Old, in my sleep, after a perfect day I didn’t know was my last. Maybe I spent it eating my favorite meal, laughing with people I love, and watching the sunset one last time—no drama, no hospital bed, no existential dread. Just poof, game over, credits roll, peaceful fade to black. But realistically? Probably choking on something dumb like a gummy bear and becoming a cautionary tale on a food label.”😅
Fast and pain-free—that’s how I’d want to go. I’ve seen too many friends and family suffer for far too long, kept alive by machines, clearly in pain. It’s heartbreaking.
Carbon Monoxide hypoxia. You just fall asleep then never wake up. There’s no choking or gasping, as that’s caused by Carbon Dioxide asphyxia. Really peaceful way to go, imo.
Ideally, I’d go out right after doing something heroic—like rescuing a beautiful woman from a burning building. I’d be standing there, striking a pose, basking in the moment… then BAM, a printer falls from above and pulps my head. Instant exit, legendary story.
If the day ever comes when I feel my story is complete, I’d like to say goodbye calmly, without fear or pain. There are peaceful, dignified ways some people choose – like simply lying down and letting go. That’s how I’d want it. No struggle, just peace.
Personally I’d wanna go the way my grandfather did. At 97 years of age, he went to sleep in his bed, with my grandmother falling asleep in the chair next to him. When she woke up, he had passed. He had been ill for a while, so it was no big shock. But I love that he and my grandmother were together in his final moments, just as they had been together in everything for over 70 years.
In my sleep, at full health, aged 105, at the same time as my beloved wife, having played with my great-grand children in the garden under orange trees the day before.
I want a death by misadventure, I wanna die face down in some dudes pool. Don’t want to kick it in my teeth lying on my dentures, when I die man it’s gonna be real cool.
Don’t want to die by drugs. Don’t want to go insane, like that Pink Floyd guy Syd
I want to be in a bus that crashes into a train, just like Ozzie Osborne did.
As someone who is terrified of death, stupid I know because it’s inevitable, but I hate the idea of my last moments being a state of pure fear and suffering.
Like a plane crash? The last thing I see is people screaming, my stomach dropping and oxygen masks over everyone’s face, no. I think I’d die from pure panic rather than the impact.
I’d like to die unknowingly, quickly and hopefully when I’m at peace with death.
Asleep in bed, next to my husband. Preferably once I’ve got the house up together and in a better state so I’m not leaving hubs with lot of jobs and problems to deal with on his own.
At my most depressed and suicidal, I did extensive research about the best method for me. I’m talking many many many research papers. Read a comprehensive book about the most common methods which outlined how to do it, the pros/cons and what could go wrong. Settled on an exit bag. I still have ideation and that’s always the first thing I think about doing if I were to really go through with it.
I’d like to take a hike to the summit of Mount Washburn again and sit in the quiet for a while. Then, when I’m ready, I’ll finally know peace, and no one will ever know. I’m not sure when that’ll happen or if I’ll be ready for it anytime soon. But I have a feeling that when it does, it’ll be a major weight off of my chest.
That scene in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life where the guy is being chased off the Cliffs of Dover by topless women in sports gear and falling into his own grave below☠️ Amen.
On my hands and knees on top of a mountain in nepal in the worst storm possible blind from my own blood dripping into my eyes masking my tears, can’t breathe because I’m choking on blood and phlem begging for forgiveness to anyone and no one is calling back.

Old 😄
No torture. I don’t want the last thing I feel to be unbearable pain.
As long as it were quick I wouldn’t care atp
It doesn’t matter as long as it’s soon.

In my sleep, surrounded by cats, with a half-eaten pizza next to me. Sounds like a pretty chill way to go. No drama, no pain, just…done.

Riding an atomic bomb down to somewhere I didn’t like
After everyone I love.
Sitting, knowing that i’m about to take my last breath…
Peacefully
i’d like to commit suicide with my dad watching
mid-sentence, just to leave them wondering what I was about to say
fast and soon.
young
Skydiving without a parachute would be cool
In my sleep surrounded by loving cuddly dogs (and/or cats or any animal that felt safe and wanted to be near me) more the better
I would not

Drug Fueled Sex Heart attack
Of some illness, so I knew approximate date.
I think I’d like to die on the beach, alone with just the pretty sounds of true waves and trees!
Uh happy and fulfilled? Lol
Young
assassinated

quick, painless, old.

In my bed.
Of Natural causes.
At 3,000.
While making love at 125 years old shot in the back of my head by a jealous husband
I know how I’ll die.
When the time comes I will be ready.
Quietly in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.
After I hear the words ‘surprise’
Before the person I love( I don’t wanna see someone i unbearably love dying infront of me though I haven’t found such a person yet)
Probably bleeding to death in snow.

Quickly 🥲
Tired
Pain less than 5 secs is good death for me.
Old Irish Toast, “May you be shot in bed, at the age of 90, by a jealous husband.”
At the age of 80, in my own bed, with a belly full of wine, and a girl’s mouth around my cock.
When I’m out walking and on a high sloping hill in the middle of summer, clear sky and a gentle breeze that I can listen to as I go.
fentanyl overdose
In my sleep probably seeing as I sleep quite often
Shotgun to the d*ck

In battle with an axe or sword in my hand
Soon
Go to bed and never wake up , easy smooth and simple
I could never make up my mind so i would put all the possible ways on a wheel and spin it baby.
Magnificently.

Immediately, right now, I don’t want to live anymore. A brain aneurysm would be fine.

Aware? Dying without being aware of it seems like a grim thought. It’s a once in a lifetime experience after all.
A sudden death unaware of the fact that I died.
death by snu snu
Peacefully in my sleep at 120 years old.
Quick
Probably an expected deathbed at an old age but peacefully, would be cool to go out saying by to all of my loved ones.
As peacefully as possible!! 🙏🏻

Accidentally..like die while doing any adventure..can say – Mountain Climbing….Cave Diving….Canyoning..even i will
Same way Pope Francis did, same way my grandma did
Old age, you have a big big health scare that pushes you to the verge of death.
All your loved ones come to terms with the fact that this is it, you’re going to die
Then you get better.
You’re still weak, you’re not back 100%, but you’re better enough to do a few things here and there
Thing is, you and all your loved ones know that you are on borrowed time. So you enjoy every bit of extra bonus tjme knowing how lucky you are
Then, after a few weeks of seeing people and spending moments with them, you die and everyone was emotionally prepared for it
That’s exactly how I want to go
Preferably not while answering this question.
I wouldn’t, too be honest.
With no questions gone unanswered
death by snu snu
I want to sacrifice myself for someone i truly loved… This would be a heroic death
On my hands and knees on top of a mountain in nepal in the worst storm possible blind from my own blood dripping into my eyes masking my tears, can’t breathe because I’m choking on blood and phlem begging for forgiveness to anyone and no one is calling back.
60 is the perfect age, but i think im gonna make it to 50
