So let's say you ate the blowfish meat or some equally absurd hypothetical and have twenty-four hours to live.

Twenty-four hours. No less, no more.

What would you do? How would you spend your last short hours on this mortal coil?

Now some people have gone out and done some pretty amazing things before they died if they knew it was coming, I think it'll be the perfect time to do a crazy "Win" compilation for YouTube or something. Or maybe you want to go out with a bang, like stealing Punxsutawney Phil and driving off the cliff. But I know one thing I'll be looking forward to doing: sleep.

Yeah, Imma sleep it off. I love sleep more than life itself so it only feels right to spend my last few hours under sedation, dreaming wonderful dreams before lightly drifting away - as opposed to being conscious the whole time which would suck.

Probably spaz out a bit and then text my ex-girlfriends to see if any of them was up for a fuck? Would fill most of the time.

Break as many laws as possible.

I dearly pray "murder" and "fuck" aren't the two most common responses on this thread.

Eating craptons of junkfood while hiring a prostitute, smoking weed, and making vulgar comments about politicians I dont like.

I would sky-dive in the morning, rent a Lamborghini and the most expensive tom ford suit I can get my hands on, eat the best sushi in the world, order everyone in the next nightclub some really fucking expensive wine I can't pronounce, hook up with tons of women, and then die. Drunk, Happy, and Fulfilled.

Eat my favourite foods. Get my affairs in order. Spend time with my close friends, and say my goodbyes. Then probably just sleep what time I had left away.

Oh, and hopefully in the process of hooking up with a bunch of women, I get into one of those really awesome late night conversations that get super deep. You know the type, and right before everything turns to black I just see all the years flash before my eyes. And I shed a single tear of content.

Happy face/crying face, roll credits!

Get your affairs in order? Who cares about that stuff, you'll be dead! Hedonism is the best policy for death impending situations.

Everybody needs to write a will, especially if you're too young to have thought of it before.

I respectfully disagree. I care. I must, for my own good conscious, and for the sake of my family and friends, take my family and friends into consideration before I die, and help them come to terms with my death, if possible, and having the affairs in order, will written and all, is one of the few things I can do for my family, especially when they're the reason I'm here in the first place, and survived all those years I was dependent on them. Its something that is the least I can do to show them respect and thanks.

I would probably attempt to assassinate a major public figure and go out as a revolutionary martyr, having started some real good shit. Does this count as adventure, or murder?

Crime/murder.

Usual for you or a first?

Awwww

Take a sedative, like I would.

Get as many bags of salt and vinegar chips I can, eat them all, and then jump off a tall building for the fun of it in the last 30 seconds, so I die in midair.

Or set my apartment on fire and overdose on sedatives so I die, like in The Elegance of a Hedgehog.

Shit...I chose the Drugs, fucking, AND booze option. I didn't even consider the Spending time with family/friends option. Damn. I've got my priorities in place.

I'm still pretty young, so go to school and spend the rest of my days with my friends?

What a tragedy that I won't be going to school the next day

Erm... as someone who HAS eaten fugu, and eats it every year (And not dead yet), may I note that it isn't the meat of the fish that's the problem and is indeed quite delicious?

This is the cutest thing I've ever read in my life oh my gosh. You must not go to a school in America

I'd hit out with my ex and ask her if she's willing to spend the last day of her life with a man doomed to die, so he/I can die happy.

Contact the Ukrainian government and ask if they need anything wildly unsafe done to help safeguard the population from the Chernobyl reactor. Fuck every prostitute in Kiev, and go off and die a hero.

If they say "no, we're good" then substitute Japan and Fukushima.

You have a good cook.

Trying to consume it without the proper removal of the venom will almost certainly kill you.

I would spend all of my money in guns to start a shooting rampage through the city. Hell yeah!
