I'll get myself a wikipedia page 😉

A bunch of drugs and go on a murdering spree

Nutmeg is psychoactive beyond normal serving sizes. It is a deliriant. Note that it is also toxic at these levels. Question; Does delirium sound enjoyable? If you're in your right mind, the answer should be "absolutely not".

With that being said, I'd like to see hell before I'm actually there. May as well. I'd do it just before death, so the wretchedness ends early.

That's after trying every drug that'd otherwise be too risky for the long run.

Definitely convince my buddy with the second key that it's go time. 1:56, for you folks who this is new to.

Get into the plumbing business

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.

Play games, watch movies, spend time with family and split whatever money I got left with them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

"Can we speed that up a bit?"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Tropical vacation with sex, drugs, and pizza

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Probably nothing because I would waste the time thinking about what I should do.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Withdraw all of my investment money, hop on a cruise ship, and live in the lap of luxury til I'm ready to die.

Then I jump off the ship.

I’d find out what heroin feels like in the final few days. It’d be just my luck that I’d have trouble finding anything of good quality, so I’d either not get the full desired experience or I’d OD on fentanyl.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Spend at least 28 of them trying to decide what to do. Then ultimately panic because I couldn't come up with anything for the last three days.

“You got 5"

5 what?

"4 3 2 1"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Doctor says "I got bad news and even worse news. The bad news is, you have 24 hours to live"

I said "Oh my god Doc! What could be worse than that?"

Doctor comes back, "I couldn't get ahold of you yesterday!

(24 hours Joyner Lucas iirc)

I'd ask my boss for a day off.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Probably spend a lot of time with my friends. Try weed. Drink a bunch. Also just like right before I'm about to die, strip naked and start furiously masturbating, making sure to drop dead in the city center on some square where I'll be very visible :)

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Same, except I'd skip the funeral, and on the last day I'd find a remote tree and tie myself there so I could be naturally excarnated:

The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position ... strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

That sounds like a nice way to spend it.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Find another doctor because that one obviously has mental health issues.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Hopefully you can schedule an appointment quickly

spend time doing what I like to do and enjoying the company of the people I love. play games, play magic, listen to music getting high... nights in the pool, just watching the moon reflection on the water...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Feel hopeful.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

See how quickly I can drop that number to zero.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Family. That's all. Use the remainder of my money to help fulfill some bucket list items for my parents, wife, siblings, and my kids. Try to write as much as I can and record as much as I can for my kids. Impart any wisdom I possibly can.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Travel - not so extravagant to put my family in debt after I pass but I've got a decent retirement fund and I have no qualms about spending a portion of it if I'm not going to need it to support me in the long term.

I'd probably fly into someplace random in Europe and just soak up different towns by train heading wherever the fuck my ADHD brain tells me to go next. It'd be wonderful.

Also, sex it up like I'm not going to be alive in 32 days.

Edit: Oh, I'd probably make sure to get a second opinion first.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably takes two months for the first appointment from a new doctor....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not certain where you live but even here in Canada (which does have issues with wait times for procedures which are wrongly viewed as elective/unimpactful) critical medicine like Oncology triaging will happen astoundingly fast.

"That long?"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

The 14th of... 2036? 2175? Octembuary?
