The way the world is going, it could be anything from starvation this decade to the eventual heat death of the universe.
I don't expect heart disease will be the death sentence it is now in a few decades, barring a local or global collapse of civilisation.
Heart attack, stroke, blood clot, or bleeding out. Being on blood thinners, I'd say those are probably likely things that will kill me.
- Heart attack
- Liver disease
- russian bomb attack.
In no any particular order.
There's a history of heart conditions on my dad's side so probably that.
Most probably heart or vascular related ilness.
Old age in my sleep. Most people in my family have lived to be in their 90's!
to much shit and piss
Heart attack easy. Runs in the family
Some clumsy act on my part spirals out of control like a final destination. All because I'm clumsy.
Thankfully for me, suicide are far down my list. I hope. Going to a professional to get my headspace sorted is definitely worth it. It would be no. 1, 3 years ago.
I'd rate heart attack as most likely, and other blood circulation related disease. Any obesity related affliction too. Cancer is in there somewhere high since I have family members with some kind of cancer.
Heart Attack or suicide. My mother and her father died from heart issues, not late in their lives.
Hate crime.
Killed in 2050 by my own housework robot, which has been hacked by chinese criminals, in a failed attempt to steal all my pixel coins.
Me and my life choices.
Butt too small
Whenever the government decides they want to try to send me to El Salvador.
an accident cancer suicide
Organ rejection/degradation probably
Either cancer or car accident.
Old age 🙏
some preventable illness that was accelerated or induced by stress.
Like most autistic people.
Probably heart attack.
I'm physically active and in good shape, but it's genetic.
- Cancer
- Stroke
- Aneurism
Suicide shows up far too often. Y'all need help!
TBF a lot of people who are bed-ridden by any of your three answers have a higher frequency of ending it from an OD of their pain meds, especially if they're terminal.
Psst. The group most likely to kill themselves has little to no advocacy. Go see!
Choking on my own spit - coughing until I break a rib or a blood vessel
lol I’ve done both, neither of those things will kill you
Based on trending, me too.
Also, terminal 'mild cough'.
If i get the chance to retire then it will be of old age.
Unlikely to be a singular cause.
My extreme height and recreational drug use will likely factor in.
A combination of health issues stemming from poor diet and sedentary lifestyle.
Your saliva contains microscopic amounts of toxins. As you swallow, these toxins collect in your body, and eventually they'll reach critical mass and kill you. The amount of toxins in your saliva, and the total amount required to kill you is very individual, so nobody knows which will be their last drop. Still, one day I'll swallow my last bit of saliva and die.
Unfortunately mom & her mom got dementia, so unless something comes along earlier to kill me, or unless we get a good preventative, that is more likely my fate.
No, they weren't overweight or smokers or physically idle, my mom was a professor and kept lifelong friends, really no lifestyle risk factors. Of course that's only on the one side of my family, my dad died of heart condition that I don't have and I'm not sure about his parents.
One of my favorite professors was giving a class to me and other 200 about algorithms in a huge room. Suddenly he stops and drops “y’know, statistically speaking, 2/3 of this room will die of cancer”. So yeah, the odds are not on my side.
