How do you want to die? At what age?

I'm technically dead already. I've cut ties with nearly everyone in meatspace, except for my roommate and my coworkers.

Other than running & going to the office, I only leave the house to purchase groceries and hygiene products. If my job would let me work from home, I would.

“Needleman had always hoped to die a quiet death. ‘Amidst my books and papers like my brother Johann.’ (Needleman’s brother had suffocated under a roll top desk while searching for his rhyming dictionary.)”

Sounds fancy and manly to say you want to die at some age picked out of thin air. Nearly all of us will be fighting for that last breathe though!

The only ones I’ve known to be ready to tap out voluntarily are people 85+ who aren’t in good health. Then a few younger ones in their 50’s that were miserable people to begin with.

Perfect world, I’d be healthy until 90’s and then die instantly. The suffering for years with what you know will eventually kill you sounds like more than I’m prepared to handle.

Peacefully at any time. I wouldn’t want to know it was coming though.

staring the enemies in the eye, at close range, taking them out, but seeing the death blow coming like 30 seconds out giving that satisfaction of battling to the beautiful end.

I’m planning to be eaten by a bear on a trail on on my 100th Birthday.

I want to lay down and watch the sun set at the top of a mountain. I want to feel loved. I want to have a well earned buzz going after a long run and fall asleep.

Im not even 30 yet but would be okay if this happened tomorrow.

With an incredibly large dose of LSD at the age of 90

To quote Tyrion Lannister "In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my c@ck, at the age of eighty,"

That's cool and all but why the need to pack a backpack? If you take water, food clothes you'll just prolong the whole process. Do it right.

I don’t think the reality would be as romantic as you have made it inside your head.

Possibly if you did it when it’s really cold out so you freeze to death. But how selfish and silly.

Exactly! Unless you're "lucky" enough to have a quick death via a mountain lion attack you're going to slowly die of dehydration, while starving. It sounds Thoreauesque, but is much less romantic in reality.

I want to die when I am 80. I want to be meditating in a tuxedo t-shirt and evaporate into the ether, just like Luke Skywalker in the last Jedi.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming and shouting like all the passengers in his car

Peacefully, in my sleep aged 105 in my own bed in my own home with no nursing staff or doctors around.

At age 123, holding a certificate that says that I was the oldest person who has ever lived.

I've already voted once but I for sure don't wanna go out eaten by bear--watch that scene in Revenant. Still alive while flesh being ripped off ?

I don't want to die or age. I love my wife too much :-(

Death party, complete with meth and sex

I can't believe that guy is only 58. WTF has he done to himself?!

I will live indefinitely applying my athletic knowledge to prevent aging, in particular keeping my tendons healthy and elastic and bones strong, and joints functional, and will die only by some misfortune or other, probably past the age of 150.

You may not think this is possible now, but nobody has ever really tried it with modern science at their disposal. Rich sedentary billionaires, yes, but not people like us who know what we're doing.

99. In a spa, getting a blowy for $79.
