Prove him wrong and drive my motorcycle into a highway median at top speed 5 minutes later. I’ll be god dammed if I’m gonna let some doctor think he got the better of me.
If you survive that, at least you only have 31 days left to live.
Good thing “try locked-in syndrome” was last on my bucket list.
Don’t think it would be possible to be second to last or any other really
You became death locked the second he said it. You have just become immortal for a month.
If “I’m dying in 31 days” doesn’t work as a pickup line, then fuck my life anyways.
Probably play some Shotgun Mario and Luigi…
Same.
Easy … have a big fat funeral for myself, hand off everything I own to the people I had willed everything to. Tell them thanks. Say goodbye to everyone and leave myself about $1,000. Go off to my parents hunt camp and traditional lands and live out there by myself until the 31 days are over.
I’ve travelled the world, saw many things, did many things, had a great time but now I’m old and sore all the time and I can’t run around as fast or as much any more. I just like sitting, relaxing and enjoying some peace and quiet.
If someone told me I had a month, I want to just spend those last 30 days as quietly as possible looking at trees, water and being around absolutely no one.
That sounds like a nice way to spend it.
Play Super Mario Bros as the second player for 31 days straight.
Mario Party is a game where everyone participate.
Just saying.
I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
31 days of perfect health and then drop dead? Or 31 days of slow, debilitating, crushing agony and pain and then death? I just lost my best friend to perotineal cancer, from diagnosis to her passing was 97 days. She made plans to travel with her daughter, spend time with friends, write a will, etc. but she ended up spending a majority of that time in the hospital on heavy duty narcotics and offer her nut because of them. I don’t think anyone would plan on spending their last 31 days like that but it’s more realistic.
Tldr: do the things you would do with news like this now… Don’t wait until it might be impossible.
Sign up for all of the one-month free trials.
Get into the plumbing business
Get another opinion.
Second opinion: “That other doctor had the month wrong, you only have 28 days to live”
It’s a great thought experiment to get us to think about what is truly important -
No one is going to answer “work more” or “continue to conform to other’s expectations of me.” or any other thing that we are taught to believe are important.
Sure having some savings is important, your health is important (except maybe not so much in this instance), but really life is about experiencing life not creating shareholder value or working hard to blend into the crowd just to make other people less uncomfortable.
I know I went off on a tangent, I do that often. But I’ve been thinking more about how in the west we are taught aggressively from a young age what is deemed important (work, money, prestige, name brand things, etc) and what is frivolous (hobbies, family, friends, etc) and then people wonder why life sucks. It doesn’t suck, it’s that you are trying to conform to something that goes against your true nature.
To answer the question: travel, spend time with people I love, play video games, eat more cheeseburgers, drink more beer.
Ask my wife to take the month off, or quit her job, then spend 25 days doing whatever she wants. The last week we can spend with my family.
Quit my jobs.
Give my money to loved ones.
Max out my credit cards.
All the drugs. all
Finish stalker 2
Play space engineers and valheim with what time i have left.
I’m afraid what you heard me say is, “a lot of drugs”. What I said is, “all the drugs”.-
Wouldn’t be too bad all things considered, all signs point to Silksong releasing on the 14th, so I’ll have a couple weeks to play it
The 14th of… 2036? 2175? Octembuary?
What signs?
First stop: Arby’s. I’m going to die anyways.
- Set up my will.
- Dispose of the accumulated cruft.
- Get the house ready to sell.
- Document all my accounts.
- Move money as appropriate.
- Provide for preservation/distribution of my genealogy research.
- Work to prepare my friends and family for life without me.
