    Lmao.

    Apparently people have actually been killed by car washes before though (just did a quick google search)... I guess that's a pretty unfortunate way to go out lol.

    Dying in a car crash would I glanced at this and thought it said, "dying in a car wash," I started to laugh but then I reread it.

    I'm worried it'll happen sooner than I want it too. But if I could I would go out by having sex in a tornado.

  • I guess not so much now,and I would like to die maybe by doing something heroic,so I will be remembered by my good deeds for a long time.

  • The concept of death freaks me out and Its kinda fucking scary thinking about what happens after death. If I had to kick the bucket I would like to go without knowing I died...I don't know.

  • i'd rather die asleep than being conscious.

  • I'm more scared about what would happen after death than death itself.

  • It would paint the car red.

  • I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only 16 and I've already lived a pretty kickass life. I would just like to die doing something Life threatening to save someone, and Just before I die from that fatal wound, I would walk into the sunset down a road with my dog. They'd find my body 2 days later. But no one would know how i died.

  • I want the universe to end with me. I know this is going to sound crazy but if I die I want to be the last to do so and when that happens I want everything in existence to vanish with me. I'm never going out like a bitch

  • Why am I not surprised to find you commenting in this thread?

    I'm wondering why you don't look forward to dying, though (not to say you should be suicidal or something). What I mean is, considering people, on average, are going to live about 90 years, that's more than enough time to become really good at at least half a dozen things, so by the time you die it's entirely possible to have accomplished much and affected a good part of the world somehow.

    Perhaps chances are higher that you'll slip in the bath and break your neck, but knowing that life will go on after you die seems to me to be motivation to do something worth remembering, so on your death bed (if you get one) you can know you did enough and it won't feel so "unfortunate".

    No, I'm not really worried. I look at death as an unfortunate inevitability. I don't look forward to it, obviously. I don't believe in any k

  • I'm not worried, as that's quite out of my control (thank you, Stoicism).

    I also wouldn't like to be in a position to "like to die", either, as that would probably mean I have some terminal illness and have strongly considered visiting the Dignitas House in Switzerland. But if that does happen, I would very much prefer to die by my own choice, and not let someone else force me to drag out prolonged suffering, unless I agreed beforehand based on good scienctific evidence that it'd actually be worth it.

    With that in mind, and whatever happens in my future, the best defense against dying miserably is to affect the world in such a way that it's very hard for time to forget you were here in a positive way. As Dave Chappelle noted, "You can become famous, or infamous, but not unfamous".

  • Are you worried about your own death?

    Nope, i been around death my entire life.

    How would you like to die ?

    By myself.

  • I am not afraid of death. I am more afraid of how my family would handle my passing and how I am no longer there for them.

  • i'm not really worried about death its one of those things that we can do nothing about and the more i think about it the more i worry...like im starting to right now...well fuck.

    id like my death to be quick

  • you should be worried about being alive!

    Question: Are you worried about your own death?

    Answer : "Death is like the wind; always by my side." don't be afraid of unknown, I'm eternum

     

    Question: How would you like to die ?

    Answer: Why some one would like to die? probably stabbed from back the penetrate through my belly then the sword that cut me until reach my sternum while I'm in the air and bleeding, the sword is pulled out and I fall to the ground while last drop tear is coming from the eyes.

  • It comes and goes, but honestly I'm terrified at the notion. It's stupid but I was watching a playthrough of Corpse Party, and the idea of sitting there and rotting away, knowing how it works terrified me. Same thing happened when I was watching a documentary on ancient China, they were excavating graves and just to think of all the people who have lived and died on this Earth, that those people were people like me and now it is all over, it terrifies me. I'm also horrified that the people I know and love will die, and, paradoxically, I am blessed to be one of the few people to have had the chance to meet and love them.

    Maybe it's because I think about dying a lot, and that might be part why I'm so scared, but in one of my moods I was reading the wikipedia page on decomposition, the idea that my corpse is going to bloat up with gas, before eventually leaking out and blighting the nearby grass. My biggest fear is that I'm going to die, and nobody will know until I'm at that state and the neighbors call the police because of the smell. There was a woman in the UK who was died, and since her pension went automatically to rent the police didn't find her body until she had been dead for three years.

    I'm not sure how to respond to this, even.

    I'm wondering why you don't look forward to dying, though (not to say you should be suicidal or something). What I mean is, considering people, on average, are going to live about 90 years, that's more than enough time to become really good at at least half a dozen things, so by the time you die it's entirely possible to have accomplished much and affected a good part of the world somehow.

    I don't expect myself to live for 90 years. And it's not really about being remembered by others (because they won't), I wouldn't care, either way, if I die, as my memory will be gone along with my dead brain. Leaving a mark in the world/history is but a vain dream for me and not something I expect to accomplish.

    Perhaps chances are higher that you'll slip in the bath and break your neck, but knowing that life will go on after you die seems to me to be motivation to do something worth remembering, so on your death bed (if you get one) you can know you did enough and it won't feel so "unfortunate".

    I called it "unfortunate" because the end of life is, most of the time, unfortunate. Knowing that life will go on would hardly give me any comfort on my deathbed. I might sound selfish, but, believe me, I'm really not, trying not to be, at least. It's going back to "my memory will be gone along with my dead brain".

  • No no no. That's impossible. I. I can't... die. That's stupid. No way. Heroes don't die. Especially not before the story gets to the good part.

  • so where is the hero?

  • I try and comfort myself thinking theres another side. I'm not super religious but I really do believe in another side. Hey if science can't dissaprove its existence, no reason to not believe.

    This is a very good question.

    I am an agnostic theist (thiest, not atheist) and still in my teen years and thus rarely ponder on the possibility of death.

    I am afraid of death for I know not what happens after. Then again, we fear what we do not understand, and death constitutes as something I do not understand.

    As for how I would like to die, I wish to die in my mid eighties. As much as living to be a century old or more is a novel experience, what merit does it have when you can do little more than eat, drink, sleep, deficate and urinate?

    life is an STI with a 100% fatality rate.

  • Good to hear things are turning out well for you.

  • I've thought about my death and death in general for far too long to believe I don't fear it. Life is the devil I know. I would like to die rather quickly and as wholly as possible. I assume if I live long enough to still have love ones they would want to see me in an open casket.

  • I'm more worried about living.

  • edited April 2015

    I used to be, but I think I would rather take it now.

  • No offense but you kind of deserved it.

  • It's an inevitability, and as an inevitability, we all must go through it.

    I think people are scarred of something they can't only not control but are also very fearful of the fact that since there's no real understanding of it as a concept, it means everyone's ignorant to death. You only experience it once and you can't tell anyone after how it was.

    Personally, I don't fear it because it's a waste. Most likely once you die, your understanding and subconscious will also be cut leaving only a body without a soul (if you believe in such a thing). So why worry?

    Not the cheerful response I'm sure a lot of you would expect. But death is just that, there's no point of comparison cause there's nothing else even remotely like it.

    1. only worry about what I will have done in the time before I die. You're born, go to school, maybe go to college,or not, then social welfare or a job, and if it's a job, then it's promotions, retire, and so on... Of course there is a lot of fun in between, playing games, relationships, traveling and whatever you're interested in... all of that is actually quite mundane, or standard, and yet it is what many people dream about.
      Some people have said here that they fear not fulfilling their dreams. It is not a fear of death, it is a fear of feeling like one did not strive in life. It is more a fear of life, or lack of! I want to make the most of it, and sometimes the perfect moment, life at it's best, is just sitting in by myself, few cans of beer and a nice telltale episode to play. That is when I love life, and I love it more because I know that I will die...
      (At a point in 'Life is Strange', strongly recommend it to anyone here, the protagonist is looking out the window,(i think) and says something like "I wish this moment could last forever", then realizing that she can make it last forever by rewinding time, she says "but then it wouldn't be a moment".) Sums up what I mean!

    2. I would like to die knowing that I helped create some of these moments for other people, moments where people are aware of living and being alive, and love life. I could die satisfied if that was the case.
