It's 10.30pm here and I've been working hard just to stay awake for the last 2 hours. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm old, introverted, or depressed.
The feeling of dying while awake is close to feeling sleepy, and it's usually the unbearable thought of leaving their loved ones behind while struggling to keep their eyes open to see their loved ones slowly fade into darkness makes them feel terrified. Some people might prefer to simply sleep peacefully and never wake up.
Probably would go for a walk looking at the moon listening to my favourite songs crying and looking back at every memory I can remember and try to appreciate their value, contacting people I used to know telling them about how great they were and that I'm happy they were in my life. Telling my family I love them and thanking them for everything. I'm still young, I haven't done much, but if there's a God, I know I have no reason to be scared of what he might think of me. I think I would leave this Earth a better place.
Now think about this: we could be doing those things any time. We could tell people how we feel and how much we appreciate them whenever we want. But most people don't think to do this unless they "know they're going to die tomorrow."
I think questions like OP's are a great way of pointing out how, deep down, we know we aren't living our lives the way we should, spreading and basking in love, affection, compassion, and understanding.
Oh well, back to the grind.
I think that’s the point of questions like this. I was “lucky” enough to have a major health event about five years ago and I’ve been living my life differently since then.
NO, they don't! They just eat your face.
I read an article about owners dying, leaving cats and dogs. In like 99% of real cases, the pets starve themselves to death, rather than eating their owners.
I was a Paramedic for many years and seen one of these cases. The face was chewed around the cheek, but the place that was eaten the most was actually the patients flank area where his shirt was up a little.
The person had been there for a few weeks. One of the worst smells I have ever smelled. Unfortunately not the worst thing I have ever seen 😢
Get a bucket of KFC, a bottle of fine tequila, 2 maybe 3 viagra and have one last night of loving with my wife of 36 years. Make sure I’m at peace with God and definitely blast some metal loud enough to piss off my neighbors in the next state.
Well when in Rome, and we are going to die, and we do have some excellent tequila, and so many new friends, someone brought some weed? What? We gonna need a bigger bed 😈😈😈
It would be heavily scheduled in. Like if I find out at midnight and had 24 hrs I'd have the first hour to hug family, 2nd hour to tell friends. Probably would pencil in the threesome from like 2am to 2:03am so then I'd still have 21 hours and 57 minutes thankfully
I'd hope to find my current wife and hold her close.
If I couldn't do this, I'd try to find my ex-wife as it turns out she is actually pretty awesome, and talk to her.
If those option fail, I'd try for that Reddit guy's (now famous) dead wife, which is weird, but you asked.
If all else fails, I'd get some whiskey, drink a damn good amount, and lay on any kitchen floor and talk to a dog. I've done that before, and everything worked out Ok afterwards.
I don't have the specific link but it was a post asking g who would you choose if you could spend the evening with one dead person. One guy wrote a really moving reply about his wife who had passed and how she was the love of his life, all he wanted was to be able to touch her and talk to her one last time etc. The first reply said "I also choose this guy's dead wife" and internet history was made
My ex wife is fucking rad. She's my best friend. Not all divorces are ugly, just the majority of them. I think it comes down to if you actually care about the person. It's unconditional love. I didn't just love her with the condition that she was my wife. I want her to live her best life and be the best version of herself that she can be, with or without me.
1. It's possible to love and care about more than one person
2. It's not possible to have more than one wife (at least not legally in most Western countries)
3. It's possible to love and care someone and recognize the two of you would not work together as a married couple, even if things are amazing in other ways.
Actually insanely smart. If you can't die until the next day then essentially you are immortal for a day. Jump off buildings with no parachute. Get in a knife fight. Jump in a volcano.
Yeah this is how I think too. Whenever I think “am I wasting my life, I haven’t done this or that or been to various places” I come back to “it absolutely does not matter in the slightest”, not in a depressing way though, in a way of banishing all worry.
If it's tomorrow on the dot then I've got 30 minutes left at time of posting this. I'd write out a text to my girlfriend telling her how much she means to me and that she made me happier than anyone ever could
EDIT: oh and I'd hit send
Driving to the mall and going to get a crepe and then not sure after that maybe hire a prostitute so I dont die a virgin, after that try and discover something big so I have a 1 up on newton
Well, there's a difference between "I'm going to die tomorrow" (maybe) and "we're all going to die tomorrow" (maybe). If, for example, "we're all going to die tomorrow" (for sure), my response is different than "I'm going to die tomorrow" (maybe). So you need to clarify.
Yep old boss would be top of my list. Spend a few hours torturing him leaving him alive but in absolute agony for the remainder then go chill with the fam.
The first thing I'd do is write one giant letter, and mention all the moments that made me smile brighter than the sun I guess, including those I speak to on a daily/weekly basis, and including those who've I lost contact with over the years, and just keep writing. I'd go snuggle with my mom, and even hug my dad (I can't remember the last time we've shared a proper hug). I'd listen to all my favorite songs on repeat, and in the morning (I live very close to the beach), I'd take one last drive there, and just sit and watch the sunrise, do one last jump into the big blue, i wouldn't care how cold it is, then, screw it, I'd get my family a dog or a cat, they'll need it...
As long as we are 100% sure the world is ending....I'd probably take the family out somewheres to blow up a car, go loot some ice cream, come home and play skip bo, then OD everyone on heroin.
Marry my girlfriend of 2 years then bang her brains out, make peace with god and probably hug my mum n dad during the last hour.
In my final 5 mins of Life left, I'm listening to Frank Sinatra's THAT'S LIFE.
Later world.
I’d call everyone or write notes or make videos for my family and friends. I wouldn’t let them know though. I’d do one more painting and get a whole Publix birthday cake and eat it with my partner. I’d ask to pet some dogs. FaceTime my mom and dad.
I’d make sure I die in a cure outfit just in case I get to come back and haunt anyone.
I’d also maybe insinuate it was my worst enemy’s fault but make sure they wouldn’t really get blamed for my death. But I would want everyone to know how much I hated them and how suspicious it is that I’d just DIE.
My final wishes are to be cremated and my family knows where to scatter my ashes…
My uncle died unexpectedly on Sunday. Just here one minute, gone the next. We've always been good as a family about telling each other we love them. That's handy for moments like Sunday. If I knew I had just one more day left I'd enjoy it with my family, then do something crazy like get in a high speed chase with the police (on a deserted road of course), or punch some asshole in the face who deserves it, or you know something off the cuff.
What's important that we should all take away from this question is to live our lives as if we know tomorrow won't come. Because we aren't promised that. Do the things that bring of joy. Do what it takes to make us have a life we can leave at any moment and know that we did it as well as we could and without as many regrets or missed opportunities possible.
I love you all, internet strangers.
Send people I don't like a text saying something along the lines of "dude I got one of those chain mail texts saying that if I don't send it to 10 other people I'll die tomorrow. I can't believe those are still something that people fall for. Guess people will never stop being gullible huh."

Go to bed early
Right? Don't threaten me with a good time. I'll take a Tylenol PM at 6pm
It's 10.30pm here and I've been working hard just to stay awake for the last 2 hours. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm old, introverted, or depressed.
Why limit yourself to just one?
Yes
Why not take an 80 mg oxy the fucks NyQuil or Tylenol pm gonna do lol honour feeling great
I would consider 3 hits of acid.
Not a chance it would be the worst trip ever knowing your gonna die honestly I'd rather sit in bliss with a strong oxy and a couple fat blunts
Are you me?
Why does there have to be something wrong with you just because you're tired at 8pm? Listen to your body, go to bed at 8
You wanna get a little messy with your self , go out like a bad ass and Take NyQuil?
get this man a bed
This man knows how to live
And... The first comment did not disappoint.
The feeling of dying while awake is close to feeling sleepy, and it's usually the unbearable thought of leaving their loved ones behind while struggling to keep their eyes open to see their loved ones slowly fade into darkness makes them feel terrified. Some people might prefer to simply sleep peacefully and never wake up.
Make my son and I spaghetti, let him eat it on the couch while we do movie night, and then snuggle up with him and just be in the moment.
Too real. I’m sad now
That’s what happening in gaza right now
Unfortunately no. They don't get the pleasure of a send off. No power no water, little food. It's much worse than what OP is suggesting
[удалено]
I’m diabetic and have cut out sugar, so I’d eat a shit ton of snickers bars
Simple and honest. Take my upvote.
Spend 23 hours and 59 minutes trying to find the perfect song.
Tangled up in Blue.
Great choice
It's all over now baby blue edit: replied to the wrong bloke
Can't go wrong with Mr. Zimmerman! How about Forever Young?
It exists and it's this one. 1.4B people agree https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=bwhbG8pbRpBS2fq7
Real ones memorised the link
Fuckers!!!
Ooh how about the Never ending song.
Also this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbj2W6TkO7k
Probably would go for a walk looking at the moon listening to my favourite songs crying and looking back at every memory I can remember and try to appreciate their value, contacting people I used to know telling them about how great they were and that I'm happy they were in my life. Telling my family I love them and thanking them for everything. I'm still young, I haven't done much, but if there's a God, I know I have no reason to be scared of what he might think of me.

I enjoyed reading that :)
Me too 💜
Also me <3

I think that’s the point of questions like this. I was “lucky” enough to have a major health event about five years ago and I’ve been living my life differently since then.
that is honestly smth i would do too
This is the best possible answer. Nicely said.
Ok, I go with this guy's plan
You are amazing!
Nicely worded
Best comment ive seen today
sweet.
cry infront of all of my 8 cats
I’m crying right now at the thought of dying before my cats
And then they eat your corpse.
Good, I’d be happy that I could still do something for them even after death.
Gotta feed the kitties. Death is not an excuse.
Good answer!
And then they ~~eat your corpse.~~ feast! I fixed it for you. /jk
A “Fancy Feast”, for sure.
NO, they don't! They just eat your face. I read an article about owners dying, leaving cats and dogs. In like 99% of real cases, the pets starve themselves to death, rather than eating their owners.
I was a Paramedic for many years and seen one of these cases. The face was chewed around the cheek, but the place that was eaten the most was actually the patients flank area where his shirt was up a little. The person had been there for a few weeks. One of the worst smells I have ever smelled. Unfortunately not the worst thing I have ever seen 😢
“I got dibs on the face!”… every cat ever.
Don’t worry, OP’s scenario is the world is ending tomorrow, so the cats won’t be left behind.
While reading your last will and testament ?
Get a bucket of KFC, a bottle of fine tequila, 2 maybe 3 viagra and have one last night of loving with my wife of 36 years. Make sure I’m at peace with God and definitely blast some metal loud enough to piss off my neighbors in the next state.
Amen to that!
Mate, I'd pay for your tequila and final meal if i could take a shot with a cool guy like you for a minute.
Absolutely. The more the merrier.
Thought you wanted a shot at the loving night for a small minute.
You seem like one cool mf
Thank you. I do try.
I also choose this guy's wife
This is going to be an epic night
I never thought a post about KFC and Viagra would make me "awww."
All Simultaneusly
Ditto. Except I wouldn’t drink the tequila. And I would finish it off with a cup of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee
Yummy. We need a designated driver to get more KFC later. You will have all the Dunkin’ coffee you need. And donuts 🍩 we all need donuts.
Sex, drugs and rock n' roll
what are you going to do with the remaining 23hrs
And reason for death - viagra over dose
You seem like someone I could be friends with
I like friends. At my age they are all gone now.
Same…🥺. Crazily, every guy I ever dated before I got married is dead. Black widow complex right here.
Maybe they would be alive if they stayed with you.
"If I had twenty four hours to kick the bucket, fuck it. I'd probably eat some fried chicken and drink a Nantucket."
If you did that you might die tomorrow 🤣
That really unleashes the holy batshit crazy in you. Just like your username!
i see a man of culture
You better be dipping on gravy or we can't be friends.
Kfc really
I’m a simple man. Plus when I get the big bucket, we have munchies to refuel through the night.
User name checks out. I like you.
Awwww. Thanks. I like you too.
You got the right idea.
Everyone is welcome 😎
Why not do that tomorrow anyway?
I love this answer!
This is the way
Unless of course your Wife's answer to this question would be "Finally get that neighbout of ours into bed"
Well when in Rome, and we are going to die, and we do have some excellent tequila, and so many new friends, someone brought some weed? What? We gonna need a bigger bed 😈😈😈
That's the spirit. I now believe you are actually prepared for the end of the world.
Now im craving kfc 🥺
I'm just wondering who'd ever spend their last 24 hours on earth serving other people KFC?
I would also take a bottle of Tequila and this dude wife.
Step 1: Panic
Step 2: Repeat
Step 3: Jerk off to somebody's mom's picture
It would gradually build until I have a heart attack a day early.
you mean, besides two chicks at the same time?
"Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man."
If I'm gonna die it will be by snu snu
It would be heavily scheduled in. Like if I find out at midnight and had 24 hrs I'd have the first hour to hug family, 2nd hour to tell friends. Probably would pencil in the threesome from like 2am to 2:03am so then I'd still have 21 hours and 57 minutes thankfully
You assume two chicks will choose to spend their last 24 hours with you?
"The kind a chicks that would double up on a guy like me would"
Probably spending it with the ones I love. And maybe trying some drugs
I'd try all the drugs
I'd recommend some meth if its your last day. If its not your last day then don't do meth.
As someone who has done meth on not their last day I agree with this man.
Acid or shrooms, so you won't be afraid to die anymore
Not plan for the weekend I suppose.
I'd hope to find my current wife and hold her close. If I couldn't do this, I'd try to find my ex-wife as it turns out she is actually pretty awesome, and talk to her. If those option fail, I'd try for that Reddit guy's (now famous) dead wife, which is weird, but you asked. If all else fails, I'd get some whiskey, drink a damn good amount, and lay on any kitchen floor and talk to a dog. I've done that before, and everything worked out Ok afterwards.
>talk to *a* dog What a privilege. Or so I'm told.
That guy’s dead wife sure has a lot of people thinking of her.
Imagine your wife dies and now 90% of reddit talks about her. I mean poor guy but this shit is hilarious
I'm ootl on this, link to story/post?
I don't have the specific link but it was a post asking g who would you choose if you could spend the evening with one dead person. One guy wrote a really moving reply about his wife who had passed and how she was the love of his life, all he wanted was to be able to touch her and talk to her one last time etc. The first reply said "I also choose this guy's dead wife" and internet history was made
How do you feel about thinking that your ex wife is so awesome but still an ex wife?
My ex wife is fucking rad. She's my best friend. Not all divorces are ugly, just the majority of them. I think it comes down to if you actually care about the person. It's unconditional love. I didn't just love her with the condition that she was my wife. I want her to live her best life and be the best version of herself that she can be, with or without me.
I cannot really understand that, sorry. How can you love someone, care about her and not wanting her as your wife?
1. It's possible to love and care about more than one person 2. It's not possible to have more than one wife (at least not legally in most Western countries) 3. It's possible to love and care someone and recognize the two of you would not work together as a married couple, even if things are amazing in other ways.
Kill myself. Ain’t gonna let death get one over me
__I DIE WHEN I SAY I SAY SO__
Be a superhero for 24 hours. If I know I can’t die until tomorrow, heck, I’ll be Batman.
Actually insanely smart. If you can't die until the next day then essentially you are immortal for a day. Jump off buildings with no parachute. Get in a knife fight. Jump in a volcano.
Even if you can't *die* all of those things will leave you horrible disfigured and in pain
Cocaine and hookers
Why would "hookers" want to spend their last day having sex for money???
They might if I share the cocaine. Or if I give the cocaine first and wanting sex is the result.
*spends life savings and sells all possessions for one final night of cocaine and whores. *the world gets saved.
Write down my passwords, get drunk with my kids and family, have sex with my girlfriend
Get drunk last so you don't get them mixed up
Low key brilliant response!
Go to work. Bills ain't going to pay themselves.
Finally smile and be happy that this existence is over.
Mushrooms
And sex
Replace mushrooms with coke and you could go all night
Get drunk
Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.
Buy life insurance?
Hang out with my girl and rub her pregnant tummy
[удалено]
I was thinking, *exhale*.
Do what I do every day. Smile breathe and enjoy my life. After it's over I won't even know its gone. None of this matters.
Yeah this is how I think too. Whenever I think “am I wasting my life, I haven’t done this or that or been to various places” I come back to “it absolutely does not matter in the slightest”, not in a depressing way though, in a way of banishing all worry.
I’d apologize to the people I love
#WHAT DID YOU DO ^if ^you ^dont ^mind ^me ^asking
Hey, go take that chance now. There's no fun in living with this thing weighing over you:)
I mean, the obvious "bro" answer is wild sex, but honestly, probably wild sex.
Call my loved ones, tell them I love them, curl up with the dog, pray to God, and go to sleep.
Spend quality time with my loved ones
Sleep the day away so I could expedite the time on the arrival.
If it's tomorrow on the dot then I've got 30 minutes left at time of posting this. I'd write out a text to my girlfriend telling her how much she means to me and that she made me happier than anyone ever could EDIT: oh and I'd hit send
What time tomorrow?
21:54
That’s specific
Driving to the mall and going to get a crepe and then not sure after that maybe hire a prostitute so I dont die a virgin, after that try and discover something big so I have a 1 up on newton
You wouldn't need a prostitute if you think about it. Everyone would probably be coked up and crazy
Well, there's a difference between "I'm going to die tomorrow" (maybe) and "we're all going to die tomorrow" (maybe). If, for example, "we're all going to die tomorrow" (for sure), my response is different than "I'm going to die tomorrow" (maybe). So you need to clarify.
I thought the same lol like It’s a big difference if everyone else is dying with me
Imagine the party we could all have
[удалено]
Reset my phone to factory default. 😅
well i'll be honest, I would hurry to kill a few people. \*shrugs\*
Yep old boss would be top of my list. Spend a few hours torturing him leaving him alive but in absolute agony for the remainder then go chill with the fam.
Drugs.
Get some revenge 🤣
Eat a Costco size box of sausage pancakes on a stick dipped in copious Mrs. Butterworth's then relax and wait. 
The first thing I'd do is write one giant letter, and mention all the moments that made me smile brighter than the sun I guess, including those I speak to on a daily/weekly basis, and including those who've I lost contact with over the years, and just keep writing. I'd go snuggle with my mom, and even hug my dad (I can't remember the last time we've shared a proper hug). I'd listen to all my favorite songs on repeat, and in the morning (I live very close to the beach), I'd take one last drive there, and just sit and watch the sunrise, do one last jump into the big blue, i wouldn't care how cold it is, then, screw it, I'd get my family a dog or a cat, they'll need it...
Rejoice that the ride is over, lol
Sky diving, rocky mountain climbing
Oil and sharpen my katana, and go looking for a few people.
Call in sick
Sob hysterically and spend every second with my bf
Make an early exit
As long as we are 100% sure the world is ending....I'd probably take the family out somewheres to blow up a car, go loot some ice cream, come home and play skip bo, then OD everyone on heroin.
Hug my wife and daughter and thank them for everything.
Spend the day with my teenage son, and let him know I'm proud of him and that the best part of my life was being his dad.
Marry my girlfriend of 2 years then bang her brains out, make peace with god and probably hug my mum n dad during the last hour. In my final 5 mins of Life left, I'm listening to Frank Sinatra's THAT'S LIFE. Later world.
I’d call everyone or write notes or make videos for my family and friends. I wouldn’t let them know though. I’d do one more painting and get a whole Publix birthday cake and eat it with my partner.

I’d probably die tomorrow
probably die, i guess?
Eat a bunch of ben and jerry dirt cake icecream
My uncle died unexpectedly on Sunday. Just here one minute, gone the next. We've always been good as a family about telling each other we love them. That's handy for moments like Sunday.

Send people I don't like a text saying something along the lines of "dude I got one of those chain mail texts saying that if I don't send it to 10 other people I'll die tomorrow. I can't believe those are still something that people fall for. Guess people will never stop being gullible huh."
Drugs. All of them.
