Advanced old age.

i don’t really know the answer to this, but i think i’d rather drown than burn.

AstroChuck's avatar

@eponymoushipster- Eh. Too Monty Python.

Tink's avatar

I’d go with being killed by penguins, which wouldn’t happen :)

Bluefreedom's avatar

I would like to die in my sleep. I imagine that might be one of the easiest and best ways to expire.

If I’m looking for adventure on my way out then I’d like to die while having sex. I think it would be groovy to be coming while I’m going.

Quickly and painlessly, preferably in my sleep!

BBSDTfamily's avatar

Painlessly and unknowingly in my sleep, cuddling with my hubby.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@AstroChuck ok. a holy hand grenade. 5 is right out!

Chocolate overdose.

Tink's avatar

What about love overdose???

whatthefluther's avatar

I’ll be gently drifting off in @sccrowell’s arms (plan in place, method determined….time, however, is not right, yet)

rooeytoo's avatar

@whatthefluther – good on ya, that is the way I want it myself truly.

loser's avatar

In my sleep.

whatthefluther's avatar

@rooeytoo….In @sccrowell’s arms? Just kidding (tho, I would not blame you)! But you are right….there is comfort in having it all together….one less thing for one to worry about. Let’s hope, for both of us, that it is lots and lots of quality time from now. See you around….wtf

I’d like to go at the point in my life when I am “nearest” to God. Perhaps during prayer. If there is an afterlife, this may help ensure admittance into heaven. An eternity of fire sounds too horrid. I have sensitive skin.

DarkScribe's avatar

The same way that Benjamin Button did. I liked that story long before it became a movie. It was the best among those stories, although he was drinking pretty heavily by the time it was released. (The anthology that is.)

cyndyh's avatar

Really big wave. That or old age.

MacBean's avatar

@Tink1113: I think @Bluefreedom mentioned that.

Tink's avatar

@MacBean Hey I did say “love” overdose he just said “oversdose”

MacBean's avatar

@Tink1113: I meant in his first answer, when he said he’d like to die during sex. XD

Tink's avatar

@MacBean oh, I didn’t mean that kinda love

Bluefreedom's avatar

@MacBean. That’s my kind of love overdose. You had it right. =)

SirBailey's avatar

In my sleep.

janbb's avatar

In my sleep, aafter a hopefully long life but more importantly while still mentally and physically fit.

brettvdb's avatar

Death by Snoo Snoo would be my choice…

SuperMouse's avatar

I want to go the way my grandmother did, peacefully, of old age, surrounded by people I love and who love me. Being my boyfriend’s arms would be a bonus.

Phobia's avatar

I wouldn’t want to die in my sleep, too boring. I want to see it coming, and go down in a blaze of glory.

Saturated_Brain's avatar

Whatever it is, do it painlessly. And I wanna have lived a good life. And I wanna have those close to me near. And I wanna be able to say a few last coherent words.

jamielynn2328's avatar

I want to go without pain. So if I’m old, I hope i’m either sleeping or enjoying a morphine drip.

I always thought falling off a building would be good. You wouldn’t feel the impact and I could fly before I die!

cyndyh's avatar

@jamielynn2328: Why do you think you wouldn’t feel the impact?

jamielynn2328's avatar

@cyndyh I just think it would happen so quickly that you wouldn’t feel the impact. I guess I don’t really know that since I never studied physics.

cyndyh's avatar

I have. I think that’d be one of the most painful ways to die.

jamielynn2328's avatar

@cyndyh Is it the faster that you are traveling the harder that you hit?

filmfann's avatar

It used to be important to me that I die in some wonderful or heroic way.
then David Carradine died.
Now, I just don’t want to be found hanging from a Bangkok closet naked, except for the fish net stockings.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I want to go in my sleep like my Grandpa did, not screaming like the people in the back seat of his car.

Sorry, but the best jokes never get old.

cyndyh's avatar

@jamielynn2328: Well, would you rather jump out of a car going 2mph or 50mph? :^>

yziabites's avatar

@Phobia how does one go down in a blaze of glory?

cyndyh's avatar

Shot from a canon?

yziabites's avatar

@cyndyh that’s like something i’ve watched from a cartoon show. LOL

cyndyh's avatar

I’m trying to think of other things that would qualify as “blaze of glory”. That’s the best I could come up with… if I’m being overly literal. :^>

MacBean's avatar

@yziabites & @cyndyh: Even more literal: spontaneous human combustion?

cyndyh's avatar

Or just a gas can and a match.

Phobia's avatar

@yziabites I don’t know, but something out of the ordinary. Something that in (place religious afterlife here) I can look back and say, “Damn, that was frickin awesome.”

I don’t normally think of how I want to die, other than I just don’t want to go quietly.

yziabites's avatar

@MacBean i’ve read somewhere that human combustion is like really really quick, and there with be no remains left. i don’t think i’d like to go out that way. :)

cyn's avatar

I would prorbably die of fear or curiosity.
