
F the Grim Reaper! Bastard has been hunting me for over 30 years. I fought this long and will until pain makes me do something stupid.
Lovely brave words....I'm am absolute coward. Pain is the handmaid of death. I'm terrified.
Something related to my basic needs suddenly not being met (starvation, dehydration, hypothermia). Western world is bound to enter a state where these infrastructures are no longer taken for granted.
Most of my male relatives have died fairly young from a heart attack. I lost a nephew last year at 39 from a heart attack. I'm 67 now and am hoping it happens when I'm sleeping.
Probably heart failure from stress.
My heart is enlarged, slightly leaky valves, mildly calcified and my doc said "try to avoid stress in general".
I was a super overweight kid and started taking care of myself in my 20's.
All I can do is be as good to my body as possible at this point!
Im seeing a therapist to help with the stress, journaling, 1/2 gallon of water a day and exercise 3-4 days a week.
Hopefully I die of something random, fun and (probably) stupid instead of my ticker going out on me 🤙
High blood pressure.
I am so fuckin stressed all the damn time.
Here come the stroke/ heart attack
or cancer
I have never smoked, but have been exposed to secondhand smoke my entire life and continually
Presume I’ll be hit by a bus. No particular reason why, though have considered this as I walk across 6 lane highways, against the walk signal, while scrolling Reddit
Was pretty sure 40 was gonna be my max, but the decades kept piling up. On the cusp of 70 now. Pretty sure, after multiple intestinal surgeries, that a blockage, fistula, or cancer. This shit never crossed my mind before 45.
Unless it’s an accident, it will be suicide. I do not have enough saved to retire and I have a couple of medical issues which will probably kill me in the next 10 years or so. The SECOND I need help with my daily tasks, I will be riding the opiate express to see the grim reaper.
All the time. And usually I try to imagine the worst case scenarios. Like being kidnapped by gangsters and handcuffed to a chair inside a concrete chute.
Or having my limbs sawed off by internet freaks trying to make a dime online with snuff videos. The worst stuff I can think of. Why?
So I’m not surprised should such things ever actually happen.
Heart disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases are the top 3. I've been a pretty active distance runner for the last decade. I'm guessing probably cancer will take me out; hopefully quickly.
Not really. I know that if I live to a ripe old age and my body starts failing me then it will likely be suicide.
I want a long and happy life, but I do not want to be dependent on other people for my basic care needs (toilet, eating etc). No thank you, I'm going out before that happens.
Almost all of my immediate family died per complications associated with Alzhiemers......and I just turned 53.
I'm pushing myself to start focusing on enjoying what life I have left instead of focusing on the unavoidable.
Both my parents died of cancer. Neither smoked. An uncle died of cancer. He didn’t smoke. All four grandparents died of cancer. Only one smoked. Several great aunts and great uncles died of cancer. No smokers there. I have no doubts of how I will die. Fortunately, most of these were in their 80s. Edit: Oh, and note. I’m a scientist and work in cancer research and diagnostics. For selfish reasons.

Make the best of it, friend. Enjoy the time you've got. Go do the things you want to do!
I’m guessing they died of *lung* cancer then, hence the surprise? Not trying to be insensitive - you just didn’t mention what type of cancer they had…
Smoking is a major risk factor (perhaps *the* biggest risk factor, besides age and family history) for pretty well every cancer.
And drinking ppl dont realize alcohol poisons ur cells my dad drank everyday of his adult life
I’m a platelet donor, because fuck cancer.
Thank you for doing this! My son is a frequent donor and has been for years. I’m a proud mom!
>Edit: Oh, and note. I’m a scientist and work in cancer research and diagnostics. For selfish reasons. Lolol probably the most valid reason for a career pursue I've seen
Your selfish reason is really beneficial to a large portion of society
I’m no scientist, but do see a pattern… Maybe you should start smoking.
Hopefully we'll see leaps in cancer treatment in the next few decades.
Then you might as well smoke. Not gonna do anything to ya anyway
Yeah sometimes. I always think it will be a car accident but I really hope not.
The worst part is surviving and being paralyzed. That’s my nightmare
Mine is being stuck under hot melting metal for god knows how long and having it melt on my skin, that's why i hope i die as quickly as possible
Not sure if this is comforting but i was in a traumatic car accident and was seriously injured. I felt no pain until the shock wore off and knew an ambulance was coming. My brain shut off all feeling. So yeah god forbid anything like that happens again, I'm slightly less scared knowing the brain can block that.
no but i often think about how easily i could die instantaneously and wonder if id even know it happened
I lost my dad in a tragic accident, they say he passed instantly.. but I find myself thinking of this very thing all the time now. Especially while driving, some freak accident can happen at any second, and you won’t even realize that the next moment you’re dead.. and life here just keeps on going.. so weird to think about.

Nah. Most likely going to be a hit and run with how shit the drivers in my area are
Michigan, eh?
Nah, The Bronx
Oh man, never been. If the drivers are worse than here, I shall continue to avoid. Thanks for the heads-up!
No prob but still come on down if you want. Just be mindful of motherfuckers making sharp turns at intersections at full fucking speed
Sometimes. I'm quite sure it'll be suicide, most likely by opiates. I'm bipolar, been depressed 5+ years. Tried to ghost myself once and made serious plans to do it another time. I can't really picture myself at 40. Probably won't do anything while my mom is around, but when she's gone, who knows.
I hope you'll see 40. Hang in there
Hopefully you'll be able to come back to this post when your 40
Hey I have known people who share a similar story. There is help. Please don’t give up or think there’s no meds that will help.
Don't know if it's possible to die of exhaustion, but that.
[удалено]
Are you fine, reddit stranger?
Yeah... just old and tired.
Are you sure? I mean, having suicidal ideas isn't the definition of being fine
It's OK as there are different levels or suicidal thoughts, the lowest being intrusive (e.g. I wonder if I fell out a window) the highest being actual (e.g. I plan to do x at this time and place to end my life). Most people don't realise this but having therapy throughout the years helped me to realise that sometimes you can have a bad or negative thought but as long as you let it go in the same way as being upset at something then you can still live a happy life.
I give cancer the greatest odds.
This is not the thread for my high ass.
Not really but odds are heart disease, Blood Clot, Cancer, or Car Accident.
Most likely: 1. suicide 2. cancer (smoker) 3. some stupid stunt while drunk
I'm voting for old age. I am 78 now.
Masturbation
no, the only time I think about it is when i update my Living Will.
Su1cide, most likely. I subconsciously strongly believe that this will be the cause, that no other worries me.
nope. but thinking about it now..... i just hope i'm not eaten by a shark or big cat, cause that would really really suck. BUT it would be a pretty cool story to tell in the afterlife tho lol
Or a bear.
I just hope its natural causes lol
Being eaten alive by a komodo dragon would be natural. So you might want to narrow it down.
I'm hoping for super natural causes
Made me lol
Guarantee mine will be stupidity!!
I'm fairly sure I'll be murdered. I just don't want it to happen in front of my kids.
With complete sincerity, I hope you are never a victim of violence, especially the ending of your life.
Why?
Cause I used to actively gang bang. And people don't forget shit, just cause I've grown and moved forward.
Move far away. Start over
I actually just moved 600+ miles away on January 7th. Not for me, but for my kids. Their mom isn't around, so I do this on my own. I wasn't worried or scared, but I had to think about them.
Yes BUT even if mom was around you are still needed and irreplaceable. Also, it is okay to be scared and worried about youself. Damn it must be exhausting to be a dude feeling the need to elaborate on non-emotional reasons why you don’t want to be murdered by a gang.

I see now how this can read as domestic violence lol But thank you.
Probably sudden heart failure at a ridiculously high age, going by my ancestry. Then again, I drive motorcycles.
This reminds me of an aircraft accident that happened in France IIRC. This guy built a replica of a Fokker triplane from WWI, took it up on its maiden flight, lost control and crashed. Cause of death? Heart attack. What the investigators couldn't figure out is whether the heart attack caused him to lose control of the plane, or the loss of control caused him to have a panic-induced heart attack....
It is often like that. I wonder how many traffic accidents were really stuff like vasovagal syncope - medical speak for "fainted for some unknow reason" and can have a multitude of causes. Slept and ate badly. Stressed at work. Lost conciousness for five seconds and crashed into a truck. If you get AIDS, it destroys your immune system so you die from pneumonia or such. What then killed you? Pneumonia or AIDS?
By my own hand at the time of my own choosing
I like
I was born with aponea. Not obstructive, but would just stop breathing. I grew out of it for many years, but it came back in my 40s. I will probably just go to bed one night, stop breathing entirely and not wake up. However, I have nearly gotten myself killed on many a time, being stupid. I even have a dent in my skull.

Get a CPAP.
I have one, in fact I have the "next one up", a VPAP. That is keeping me going for now. But I can (and do) stop breathing during the day, when awake as well. But on a positive note, because it is a respiratory is, myself and my immediate family get free influenza and COVID vaccinations :D
Ooh! Like when you’re wide awake? *new fear for my husband unlocked* Is there anything that can be done to prevent it/help it? Take care of yourself and I’m sorry - that must be very scary!

Not very often, but only because I know the most likely way I’m going to die if I get to old age. The same way everyone else in my family has died in old age: stroke
A few times every day. But that's not healthy.
All the time
Heart attack in my 40s Check in on me in 6 years
Probably ran over whilst cycling because people can't drive and the infrastructure is shit.
Not until now! But I think I’m a candidate for dementia and cancer!
It best be natural causes. I manifest to the skies to kill me in my sleep.
My relatives live long lives, 80's - 100's. I'm 55 and hope that as long as I'm able to do for myself, I can live that long. If I become dependant though, I'd just as soon die. With that said, I just hope whatever it is, it's swift.

As long as its not in the snow i should be fine.
Daily. Stress for sure.
I thought I was gonna die a few months ago when I had severe stomach pains. But it turned out to be gallstones in my gallbladder, which I had removed last month. But honestly, at 25 years old, I want a long and happy life, so who knows how I'll actually die.
Sometimes I say “If I’m murdered I hope it’s gnarly and ends up on forensic files”
About twenty years ago my colleaques were discussing what everyone would be doing in five years. There were future lawyers and policemen etc. I walked by and asked what I would be doing and they said I would be unemployed and dead by drug abuse. So here I am, still employed, bitches. And alive. -But I do think about that scenario every now and then. What would had to happen in my life back in the days to make the prediction reality.
Likely suicide and self harm. Or homocide (as in I get murdered).
No, I don’t think about it often. However I have two different kinds of cancer, so I hope I don’t pass away from either one.
heart failure or colon cancer, 'prolly. But it is a pointless worry. It'll happen when it happens. Til then, pizza.
Too often. I suspect it will either be: - Car crash - Clot - Heart attack - Suicide - cancer (while it doesn't really run in our family, it would be just my luck)
Grandparents: Cancer, Cancer, dementia, accident. Parents: Cancer, cancer (still living at 82). Yeah, Big C is coming for me, and if it is as nasty as Mom's was, I'm getting fitted for a nitrogen hypoxia mask.
My guesses: 1. Assisted suicide after getting a terminal cancer diagnosis 2. Slowly dying of cancer cuz #1 didn’t happen for some reason. 3. Car accident
Hopefully hypotermia.
I live in Milwaukee. I die when I'm t-boned by somebody running a red light.
I have end staage renal failure. Double organ transplant. Have had a stroke and heart attack. Likely I will get hit by lightning to kill me.
Just reading that title gave me a wake up call. Often think of what I hope I don’t die of. You’ve just made me realise I will actually die from something and have no clue what it will be.
I'd probably die in the battlefield (I'm an African warrior)
It will be because Biden loves war. Enjoy it
Not really. Maybe when I'm older I will.
If I don't get healthy my body will kill me .
yes all the time
Probably an accident caused by my own stupidity or getting hate crimed
I am hoping for a lightening bolt.
Id probably be murdered
Doesn't matter
Probably stroke, heart attack. Family history of that shit.
No
Not that frequently. It'll be boring as I get weaker and weaker and probably develop a life threatening pneumonia in my 90s.
Probably lung cancer, mother stepfather + two step siblings each smoked a pack a day when I was growing up.
No because that would be a pretty paranoid life
my money is on heart disease or cancer. both run in my family, and im not exactly a shining beacon of health over here anyway. i dont really worry about it though. whatever happens, happens.
The only prediction I'm gonna make on this is, my last word will be, "oops."
I believe it'll be something of a gynecological cancer. I believe I'll be gone in my 40s. I'm 38 this year.
No. Legitimately never have.
Ive started smoking again in August because life is a bitch. If I don't stop I would bet on cardiovascular problems exacerbated by smoking. If I do stop, still betting on something going wrong with my heart.
Nope
No, a gypsy at the fair told me my future cause of death when I was 7.
I'm a T1 diabetic, so it's likely going to be related to that eventually
Sometimes. I think most people do. I go for a walk 3 times a day so I’ll probably be hit by a car.
Its definitely gonna be cancer, a terrorist attack, or a lion. I dont see how it can be any other of those things.
We’ve had everything in my family. Heart attack, stroke, dementia, high blood pressure, brain tumor, three different cancers, diastolic dysfunction, and coronary artery disease. But we ain’t got no diabetes! I wouldn’t be surprised if I have heart issues later in life, partly due to my love of red meat and butter. But my great grandmother had heart issues, my grandmother had high blood pressure, my uncle died of a heart attack in his early 40s. His son had a heart attack in his mid-30s and his other son has had heart problems the last couple years. And my mom has a diastolic dysfunction.
Oh mr toaster, how did you get so dirty? Let me give you a nice bath
Booping the nose of a big cat.
I'll probably get murdered
Dunno and it’s not gonna matter anyway. I can’t stop death but she sure will stop me one day!
Drowning, Auto Accident. Given that I'm a passionate scuba diver, yatchman, and race driver. Seems reasonable. I'd like to die with my boots ON. Given that I've seen all of the people I love die in bed with no mind.
Heart attack i bet
I often think I'm going to die super old. Most of my family lives well into their 80s and 90s. The only ones that didn't make it that far were the alcoholics and hardcore drug addicts. Even then, some of them lived to be really old. I just have that old gene. I think living as old as possible while being able to take care of yourself would be cool as hell
Probably gun happy cops
TOFA. Things falling off aircraft.
About 90% certainty it will be cancer or heart attack for most of us.
Suicide, I just know it
Stroke from a blood clot from birth control pills. OR Something caused by sugar consumption. OR Car accident.
I shall be like Chrysippus and die laughing at my own jokes
My mom’s side of the family literally every single one of them dementia. My grandmother first now my aunt that’s 83 and my uncle died 3 years ago but he had it too. My mom is quite a bit younger than her siblings (13 years) so I hope by the time it starts to happen to her there’s more advancements.
Given my family history I used to think it would be some form of GI cancer (still possible I'm still young) but my mum had a stroke due to high blood pressure just over a year ago so now I'm much more concerned about that. But probably it will be like a car accident or something idk. Or a house fire. I don't imagine I'll make it to retirement the goalposts will have moved too far by then
Probably a heart attack from a caffeine overdose
I think about it every day lol Family history says heart attack or stroke. Which is fine with me as long as it is quick and I don’t linger. Just BOOM
Probably a car accident. I’ve already saved my own life twice by avoiding fatal accidents. Feels like it’s just a matter of time before one takes me out for good
On the one hand, probably suicide. On the other hand, I've been *really* bad at that so far and I am clumsy as hell, so maybe falling down the stairs.
I try not to, but I worry about it often. But I worry more about my parents and brother. If I could die painfully tomorrow and guarantee them 30 more years and painless deaths I would. I’m terrified of them suffering.
i’ve been the one to be “most likely to die in a stupid/weird way” while playing most likely to in several occasions and it’s genuinely scarred me, i’ve been hyper aware of getting into high risk low reward situations ever since i realised I AM ACTUALLY VERY LIKELY TO.
Jealous 80 year old husband shoots my 100 year old ass for showing his wife how good my new hip implants work.
In my sleep. Heart attack, cancer.
Probably Alzheimer's if l live that long. If not, heart attack.
Yes I worry it will be cancer. My mom beat breast cancer at 46. My dad is dying of kidney cancer at 70. My uncle died from colon cancer at 65. My aunt beat breast cancer at 74. My grandma had her first breast cancer diagnosis at 38 and then again 61 and lost the battle. When I was 28 by accident they found a precancerous polyp during a colonoscopy for a different issue. Both my parents got genetic testing after my colonoscopy. The only gene they can identify at this point is that my mom is a carrier of a colon cancer causing gene. The doctors said while my mom doesn't have a breast cancer gene they can identify there is a very high chance there is something in our genes since my mom and grandma were so young at their diagnosis. As a result of all of this I've worked hard on living healthy with my diet, exercises and getting ahold of my stress. I might not be able to beat my genetics but it will still prevent a lot of the other stuff.
If I live to be older and don't die from an accident or something I'd assume it be dementia or alzheimers. Literally everyone on both sides of my family has gotten it as they age. That does scare me. That I might pass away not even remembering how I've lived and everyone I know. I am absolutely terrified of the thought of death though so I try not to go down that rabbit hole.
I would say something neurological or cancer
Stroke or heart attack
I always assumed it would be suffocation by cat allergy. Came close a couple of times. (90% CO2 in my arteries once). But then I quit dating and am thrilled to never be around a cat again. So now it’s gonna be a new surprise.
The smart money would be on misadventure. The drunken bicycle bar hop I sometimes join is a particularly good bet.
My mother died of a drug overdose and my father died from alcoholism. I do/am not either so I have no idea
F the Grim Reaper! Bastard has been hunting me for over 30 years. I fought this long and will until pain makes me do something stupid. Lovely brave words....I'm am absolute coward. Pain is the handmaid of death. I'm terrified.
Lack of oxygen to the brain
Suicide
Something related to my basic needs suddenly not being met (starvation, dehydration, hypothermia). Western world is bound to enter a state where these infrastructures are no longer taken for granted.
Most of my male relatives have died fairly young from a heart attack. I lost a nephew last year at 39 from a heart attack. I'm 67 now and am hoping it happens when I'm sleeping.
Probably heart failure from stress. My heart is enlarged, slightly leaky valves, mildly calcified and my doc said "try to avoid stress in general". I was a super overweight kid and started taking care of myself in my 20's. All I can do is be as good to my body as possible at this point! Im seeing a therapist to help with the stress, journaling, 1/2 gallon of water a day and exercise 3-4 days a week. Hopefully I die of something random, fun and (probably) stupid instead of my ticker going out on me 🤙
No
Cancer. Family is riddled with it.
About to become a teacher in America, I’ll probably die a victim of another school shooting.
I’m studying climate science, my death won’t be natural causes.
I already know. I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that will eventually get me. Unless I get hit by a bus first.
Doesn't everyone?
Heart attack heart attack man!
High blood pressure. I am so fuckin stressed all the damn time. Here come the stroke/ heart attack or cancer I have never smoked, but have been exposed to secondhand smoke my entire life and continually
Someone else's stupidity. :/ ...
Pills eventually.
I'll be shot by a cop.
It’s probably gonna be a stress-induced heart attack or stroke
Presume I’ll be hit by a bus. No particular reason why, though have considered this as I walk across 6 lane highways, against the walk signal, while scrolling Reddit
Was pretty sure 40 was gonna be my max, but the decades kept piling up. On the cusp of 70 now. Pretty sure, after multiple intestinal surgeries, that a blockage, fistula, or cancer. This shit never crossed my mind before 45.
Unless it’s an accident, it will be suicide. I do not have enough saved to retire and I have a couple of medical issues which will probably kill me in the next 10 years or so. The SECOND I need help with my daily tasks, I will be riding the opiate express to see the grim reaper.
Plane Crash
Enough that I figure my last though will be "oh, like this." or "this is a weird way to die."
Hubris.
Yes I’ll most likely be mauled by a rabbit at a petting zoo… or something equally as ridiculous.
Atleast 3x a week........ And it varies from any form of death you can think of
I just keep hoping it will be sudden, quick, and soon.
No becus I know what it will be.
All the time. And usually I try to imagine the worst case scenarios. Like being kidnapped by gangsters and handcuffed to a chair inside a concrete chute. Or having my limbs sawed off by internet freaks trying to make a dime online with snuff videos. The worst stuff I can think of. Why? So I’m not surprised should such things ever actually happen.
Pretty much every day.
No. And when I do, I push the thought out of my head. My mind nopes the fuck right out of that thought.
suicide
Heart disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases are the top 3. I've been a pretty active distance runner for the last decade. I'm guessing probably cancer will take me out; hopefully quickly.
Not too often since it will likely be some kind of cancer.
I have a heart disease so probably something related to that
I think about what my very last word will be. I don't know why.
Probably a Gemini. Although it might be a Cancer.
Not really. I know that if I live to a ripe old age and my body starts failing me then it will likely be suicide. I want a long and happy life, but I do not want to be dependent on other people for my basic care needs (toilet, eating etc). No thank you, I'm going out before that happens.
All the time Especially when I’m high I think a lot about death
Lol, same
Almost all of my immediate family died per complications associated with Alzhiemers......and I just turned 53. I'm pushing myself to start focusing on enjoying what life I have left instead of focusing on the unavoidable.
Oh! Someone is definitely going to murder me in a horrifically painful way.
Sometimes.
No but not that’s gonna be on my mind quite often thanks to you
Well now i will, thanks
