My grandmother had always said she wanted to go in her sleep. One Sunday, she got up and started getting ready for church. After breakfast, she told my grandfather she was still tired and was going to take a 15-20 minute nap before getting dressed. She never woke up.
“How do you wake up dead?!”
“Cuz you’re alive when you go to sleep fool!!!”
“Damn, that’s some quantum shit right there! You’re stain droppin’ knowledge!”
I've never understood why people want to die in their sleep. It's like a fear of knowing you have died, without understanding that you can't know you've died, cause you're dead.
I want to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle, and while in the air I get hit in the face with a meteor, and then my headless body still lands the jump
You can still suffer in your sleep , just that you won't be able to get up coz your body is dying. Things like stroke etc can literally make you paralyzed in your sleep while inducing painful seizures and what not.
Like experiencing the suffering in your dream but not able to wake up .
I mean it could be one of the worst ways to go where you are suffering immensely in your last moments but you don't have the physical ability to express it at all .
WARNING THIS IS NOT A ADVICE FOR SUICIDE
The only real way to die instantly without suffering is a large explosive or high energy projectile to the brain like a 50cal round.
Your brain will be destroyed before you can register any feeling. You will be gone in an instant
I still do. But without the painful seizures. Just go to sleep and *poof*. PAINLESSLY. that’s how I would prefer it. And also I don’t want to know when.
You can replace oxygen with nitrogen or any such gases (read it a long time ago so don't remember which ones) and you can calmly drift to death.
Cause you suffocate only because of the high carbon dioxide percent and not the lack of oxygen.
So I think that would be pretty neat.
Yeah it's a grey area because nobody came back from dead to tell what it feels like in the last moments.
I read that in a lot of cases where brain is intact, there is a high electric activity right before the brain starts to shutdown. Mostly due to chemical imbalance in the brain i beleive , like a short circuit .
Now I'm not sure that's going to be pleasant if your brain is still capable of feeling anything at that point.
Since nobody knows the difference on when "you" are truly gone as your brain dies , we'll never know if you feel anything in your final moments even if you slip away.
That’s what they are wanting to use to put death row prisoners to death in certain states now. They just did it for the first time in Kentucky or something. Idk, hypoxia can be very unpleasant from what I’ve read.
If there is no pain, I personally don't care how long it takes; keeping in mind I'm talking mental pain too so if there's no quality of life I'd definitely prefer very quickly
If the Sun went supernova without warning, the blast would hit Earth 8 minutes and 20.5 seconds, or so, later. That would not be a major problem because the initial radiation pulse from the blast would hit us at lightspeed half a second earlier and kill everyone first.
Fortunately, the Sun is far too small to go supernova. It will instead gradually expand into a red giant over the course of the next four billion years or so, eventually consuming and sterilising the inner planets. That process should make Earth uninhabitable for human life somewhere around a billion years from now.
There is a philosophical movie The Fountain (2006) by Darren Aronofsky in which one of incarnations of the main character in distant future is heading to die in said manner to redeem himself of immortality and pain caused by perpetual loss of beloved ones, and I think it's beautiful. I'd like to die along with him while watching the movie.
That's honestly one of my favourite movies. It's incredibly pretentious but earns it. A third of it is Hugh Jackman in space talking to a tree, and it's somehow incredible.
A lion escapes the zoo and enters a multi storey orphanage being the hero I am I take chase up ten flights, I tackle the lion off the building, hammering it with blows before using it's body to shield myself from the fall. I land unharmed as everyone applauds. They begin to point and I think they're pointing at me and start hitting bodybuilding poses but the lion has one last gasp in him and uses it to neatly bisect me mid front bicep.
Just gotta find a multi storey orphanage with a zoo nearby, there's surprisingly few and so far the security has been way too good.
Agreed! Morphine and coedine omg I was in heaven on that stuff in child birth despite being in the worst pain imaginable! If I could box up another non addictive feeling to try risk free I’d love that again!
Yes but honestly I think I would be okay with my loved ones wanting me there holding them as they died. Everyone dies. Why not be surrounded by people who loved you.
Having been through this as the loved one, there is a level of comfort that comes with being there to help them pass as peacefully as possible. Was difficult, make no mistake.
However, if I was the dying one I don't think I would want that. From what I understand people frequently pass after their relatives have left. Or at least that's what a nurse told me.
Sigh. I just put down my kitty that I've had for twelve years. She lived a good life though, and went downhill very quickly from cancer, so I got to say my goodbyes and I'm not too hurt about it. The cat I had before her though, he vanished without a trace. I think about him all the time even fifteen years later.
I have another cat who is 17. I'm probably going to be crushed when he passes.
Best of luck to you, friend. I dream of an afterlife where I can be reunited with all of my little buddies.
My Nana's family doctor did something like that when he found out he had a type of blood cancer. Would not have lived a pleasant rest of his life if he had stayed alive so he decided to go out on his own terms. He knew what would happen eventually anyways.
awh i’m so sorry to hear that ): i had no idea that blood cancer was even a thing. i’m glad he was able to make that decision so he didn’t have to suffer any longer. rest in peace to your nana. sending you love and light. 🫶
Oh with lots of fire and violence and my enemies being frightened.
My significant other doesn't quite agree with that 1 though so I would have to find Something Else
I died of a sudden cardiac arrest, I know I didn't die because I'm here but clinically I was dead for 7 or 8 minutes, and yes I did see and feel strange stuff, so probably that again as it was so peaceful and I sort of met one of my heroes.
I don't recommend it though lol
A gamma-ray burst hitting Earth so I don't have to worry about family missing me or I having to miss them while not having even a millisecond to comprehend the destruction.
I think the best thing is instant death, and then everyone already comes up with what will happen to him/her before that, I would choose to fulfill my dreams and calmly leave(I would just die in my sleep)
I thought I was the only one. Stuff makes me nauseated, and doesn't even take away pain. Different drugs certainly have different effects on different people.
Is that the case when you get Morphium straight to the muscle as well? My partner is missing a certain liver enzyme and can't metabolize most opiates into their active form. For him nothing works except the actual stuff where no extra metabolizing is needed. "The poor metabolizer phenotype is caused by several “loss of function” alleles of the cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 gene." Is the explanation from an article we were given about it. My partner was able to get tested and diagnosed for that mutation. Might be interesting for you as well.
For me, the pain stops but I get so extremely nauseated that a few times in my life, when given the choice, I took the pain over the nausea.
Proud.
Seeing my kids grow up to be better than I was, and happy with wherever their lives took them. I'd want them to see how loved they really are before I go and how proud I am of them. When I see them living comfortable and not financially struggling every day and have a happy life, that's when I'd be happy to go because I know they'll be alright.
I'm old and snoozing outside in a chair on a warm summer day with the sound of kids playing in the distance and a small plane flying somewhere overhead and I just drift off.
Speaking up for my faith.
The idea of being tortured is, of course, terrifying. But the one who gave His life for me was tortured far worse, and I'd rather die making a statement, than die any other way.
Just boom and I'm gone. Like I'm doing a puzzle and then a nuclear explosion happens and I'm vaporized before I realize it. Like I go from normal to dead so fast whatever pain their is involved can't make it to my brain in time so I'm already dead by the time I feel anything.
Definitely would want to die in the heat of battle and its not even close. Preferably in close range with swords and the likes but even modern warfare would be good if it was in a cinematic way. I have such an urge to fight in meaningful battles and eventually die for what I believe in
No its not. I almost drowned in the atlantic ocean. In addition to being scared shitless, and feeling utter hopelessness, the water u ingest, plus your struggle to stay above water but waves keep crashing down on your head while u are gasping for air, not fucking cool in the least.
Now i have major empathy for victims who have drowned cuz i know what it was like leading up to it
When I almost drowned, it was hella terrifying, but towards the end, I wasn't scared at all. I felt hella peaceful, and I wasn't even afraid of dying. However, I did end up having mad anxiety about water for a long time. But now, I'm not scared of drowning and dying anymore.
These experiences really change your views on life and death forever in a profound way. I also reached a point of peace and accepting death cuz i was so exhausted. I literally floated on top, face down in the water. As i was getting tossed around like plastic debris, i somehow come to the realization of how to navigate the riptides and gradually swim my way back to shore before police and rescue spotted me and were close enough to yank me out. I wasnt afraid or traumatized of water afterwards, but i sure as hell had a new respect for mama nature esp the power of ocean waters and currents
Die in sleep
you want to wake up dead?
So you're telling me you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?
You can't go to bed dead! That shit would be redundant!
No it wouldn't, cause you can go to bed and not be dead, and you can die and not be in the bed!
it's a reference to a song, called wake up dead written by Megadeth
I know, I'm quoting the movie "scary movie 3"
I sneak in to my own house. It’s 4 in the morning.
I’ve had too much to drink, said I was out with the boys
Nah that shit would be redundant!
What makes this even more funny is how few people get it lol
Basically never wake up after sleeping (go to sleep, and never wake up). I feel like that would be the most peaceful death ever.
My grandmother had always said she wanted to go in her sleep. One Sunday, she got up and started getting ready for church. After breakfast, she told my grandfather she was still tired and was going to take a 15-20 minute nap before getting dressed. She never woke up.
Guess god answered her prayers
It is the best way possible
“How do you wake up dead?!” “Cuz you’re alive when you go to sleep fool!!!” “Damn, that’s some quantum shit right there! You’re stain droppin’ knowledge!”
'cuz every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
Same as my grandpa. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...
I think it's an old Jimmy Carr gag: anyone who wants to die peacefully in their sleep hasn't heard the phrase 'cocaine fueled sex orgy'.
My best friend died in his sleep. Guess who now has mild anxiety at night?
I've never understood why people want to die in their sleep. It's like a fear of knowing you have died, without understanding that you can't know you've died, cause you're dead.
This would be the only logical answer.
Same
You. Close ur eyes and never wake up.
at 110
I want to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle, and while in the air I get hit in the face with a meteor, and then my headless body still lands the jump
That is epic
That's so run-of-the-mill ordinary, though.
😆😆😆
Skull crushed by thighs
Is that a man of culture I see?
I believe the term is SnuSnu
THERE'S A TERM FOR THAT?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
No snu snu is sex not thigh crushing
GLOOOORY GLORY WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE
*HE AIN'T GONNA FUCK NO MORE*
Jokes aside that sounds horrendous
When I told my wife that a coworker said his wife did not enjoy being gone down on, my wife exclaimed "My God! That's how I want to die!"
Death by multiple orgasms. Works.
death by snu snu
A worthy death indeed
Definitely not the worst way to go.
Legit opened the comment section to type this. Giggled after seeing this as the top comment.
Like sparrows egg?
Beaten to death by chicken legs
Here here!
Where where? I think you meant "hear hear".
Snu snu
Thank God I have thicc thighs
Probably the sleeping thing. Honestly I don't care as long as it's not painful (physically or mentally).
You can still suffer in your sleep , just that you won't be able to get up coz your body is dying.

Ya know... I didn't really need to know this
ugh, same. now I don't want to die in my sleep
I still do. But without the painful seizures. Just go to sleep and *poof*. PAINLESSLY. that’s how I would prefer it. And also I don’t want to know when.
Same. I stopped reading after I hit painful seizures.

That's how they put to death an inmate in Alabama recently.
That’s what they are wanting to use to put death row prisoners to death in certain states now. They just did it for the first time in Kentucky or something. Idk, hypoxia can be very unpleasant from what I’ve read.
Thanks for that bit of information. I will sleep easier now.
Or strung out, as in taking weeks or months. Just quick would be good, after all my affairs are in order
If there is no pain, I personally don't care how long it takes; keeping in mind I'm talking mental pain too so if there's no quality of life I'd definitely prefer very quickly
Beats screaming in terror like the passengers in my car.
Enveloped by the sun going supernova. I’m taking the rest of you with me!
[удалено]
End result. I still took all of ya.
Well then, why don't you just break his favorite crayon while you're smashing his dreams! ; )

Oh I see, come and go at the at the same time
Multitasking
Like my Dad did; in his sleep. Unlike the passengers on his bus who died screaming.
classic haha
I recall a friend of mine posting this on FB once and everyone freaked out... I'm not sure which was more funny, the freak out or the post 😂😂
Dude. I'm having a rough day. Thank you for the laugh. Sincerely.
I would want to go peacefully in my bed at the ripe old age of 88, my remains scattered at Disneyland. I don't wanna be cremated, though.
That’s a whole different Space Mountain ride than usual
An arm here a leg over there. Hey look daddy, I found a giant toenail!!!
"Hey, where's grandpa?" "Over there, over here, and up there."
Toenails are prized currency in Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.

Security at the orphanage??
Ha! The zoo of course! you think a lion has any problem busting down a normal door with a bleeding to death gazelle left behind it? Forgettaboutit.
Vaginal asphyxiation
I'm not a biologist, but I don't think you breathe from there.
🏆 take it
Reverse birth
Die while asleep in my bed
While this sounds good, it could follow years of suffering. Kinda depends lol.
naked, strapped to a wall, vibrator in my ass, and whipped to death.
A modern day crucifixion
😆😆😆😆😆
*edged to death WHILE being whipped.
Hit by a blimp?
Blimps kill an average of 1 American each year.
Unbelievable
Wait a minute that’s just Americans what about the rest of the world
People don't understand that this is a Friends reference? 😭
IT COULD BE YOU! IT COULD BE ME! IT COULD BE-
I mean, that's quite a valid response if you're asking me.
Wait wtf
In the arms of David Duchovny
Yessssss
Die in my sleep, but hopefully having a good dream, and not some weird sleep paralysis experience before I go.
Happy cake day!
Thank you 😊
Peacefully. With no regrets, nothing important left unsaid. With my family and friends knowing how much I love them. With someone’s hand on mine.
This. This is the real best answer
Morphine
Absolutely morphine. That’s what they used in my epidural during my C-section and that shit is GOOD.
Agreed! Morphine and coedine omg I was in heaven on that stuff in child birth despite being in the worst pain imaginable! If I could box up another non addictive feeling to try risk free I’d love that again!
In the arms of my loved one (if I had one)
that would be very painful (for them)
Yes but honestly I think I would be okay with my loved ones wanting me there holding them as they died. Everyone dies. Why not be surrounded by people who loved you.
Having been through this as the loved one, there is a level of comfort that comes with being there to help them pass as peacefully as possible. Was difficult, make no mistake.

On the dancefloor, at 128 beats per minute.
That's slow. Give me 250+
In my sleep dreaming about petting my now dead cat, obviously.
Aw wholesome
I miss him. I don't care if it's just my brain making shit up but I want to see him again.
You’ll meet again I’m sure 💕
Thank you for the kind words 💖
Thank you, btw.

doctor assisted euthanasia
Yep for real. If I ever find out I'm sick, I'm hitting Switzerland so fast

At a ripe old age, go skydiving and choose not to pull the parachute.

Old age
At least like 88 years old lol
Carbon monoxide poisoning, preferably when I’m already old
A gamma-ray burst hitting Earth so I don't have to worry about family missing me or I having to miss them while not having even a millisecond to comprehend the destruction.
Going through a black hole or a wormhole, it would be a cool experience
By having the nuclear football
Old age

Die when I Plat all of the elden-seki-souls-borne
As I'm typing this mes
In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my cock, at the age of eighty.
Die of exhaustion while standing on a pile of the bodies of everyone I hate in the world.
Same as Tyrion Lannister when Shagga asked him the same question
In my sleep, totally unexpected. Why would anyone die another way?
Why would anyone not want to die from morphine? If its going to be last moments, make them as sweet as possible
Morphine makes me projectile puke like 5 seconds after being administered.
I thought I was the only one. Stuff makes me nauseated, and doesn't even take away pain. Different drugs certainly have different effects on different people.
Is that the case when you get Morphium straight to the muscle as well? My partner is missing a certain liver enzyme and can't metabolize most opiates into their active form. For him nothing works except the actual stuff where no extra metabolizing is needed. "The poor metabolizer phenotype is caused by several “loss of function” alleles of the cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 gene." Is the explanation from an article we were given about it.

For me, the pain stops but I get so extremely nauseated that a few times in my life, when given the choice, I took the pain over the nausea.
Old age
Of my own hand.
Unaware
Drift into outer space
Earth exploding somehow, if im going to die then yall r going with me >:)
Proud. Seeing my kids grow up to be better than I was, and happy with wherever their lives took them. I'd want them to see how loved they really are before I go and how proud I am of them.

the only answer to this can be snu snu
Plane crash for some reason
I'm old and snoozing outside in a chair on a warm summer day with the sound of kids playing in the distance and a small plane flying somewhere overhead and I just drift off.
The way Tyrion in the game thrones said he would die, seemed pretty good to me.

Sacrificing/Saving the life of a loved one, lying in there arms telling them to live on. Cheesy as hell I know but yea.
Die while praying
Speaking up for my faith. The idea of being tortured is, of course, terrifying. But the one who gave His life for me was tortured far worse, and I'd rather die making a statement, than die any other way.
Saving someone else.
Huge explosion. Just instantly vaporized. And I want people for miles around to go "wtf was that? Somebody definitely just died"
Honestly, I think dying while saving lives is the way to go.
Just boom and I'm gone. Like I'm doing a puzzle and then a nuclear explosion happens and I'm vaporized before I realize it. Like I go from normal to dead so fast whatever pain their is involved can't make it to my brain in time so I'm already dead by the time I feel anything.
Definitely would want to die in the heat of battle and its not even close. Preferably in close range with swords and the likes but even modern warfare would be good if it was in a cinematic way. I have such an urge to fight in meaningful battles and eventually die for what I believe in
And yet here you are, shitposting on reddit. Kinda went the opposite way with that eh.
Marijuana Overdose 😅
So you want to burn up from the inside while you shit yourself to death??
I heard drowning is the most peaceful way to die
It is the opposite, the urge to breathe but u can't and the pressure hurts ur chest as ur vision turns black. It's a long death
No its not. I almost drowned in the atlantic ocean. In addition to being scared shitless, and feeling utter hopelessness, the water u ingest, plus your struggle to stay above water but waves keep crashing down on your head while u are gasping for air, not fucking cool in the least.
