No, I'd be way too scared near the time

Hell yeah I would...

That basically means you could attempt the craziest [censored] that you could think of knowing full well that you wouldn't die from it.

No. It would be horrible to have to live with that kind of knowledge of your own impending demise. It would be hard to live. :mellow:

Sounds like an episode of the Outer Limits. Man learns when he will die so does all this crazy stuff. He then ends up injuring himself and ends up in the hospital completely paralyzed. The twist is he knows when he is going to die, but now has to wait paralyzed watching the clock for years and years and years waiting for his death.

I think I'd wait until about 5 years from my expiration date before going crazy, so if something did go wrong like what you describe, I wouldn't be stuck in a hospital bed for very long.

I don't think it would really be possible, say you found out you would die at 90 from cancer or whatever, if you jumped out of an airplane, did you just break the system?

I firstly don't think it is possible to know, and secondly would more than likely see any offering as a con job.

Yes, because I could stop it from happening. For example, if my death was supposed to be from a car crash, I'd drive on a different route. If my death was supposed to be later in life from cancer or some other ailment, I would get myself checked for it a lot sooner.

Go to Valve and stop them from making more terrible games, and also put speakers everywhere so it plays Let the Bodies hit the floor, I love that song so much <3

I don't think they have ever, ever made a horrible game.

I voted yes. I would go streaking in a huge city minutes before the time comes. Best death ever.

I have no idea how that is even relevant...

Sure. I hate surprises.

This pretty much suggests that we all have a destiny and cannot control our lives.
No thank you. I do not believe in destiny.

Id choose to know, then kill myself beforehand and cause a paradox that would shatter the very fabric of time/space and plunge the multiverse into an eternal state of non-time relative timelessness.

Five years stuck in an immobile state is too long. Even a few weeks is too long... Pretty much worse than dying, if you ask me.

No, because no matter the date, it would never be far enough away for me to be satisfied with it.
