It’s a great thought experiment to get us to think about what is truly important -
No one is going to answer “work more” or “continue to conform to other’s expectations of me.” or any other thing that we are taught to believe are important.
Sure having some savings is important, your health is important (except maybe not so much in this instance), but really life is about experiencing life not creating shareholder value or working hard to blend into the crowd just to make other people less uncomfortable.
I know I went off on a tangent, I do that often. But I’ve been thinking more about how in the west we are taught aggressively from a young age what is deemed important (work, money, prestige, name brand things, etc) and what is frivolous (hobbies, family, friends, etc) and then people wonder why life sucks. It doesn’t suck, it’s that you are trying to conform to something that goes against your true nature.
To answer the question: travel, spend time with people I love, play video games, eat more cheeseburgers, drink more beer.
Find a heroin dealer. It’s about the only situation where I’d touch that stuff.
Study up on Luigi stuff
First stop: Arby’s. I’m going to die anyways.
I immediately sought a second opinion, but the earliest appointment was two months from now.
Ask if there’s an expedite process.
Prove him wrong and drive my motorcycle into a highway median at top speed 5 minutes later. I’ll be god dammed if I’m gonna let some doctor think he got the better of me.
You became death locked the second he said it. You have just become immortal for a month.
If you survive that, at least you only have 31 days left to live.
Good thing “try locked-in syndrome” was last on my bucket list.
Don’t think it would be possible to be second to last or any other really
If “I’m dying in 31 days” doesn’t work as a pickup line, then fuck my life anyways.
Luigi
Same, same. If immediate consequences don’t matter, fuck it.
Probably play some Shotgun Mario and Luigi…
Same.
Get a second opinion
“You got 5"
5 what?
“4 3 2 1”
Doctor says “I got bad news and even worse news. The bad news is, you have 24 hours to live”
I said “Oh my god Doc! What could be worse than that?”
Doctor comes back, "I couldn’t get ahold of you yesterday!
(24 hours Joyner Lucas iirc)
Easy … have a big fat funeral for myself, hand off everything I own to the people I had willed everything to. Tell them thanks. Say goodbye to everyone and leave myself about $1,000. Go off to my parents hunt camp and traditional lands and live out there by myself until the 31 days are over.
I’ve travelled the world, saw many things, did many things, had a great time but now I’m old and sore all the time and I can’t run around as fast or as much any more. I just like sitting, relaxing and enjoying some peace and quiet.
If someone told me I had a month, I want to just spend those last 30 days as quietly as possible looking at trees, water and being around absolutely no one.
Same, except I’d skip the funeral, and on the last day I’d find a remote tree and tie myself there so I could be naturally excarnated:
The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position … strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.
That sounds like a nice way to spend it.
Play Super Mario Bros as the second player for 31 days straight.
Duck Hunt second player is the best.
Mario Party is a game where everyone participate.
Just saying.
I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
He is. Read it again.
let’s just say there’s about to be another luigi on the news
drugs
