What a beautiful quote.
Me too, Tyrion. Me too buddy.
I drink and I know things
Obviously the ideal is to die under suspicious circumstances in a large house with many rooms and secret passages, a variety of potential murder weapons, and several mutually distrustful colorful characters.
I like you.
That doesnt remove you from suspicion.
Curses!
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my uncle, not screaming in terror like his passengers.
Not likely though.
Had a heart attack recently... while waiting for surgery, asleep, they tell me my heart stopped for eight seconds.
No clue. Woke up in the morning like usual, browsing my phone when they come in and tell me.
Hopefully just like that.
My dad died this exact same way and while doctors kept saying he didn't suffer at all because it was so quick I just thought they were being reassuring since I guess that is what they are supossed to say.
Your comment helps me to make the burden of his passing a bit lighter. Thank you.
Death by snu snu
Well you probably starve to death lost in a giant space neandertal's vagina. Probably not as good as you think.
Soon
I should die due to my own negligence, playing fast and loose with custom firmware for my cyber heart at the age of 300.
Casualty of the heat death of the universe
Entropy reaching 1.0 will take a really long time. You sure you wanna be hanging around for several quadrillion years given cosmological inflation? That’s a whole lotta nothing for a whole lotta time…
I dunno about the guy you responded to, but speaking for myself, that might actually give me enough time to play through my Steam backlog.
Not at my own hand
We gotta dream big there amigo, stay strong!
Peacefully in my sleep, like the guy in the joke, and not like the passengers of his car.
in one-on-one combat with a God while stealing something forbidden for humanity.. if that's still a thing..
All you are going to get is tied to a rock for eternity, with an eagle feeding on your liver.
I'll never forget asking my father this question as a kid, and he answered without hesitation, "A bullet to the head." Fast-forward a few decades and that's how he went out by the firearm he carried to protect his family, causing more harm than any mugger or assailant could have caused if he was unarmed. Take care of yourself fellow lemms and dont dwell on death, focus on living a life you dont want to leave behind and keep pushing your Boulder up the hill regardless of how many times it rolls back down.
Just like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like his passengers
At age 92.
From a gunshot wound.
Fired by an outraged husband.
In my sleep in 90 years.
What about your passengers though? ;)
With the heat death of the universe in some full dive vr utopia.
in my sleep
At an old age peacefully after having a satisfying life
Preferably before neurological decline sets in as I'd prefer to not go like I've seen so many others go; forgetting the faces of their loved ones
I'd also hope that I will have left happy memories with those that would remember me after I've passed. Stories they'd love to tell people. Stories their grandkids would love to hear.
As peacefully and painlessly as possible. Preferably as little inconvenience to others as well. I hope to have all my affairs well in order and they better not pay money to put me in a box in the ground. I've told every family member I can. Donate what you can to others if possible and donate the rest to science for some med students to get practice.
Suicide before Alzheimers, on my own terms 🫡
Heroically and instantly
Battling aliens on a different planet. Is that too much to ask for?
Best I can do is battling cats in an alley
... but it's a really weird alley.
Slowly over the course of months hooked up to every device to keep me "alive" in the ICU because my shitty relatives can't let me go otherwise they won't get to steal my social security checks every month. /s
Or peacefully while watching the sunrise over a beautiful snow capped mountain rage.
As part of a destructive process of digitization.
My personal immortality testing is still in human trial but it's shown promising results so far!
Burning up during extravehicular re-entry
The gforces I aquire after miscalculating my trajectory while testing my space engine and gaining too much momentum on my slingshot off of Jupiter.
Quickly. No need to drag it out for months or years.
False vacuum decay.
No pain or suffering, no worry about it coming, just instantaneous non-existence at literally the speed of light.
The big problem is it would be all of humanity (and everything else) and not just myself.
So not actually something I hope happens, just that if I have to die...
Similar would be being at the center of a large explosion or implosion - I understand that the passengers on that one submarine likely didn't have time to experience anything.
