I would give my money, which isn't much, to my family straight away.

I would spend my last day with them, leave some nice messages to friends (the ones I care for like family are just too far away).

I would cancel all my clients

I think that's it

@jackpot @asklemmy I'd just do what I normally do but make sure to leave behind a detailed list of what to do with my weebshit when gone.

...its going to be weird dying at work...

Spend every minute of every second with my son and the people I love. This is like taking a cruise where you're never coming back but with the knowledge of when the cruise is leaving. That would be amazing.

I would probably die

Celebrate, make sure there’s some legal framework for all my stuff to go to my younger brothers and then probably drink/smoke/do whatever drugs I can find to make the last few hours as nice as possible.

I lost the will to keep fighting a long time ago. I’m not actively hoping for death, but it’s not something I’d be unhappy about encountering.

I'd try to figure out a way to stop it from happening.

[–] HappySerf@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably the most realistic answer...
Now I'm going to go watch Crank. Again.

Get a second opinion.

[–] teydam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Play bladurs gate and continue on as normal. Maybe drink something nice, listen to my favorite song. It's not me I care about it's my partner who would be left wondering and without an income

IM GONNA POOOOOOST

steal someone’s credit card and go buy a bunch of weed (it’s legal here). after also eating a great meal, I’d go get high in Central Park and just walk around, enjoying the views until I died.

the person would report the card stolen and get the (relatively small) charges stricken/refunded, so I’m not worried about the ethics of that.

[–] Screwthehole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you have to steal a credit card to do this?

[–] bauhaus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

because I am poor

Carry on spending the weekend in peace. My gf and i had some amazing sex when we woke up this morning, went to the farmer's market, went to some cute shops, did cute gay stuff like holding hands while we walked all around our city. I'm content, for the first time in my life. Dying now wouldn't be so bad.

Finally start smoking pipe tobacco. I've been putting it off as I'm sure it will give me mouth cancer.

I've prepared for this scenario. I have my own two minute speech prepared.

There are a lot of old friends I don’t keep up with aside from major events because, life. I’d call them and tell them I love them because this would be a pretty major event. I’d like to see a few of them too but would prioritize finding ways to laugh and have fun with my family and immediate family.

[–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

i don't know, probably go say thanks to my parents. take my dog on a really long walk with lots of play time.

[–] marron12@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, probably not too much. Eat some of my favorite foods, write letters to people I care about, listen to my favorite music. Hopefully be able to enjoy nature one last time. And maybe ingest some mind-altering substances.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That would bigly suck because my girlfriend just travelled across the world
