    “In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden’s mouth around my cock, at the age of eighty.”

    Obviously the ideal is to die under suspicious circumstances in a large house with many rooms and secret passages, a variety of potential murder weapons, and several mutually distrustful colorful characters.

    Had a heart attack recently… while waiting for surgery, asleep, they tell me my heart stopped for eight seconds.

    No clue. Woke up in the morning like usual, browsing my phone when they come in and tell me.

    Hopefully just like that.

      My dad died this exact same way and while doctors kept saying he didn’t suffer at all because it was so quick I just thought they were being reassuring since I guess that is what they are supossed to say.

      Your comment helps me to make the burden of his passing a bit lighter. Thank you.

    I should die due to my own negligence, playing fast and loose with custom firmware for my cyber heart at the age of 300.

      Entropy reaching 1.0 will take a really long time. You sure you wanna be hanging around for several quadrillion years given cosmological inflation? That’s a whole lotta nothing for a whole lotta time…

        I dunno about the guy you responded to, but speaking for myself, that might actually give me enough time to play through my Steam backlog.

    Peacefully in my sleep, like the guy in the joke, and not like the passengers of his car.

    At an old age peacefully after having a satisfying life

    Preferably before neurological decline sets in as I’d prefer to not go like I’ve seen so many others go; forgetting the faces of their loved ones

    I’d also hope that I will have left happy memories with those that would remember me after I’ve passed. Stories they’d love to tell people. Stories their grandkids would love to hear.

        I used to know a man who made it to 107

        He was fully coherent until the end

        He passed away on his own terms after his doctor told him his cancer was back in full swing and more aggressive than before.

        I still miss that old man telling his stories about growing up and then raising kids during the Great Depression. Or him talking about his older brother passing away during The Great War (WWI). Or talking about watching the moon landing with his grandkids. Or one of my favorite stories of him: how him and I used to race to the rhubarb and gooseberry pies at the restaurant I worked at.

        His wake after he passed had literally hundreds of people. He impacted so many peoples lives in a positive way.

        Stick around for awhile, you may make it longer than you think. And even in old age you may meet people who you have a massive impact on their lives.

    As peacefully and painlessly as possible. Preferably as little inconvenience to others as well. I hope to have all my affairs well in order and they better not pay money to put me in a box in the ground. I’ve told every family member I can. Donate what you can to others if possible and donate the rest to science for some med students to get practice.
