Woo, finally an uplifting thread. What do you think would be the worst way to die, anything you can imagine. I would say being a fish out of water. Fish have about 5 second memories, so every 5 seconds you would realize in a panic you were about to die and cannot breath. Every 5 second cycle would be worse and more agonizing then the last as you got closer and closer to death never fully comprehending what was going on until the last moment when you regain your memory for just a brief second only to die immediately. :'(

When my daughter was about 3, a father of one of my close friend's father died - in his sleep.
I told her, and she was very upset. She said it was awful.
Perplexed, since I figured that it was actually a pretty good way to go, I asked her "Why?"
Her reply? "Because he wouldn't know that he was dead!"
Ah - the logic of a 3-year-old!

Years of general decline in health, culminating in confinement to a "nursing home" where all you can do is suffer for even more years while waiting to die, all the while watching all your life earnings being consumed by the medical system so that all your attempts at building an inheritance for your family wind up being for nothing, until further progression of your general decline robs you of even that awareness, reducing your existence to nothing but pain interrupted by periods of awareness just long enough to realize that all you do is suffer and incur debt, followed at long last by death, broken, broke, and alone, from nothing in particular, by which point everyone who knew you will have become so weary of you from watching you do nothing but suffer that they can no longer find it in themselves to care about your passing.
Interestingly, such deaths are quite common.

I am totally convinced that a "Hemlock"solution could, and should, not only be legal, but also common.
There is little doubt that I would choose it for myself, once my quality of life was degraded past a certain threshold.
Although the elders in my family mostly went quickly and with dignity, I have, and am, watching my wife's ancestors inflict and endure monumental suffering on themselves and surprisingly large circles around them.
It is a tragedy and a horror.

Drowning, or tortured to death.

Please. Death by sawing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_sawing). Victim was hung upside down and literally sawed in half. Since the blood didn't drain out of their head, they stayed conscious through most of it.

This was totally one of the torture chambers in Amnesia.

Do you mean the Hemingway Solution? That's both barrels in the mouth, pull the trigger with your toe. And I think it should be ok as well.

Drown in a tank of HCL.

Personally, I think cancer is one of the worst ways to die.

I actually understand that logic. I would hate dying in my sleep because I would leave unfinished business. Of course, when you're dead the unfinished business no longer matters, but still. haha.

Eaten alive.

one humorous, one serious.
1. Death by getting run over slowly by a steamroller from the legs up, purely because the steamroller would stop the bleeding from areas it's crushed.
2. Bees.

Burning while being sawn in half in a bath of HCl.

You know what we post in this thread will happen to us in act 2, right?

Rowdy deletes his earlier post ...

Ok then ...
Worst way to die: being tickled to death by 100 naked 18 year olds ...

Thinking of death hurts but once it has happened. It is done. Mental torture with or without physical torture would be pretty bad.
If anyone that will be dying soon, please be at peace.
Best way to die? Carcrash. Not wishing on it but one of the better options.

Best way to die: of natural causes in your sleep.

Everyone dies alone.

Man, this thread got super depressing.

By not resolving issues you really wanted to? It's like knowing you're going to die, yet you can't leave in peace

A dream I dreamed a couple times is where I kill people by complete accident and everybody hates me. I'm shunned by everyone and I try to show I'm innocent but nobody listens so I start making this plane(I don't know how in the world the plane is relevant but I do it every time for some reason). I start flying the plane and somehow I feel that flying it is going to prove my innocence. But before anybody can see me, I start losing control. I'm afraid that I might kill someone else so I turn and crash into the water and kill myself. So I end up dieing without being able to prove my innocence and for me, I feel the worst way to die is to die hated.

Man, this thread got super depressing.
Yea... maybe make a thread like best way to die or things to do before you die....
-
Things to do before I die?
Make a will :)) :)) :))

Sounds good to me! ;D ;D

Definitely. If we leave our keyboards anywhere else they might be recycled!
-
I think so..... For the uninitiated, they would definitely think a backlit, bling, anti ghosting logitech is better than a KMAC or even a Filco or even a model M :)
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

Dying before being enough of a man to grow a beard would be depressing.

I don't know about worst, but I fear drowning.
Best way to die? Getting run over by a steamroller in place of someone you love.
-
1 drowning
2 burning
3 being put feet first through a wood-chipper
As a medical professional, I have thankfully only seen the first two.
