You have just a few days to live. What do you do?

Post Reply New Topic

You have just a few days to live. What do you do with your remaining time, to make the world a little better? To make people understand things you failed to communicate already? Is there anything you can say, any message you can leave behind, to make a difference?

I haven't managed to get people to care about anything I've said. Not sure they believe me or care. Should I keep trying or should I not spend my remaining days trying?

What would you do in your final days?

Initiate personality download and decantation process for my next clone.  By the time this body de-animates, the next one will have already established himself as me.  Cremation and interment of this body would then proceed quietly.

"Oh where was I the last week or so? Getting some much-needed rest and a little 'work' done . . . a nip here, a tuck there . . . you know the routine . . . never felt better!"

Your worries about making the world better make me feel incredibly hedonistic.
I have never thought about it, but I imagine I would just be busy enjoying myself as much as I can. Okay, now that I'm thinking about it that's probably an unrealistic fantasy. I would instead fall into deep dispair over not knowing how my dog could survive without me.

Depends on my state.


I could just say my good byes, forgive and connect everyone before leaving, do something good or something I don't usually do.

I could just laze around, do nothing and wait. Maybe sleep all day or stare at the phone.

I could be very excited, consume everything, write everything I know, make a lot of noise in one sitting and so forth.

I could be just as reckless as I could possibly could and do my worst -- lie, commit crimes, break every rules under the sun, etc.

I could just leave quietly, disappear, wander about without letting anyone know.

Heck, I could just cut the eventuality and just get over it.


Or even...
All of the above!

If I had a few months, I would have time for the world. A few weeks, I would travel. A few days, I would be with friends and family, hug a lot, eat well and finishing one of my cross-stitching projects.

It depends...

If the "end" is my personal end then I would probably revisit my personal affairs to make sure my assets benefited my bride and other relatives. I'd have a tough time figuring out which videos from our collection to watch. And I think I could eat a lot of desserts with a clean conscience.

If the "end" is global then see above...but ignore worrying about the paperwork.

I don't think I would do anything as there wouldn't be much point. The idea of doing something for the last time isn't a comfort, its quite the opposite.

I have no progeny to worry about, and my "estate" such as it is, is already going to be disposed of according to the terms of my will. so there really aren't any "loose ends" to take care of. I don't even think a special final meal would be much comfort if I knew for absolutely certain when my end would be.

Put the bins out?

I'd text my kids and try to get them all here for spaghetti and game night; maybe make some margaritas and play cards against humanity because we're all degenerates like that. I'd have my grandson over at one point, build some forts and play with some stuffed foxes. I'd make the dog a steak dinner and run him around by the river. Probably call the fwb for one last hoorah. I think that's about it. I might laugh at all my unpaid medical bills that can no longer stress me out.

Most likely I would not tell a soul with the exception of a single trusted associate, who would be left my last thoughts for those I care about (and some for those that I don't care about). I would want to spend that time with my daughter, probably binge watching Rick and Morty and some favourite trash movies like The Middle Finger and The VelociPastor.

Go on a 12 week diet

Those of us with families would have to get our affairs in order.
