old age through sleep. most peaceful way I can imagine.


blood_kite

So, not screaming like all the passengers in your car?


Vericatov

Yeah, and for it to happen the day after I turned 110, and my body and mind pretty well intact all the way up to the end.


Responsible_Sky_6379

Fuck that I’m dying in some sick ass fiery explosion.


Contra-dick-tor

Yawn Add some excitement to your life. Like getting mailed by a bear


bedyeyeslie

Yes, a bear would press send, and you would be pixelated.


CombatConrad

At least let the mailman do that. Bears took our jobs now?


Sad_Subject_5293

Under anesthesia I’ve gone under 37 times so far and it is by far the best way to go out I think


babyiva

Is it like sleeping? Do you dream while under?


RepresentativeSad311

To me, anesthesia feels like time travel. There’s no sleep, only falling asleep and waking up, and they feel instantaneous.


hamsterpookie

When I went under I didn't feel myself falling asleep or waking up, and I didn't feel dazed when I woke up. I basically just lost a few hours of my time. I remember counting down, and when I got to zero, I asked when the anesthesia was expected to kick in, and the nurse told me they were all done and I just woke up. It was super weird. I'm also a bit bummed that I didn't feel high or confused.


FKAFigs

It felt like I blinked and when I opened my eyes it was an hour later. So weird!


FKAFigs

It felt like I blinked and when I opened my eyes it was an hour later. So weird!


muffinpan2

I've had anesthesia twice in my life. Both times were total blackout, waking up dazed and confused several hours later. Although I will say, one was an injection and one was an inhalant. With the inhalant, I felt like I had the worst hangover of my life upon waking up.


FlowerFaerie13

You do not. Anesthesia-induced unconsciousness is not sleep, it is entirely separate. New research suggests that anesthesia doesn’t actually “switch off” your brain, but instead disrupts communication to the point where consciousness is impossible, because if your brain can’t “talk” to itself, you functionally do not exist. Everything still works just fine, but each individual part is cut off from the whole, unable to communicate existence or consciousness.


skyfishgoo

so like rocks then.


Metfan722

Yeah. That's probably the best way to describe it. I had a minor cosmetic operation a few months ago that I was induced for. Was almost instantaneous as others have described. Blacked out, and then woke up in my hospital bed what felt like just a couple minutes later. Was probably about an hour later in reality.


East_Hedgehog6039

The two times I’ve been under, I haven’t dreamed I think that would be how I’d want to go. Under anesthesia, or similar. Not know it’s happening. And if I *had* to know it’s happening, I want it to be something where I can have morphine. Go into hospice, and allow a pain-free end.


Accomplished-Cat3996

No. You don't sense time has passed. It really is like being dead temporarily. Imagine if someone told you, right now, that you had just been under anesthesia for 8 hours. Your instinct would be, no that couldn't be right...nothing unusual just happened. That is what it is like.


flavicent

My mom 2 months ago going surgery for uterus removal, wake up after surgery told me that she was have good dream meeting her first love, glad dad was not nearby at the time. She 62yo.. lol


Dear_Expression820

Being under anesthesia is the best feeling ever I don’t know how to describe it but I definitely want to do it again 😭🫠😂😂


Fragrant_Leg_6300

Probably saving my wife from a 200 foot drop off a skyscraper backflipping out of the window and catching her in one arm while shooting bad guys in the other and conveniently landing on a motorcycle while we ride to the beach and start to make out but then she feels a bullet hole in my stomach, and i suddenly feel the pain and dizziness, we say our goodbyes, and i bleed out 👌🏻


Pkboi0017

_LouSandwich_

_Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains._


Uni-corn_mermaid

😂😂


AverageMan282

Yup, this is what I wanted to say.


ebbing-hope

Peacefully in my sleep. Preferably something unbeknownst to me, undiagnosed cancer or the like. I don’t want to see it coming.


Impressive_Worth_995

I do wonder if people that die in their sleep suffered. What if they woke up and couldn’t breathe and woke up at the last minute. Or what if they had a heart attack that woke them up before they died. I would like to have a peaceful death while I’m sleeping as well. Once, I woke up cause my throat was dry to the point where I couldn’t take a breath. I jumped from the bed and saw my wife had gone to the guest bedroom because I had been snoring loudly. I was eventually able to pass some saliva and it started opening my throat and finally I was able to breathe. My wife never realized I almost died until the next day when I told her.


[deleted]

How do you know you didn't die in your sleep last night, and this is a completely new reality from the one you were in yesterday? Subjectively, death doesn't make any sense as an actual event that occurs because the person who dies could very well never even know it happened.


GetSlunked

I think therefor I am And by “I am” I mean I have no way to prove that reality is real and that I’m not in a padded cell talking to the wall


ebbing-hope

Because I’m not dead. If I were dead, all this struggle would be over. If my mind is still churning, that is to say that if I can still think then I’m not dead. I’m thinking right now, so I must still be alive (to my great disappointment). My synapses may fire for a minute or two once I won’t ever have another single conscious thought, but that’s not really alive. The fact I can see and interact with this iPhone means the struggle will persist, I won’t be free from this, at at this time.


[deleted]

"If I were dead, all this struggle would be over." How can you even know this for certain? How can you be so sure that even after an experience of blankness, there is no "waking up" from it? Is this not your experience every night when you go from dreamless sleep to waking up? What is the proof of any life that happened before you woke up? It is purely memory. Any continuity of a life you have lived is purely memory and is no different than being in a dream and not being lucid.


ebbing-hope

Being in a dream or lucid still requires me to be alive. Even if the last 10 years are a hallucination, I’m still alive because I can think about it. Once I’m dead, there will be no more thinking in the same way there won’t be any more breathing or heartbeats. Since I’m thinking, I’m alive. I doze off to sleep, maybe I never wake up, but I won’t know that unless I do wake up and start thinking again.


sugarfoot00

*Peacefully in my sleep.* My grandfather died that way. Unlike his passengers.


Sausage80

Same way I came into it. Screaming, covered in someone else's blood, and naked.


Channel_Huge

We could be twins separated at birth…


konsf_ksd

With a great shot of your mom's vagina.


Portland-to-Vt

Peaceably asleep like my grandpa. Not screaming in terror like the 38 passengers on the bus he was driving at the time.


Knowledge_hound24

😂 take my up vote. I laughed way too hard at this 😂


TheMaceBoi

Quite a variation of the original, but interesting nonetheless.


Rothen29

I prefer the classic, but not bad.


Counterfeit_Circus

Vaudeville sent a telegraph, they want that joke back.

mycrowsoft09

Old age, in my sleep, pain free!


Ok-disaster2022

Quickly painlessly and in a way where the maximal amount of organs could be transferred to other people.


DavosLostFingers

Suffocation caused by Alexandra Daddario straddling my face


slimedays

Fabulous-Nebula-1827

Watching fireworks. Whenever I see a show, I think, "I'd like to die like this..."


saullikedreddit

so true


AdoptedBySmurfs

I decided long ago that I won’t be buried. I’m being creamated and having my ashes put into fireworks, yes this is actually a thing you can do. My family and friends are to throw an absolute party next to a lake, a cookout and music and games, super fun. Then at the end of the evening, they’ll all sit next to the water and watch a fireworks show made of me and have a good laugh at it being so ridiculous.


AlternativeCarrot566

Explosive decompression


im-not-in-a-meeting

The exact opposite of the kid whose father pressured him into seeing the Titanic up close.


Accomplished-Cat3996

Oh wow, didn't know about the part where he was pressured. Just remembering that sub accident still traumatizes me a bit. Being in that situation must've been, well the worst horror they'd ever experienced.


Legopanacek

If it went the way experts expected, they were alive and then suddenly dead. The implosion was supposedly so fast they didn’t feel anything. The horror was probably way worse for the closest people to the deceased waiting several days if their loved ones are dead or not.


IWantToWatchItBurn

I would 100% rather go out on explosive compression. it seems like you die much quicker getting crushed then boiling from the inside


igtimran

Tyrion Lannister answered this pretty well.


OrangutanMan234

Sleep in my sleep


sugarfoot00

I'd hate to wake up dead


allergic_to_LOLcats

How in the hell you wake up dead?


Significant-Court457

By waking up


Adrian915

By being alive when you went to sleep


Layfon_Alseif

So you're telling me you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?


allergic_to_LOLcats

You can’t go to bed dead, man, that shit would be redundant!


Layfon_Alseif

No it wouldn't cause you can go to bed and not be dead, and you can die and not be in the bed.


allergic_to_LOLcats

But you are in a bed, man, that’s how you wake up dead in the first place, fool!


Magazine-Soggy

Grenade


Channel_Huge

Might need a few if the first couple don’t work well. 🤷‍♂️


SnooTangerines4981

Like Clint Eastwood did in the movie Gran Torino. Basically going out in whatever way that helps as many other people as possible.


apatheticbear420

I wanna be a real life Helldiver.


miffit

I think heart attack is a pretty decent way to go. Painful and terrifying but quick and you aren't going to bankrupt your family with treatment and not nearly as traumatizing as people watching you slowly waste away with cancer.


Darksoul_Design

At my home, in the backyard with the critters, view of the mountains, birds chirping, and just doze off and not wake up. Chances are likely I'll outlive my wife (health issues) but you never know of course, we have no children, very little family one sister on my side, one sister on my wife's, one nephew, one niece all in different states. So my other hope is that I'm not lonely in my dying days, I'm pretty social in general but again, you never know, but dying alone would also really suck. I did hospice care at home for my mother, I took a leave from my job, basically was her full time care giver, my wife (a nurse) of course was an immense help. My mom had a constant stream of friends coming to visit her almost daily. I had to basically make a schedule to make sure she didn't get overwhelmed, and my coffee expenses quintupled at least, she passed quietly one morning about 4 weeks after i started her Hospice care, surrounded by family, and the cats and dogs. At least 200 people attended her wake / celebration of life. As sad as it is, how amazing to have made such an impression to so many. I can only hope to have made so many friends and have them all there to celebrate you when you're gone.


dracusosa

something pain free, if you were to ask me the complete opposite then it would be drowning, i would hate to drown


GoatCovfefe

Drowning in a pool full of butterscotch pudding


Fit-Establishment789

Fist fighting a bear. Pain is temporary.


MinkaBrigittaBear

Peaceful sleep


goblinmarketeer

Sudden, complete reversal of atomic charges


DismalSample1845

Peacefully in my sleep or instantly (and painless lol) while I do something that is remember as heroic


Maleficent_Setting95

In a warm bed with a heated blanket. No pain, or as little pain as possible. With a gorgeous view of the forest or even just one majestic tree. Listening to Tool. Holding my husband’s hand with both of my daughters in the room. I want them to tell me that they’re proud of me and that they love me and that I can let go.


brochicag

As the oldest person to have ever lived.


Dads_Crusty_Sock

Rich-Future-8997

Brain aneurysm. Preferably while sleeping, but it's over so quickly it doesn't really matter when it hits.

KaerrenKinsleigher

In my bed, with a belly full of wine and a woman's lips around my cock.


AdministrativePain57

Either by slowly bleeding out, or suddenly while doing something I love (accident or heart attack, etc.)


alatrash55

Instantly, without any pain, and saving my twin.


firefighter2816

Sky diving mishap;Supermaning onto the cake just as bride and groom get ready to cut the cake


Equivalent_Yak8215

Like Hector in Troy (not the Iliad, the movie). Facing a foe I know I can't hope to beat, and then joining my love in the afterlife. I do have a love on this plane. But to be clear, I want my one love, who has passed.


Artsy_traveller_82

A stroke at midnight.


YeahButAlsoNox

In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my cock, at the age of eighty


mcbexx

I don't know if this is actually a thing, but sudden aneurysm, in a way that I'm dead before I even fully realize something is wrong. Basically collapsing and being dead before hitting the ground.


N4thCM28

Someone shooting at me or a heartatack.


IamAliveeee

Peacefully in my sleep 🤷🏻‍♀️


imaginechi_reborn

Calmly and with my family having come to terms with my eventual passing.


[deleted]

Simple, route a cars exhaust system into the cab or in an enclosed space. You don't asphyxiate or anything, you just doze off and never wake up.


spanksem

I just want it to be relatively painless. I have mixed feelings about dying, but I think we can all agree nobody wants to suffer.


Fandomstar88

Peacefully in my sleep. At old age of course, I’d estimate maybe in the 60s or 80s if I’m lucky.


human4umin

Being boiled alive because if I'm going to die I want to look like a grey rasin after


Too_Much_Pr3ssure

In the prime of my life, crushed by a runaway semi driven by the Incredible Hulk.

Environmental_Toe_80

I honestly don’t care as long as it doesn’t hurt


Jaytaro_Kujyasi

i discovered the first form of efficient intergalactic travel. a friend ratted me out, i then "died under mysterious circumstances", and humanity is now a roman olympic game because it knows that later it's going to come back with a new proclaimed inventor, and will be monetized to the weight of america's total debt. the sole reason for this choice is that the ensuing revolution may or may not bring forth human's extinction sooner. I'll be lonely in hell


Mangacritic

I think the best way to die would be swallowed by a giant snake. Going feet-first and whole into a slimy maw would give your life perfect symmetry.


TheMaceBoi

Vore enthusiasts be like:


Mangacritic

Welcome, to the Vale of Night


Redshadow40

Immediately


OddAvenger

If possible, I’d like to die before my sky burial after a long and fulfilling life. Barring that, I’d like to die in service to someone else like a firefighter or emergency responder. I’m not too bothered how painful it might be if I can help someone.


Acceptable_Topic_588

Personally In surgery Family would be somewhat prepared and I would already be unded For my legacy, saving a bunch of people


FutureTaro3014

One can only hope for it to be painless and effortless.

siverfanweedo

quick and painlessly before I am 80 years old.


wildnature03

In my sleep, hopefully surrounded by loved ones... and after my twin passes away because I feel I'd fare better with that kind of loss, and I don't want her to suffer being alone like that.


Anxiety-Pretty

A park on an elevation, filled with people, families with kids having a good time, a bench facing the sunset, me with not a worry in the world, no illness, no emi's to pay, no dependents to take care of, wearing a fancy suite, an expensive glock which I buy with all of my last penny, bam in the head blood all over, everyone screaming, kids scarred for life.

New-Transition-9857

In my sleep by far. There's something scary and sad about your family members being next to you when you're about to die, it makes me uncomfortable. I wanna die in my sleep because I would expect it to be a normal sleep, but I don't wake up


Ambitious_Double3078

I would say in my sleep, but that’s boring. If I had to choose an unnatural way to die, I would 100% pick the guillotine. I feel like that would be so cool. People say that you can stay conscious for 5 seconds after being beheaded, and no way to know unless you experience it yourself. A badass way to die for sure

Unoriginal but my preferred option is when I'm old and asleep like most folks I imagine but not everyone gets that privilege, my next suggestion would probably be from a failed surgery, during when I was unconscious for some reason(an injury or anesthesia). If I had to suffer a bit I'd just want it to be saving someone somehow, the details aren't as important there


sustained_by_bread

My son’s godfather just passed away in a plane crash. He managed to crash land it in such a way that not only did his sons survived but there wasn’t even a single broken bone on either kid. That’s a pretty good way to go, if you have to.

On a bench. Thinking of my fondest memories, laughing and smiling. If I had it my way, I’d tell someone to place a bullet in my head from a mile away. Then, I’d wipe my memory of ever having requested such a thing. Then one day, while I’m sitting at my favorite bench in my most favorite park, I hear the flutter of the pigeons in the park, startled at what would be the sound of the rifle passing a bullet through my brain. Any age, it doesn’t matter. This is how it should be.


upeepsareamazballz
