Ask Lemmy

Completely unaware of my impending fate, in some way that my cats will have uninterrupted care.

As the Vandals said, "If we all go at once we don't have to say goodbye."

Just any painless method.

Originally, my favorite was inert gas asphyxiation. Based on previously found info, it seemed like the best option, just falling asleep and dying. Of course I was aware of the main risk: running out of the inert gas and again getting oxygen. That could result in permanent severe brain damage.
However I later found even worse stuff. Veterinarians apparently stopped using this method as the animals were showing severe signs of distress, meaning that it perhaps wouldn't be as painless.
Finally, there was a nitrogen hypoxia execution in Alabama recently:

Smith appeared to remain conscious for several minutes. For at least two minutes, he appeared to shake and writhe on the gurney, sometimes pulling against the restraints. That was followed by several minutes of heavy breathing, until breathing was no longer perceptible.

Thus I finally ruled this out.

In debt, in love and a bit drunk.

I don't know whos that is, but it's the best. But more in line with the question : I want to see it come. That is my wish.

I want to be killed by beautiful woman. I would like to die in her arms.

When I’m good and fucking ready.

Instant death aneurysm or quick heart attack.

Soon.

Quietly, peacefully, and when I'm ready. All my experience of death has been unpleasant and traumatic, and I'd really like mine to just be ok. I know it's a lot to hope for though.

In a way that destroys my brain instantly.

I literally don't care about anything else I just don't want to feel any pain.

Peacefully, with all my mental faculties at the ripe old age of 1,834.

I want to live a long and happy life, accomplish as much as I could expect to and love generously...

...and then that one scene from Final Destination 2 with the falling pane of glass.

I hope I won't! I know it's unrealistic, but this is my hope.

Cardiac arrest in my sleep somewhere between 60 and 70.

At the same time as my wife after my daughter has established herself and no longer needs us. I don't want to be here, but they need me right now. As soon as they don't, I'm out.

Fast.

My father spent his last years in a hospital, gradually getting weaker and weaker. After two years he decided enough was enough and refused food, water or medicine. He had so little fat on his body at that point that it only took three days to starve himself into a coma and then death. I helped the funeral director move his body out to her van. He'd been in a foetal position so long we couldn't unbend him to lie flat on the trolley.

Actually, I'd like to amend that. Fast and in bed with a pair of 19-year old twins.

I'm taken out by truck-kun so I can reincarnate

With unfinished business, I get to hang around as a ghost for another couple of hundred years.

In all seriousness though, preferable on my own terms. Maybe euthanasia at an old age, where I feel like I've lived enough and just want to move on. I'd celebrate life with my partner (if they're still alive) and our children, wish them the best with everything and then... exit. Though, knowing my partner (and myself), it'd probably be a double euthanasia when we're both ready for it. I couldn't bear to give that kind of farewell to them and I doubt they'd be any different.

In any case, the last thing I want is to be clinging on to life with every last ounce of my strength and have a miserable couple of last years because of it. Especially if it means I'd be a burden to everyone around me in the process.

Slowly over the course of months hooked up to every device to keep me "alive" in the ICU because my shitty relatives can't let me go otherwise they won't get to steal my social security checks every month. /s

Or peacefully while watching the sunrise over a beautiful snow capped mountain rage.

I don't know how, but I hope I die better than I've lived.

200+mph

Fulfilled. I literally do not care about how violent or painful my death would be, I just want to feel like I contributed to our society, that my life had a purpose.

Nonviolently would be nice. And I’d like it to not involve famine, drought, or natural disaster if at all possible. Idk I think I could handle a heart attack in my later decades if that’s good with everyone.

Soon

Last night would have been great, had the best ending possible.

Like, as long as it is quick and riding a high.

Meteorite.

Like, just cruising along and then a meteorite no bigger than a pebble randomly selects me to be their target, obliterating me on the spot. Hopefully in a crowded public place to get the biggest reaction.

That shit would be hilarious.

Only when I want to.

I don't really care so long as it doesn't hurt.

At the age of 69 while 69'ing

Live long, die fast

Violently and painfully

Hypothermia, as apparently it's not at all painful, and I wish to avoid pain.
