Say you won't be able to prevent it or change how you die. Would you want to know the exact time, date and how you'll die?

frick no.

Nope.

No, it would drive me insane IMO.

No way. The concept of death already scares the shite out of me.

When, yeah. How, no. I'm really not holding anything back in my regular lifestyle but if I knew i was going to die in 2 weeks I definitely wouldn't be showing up to work or contributing money to my retirement.

If it's after I'm 70 then yes. Before 70 hell no
Posted on 6/17/16 at 11:27 am to trom83
...eh, what the hell. Why not.

No.
Take the weekend, for example.
Saturday is awesome because you have 2 full days to do what you want work wise. Your stress is at its lowest, you have total control over planning what you do, when, and where.
The idea of Sunday, when you think ahead to it on Saturday, is great because it's more of the same.
However, when you wake up on Sunday, much of your day is clouded by the fact that you know it's coming to an end. That things you didn't do Saturday you HAVE to do today, and the pending doom on Monday weighs heavy on you.
Knowing when you die is like knowing you have to go to work on Monday. A life of not knowing is more like Saturday where there's way less pressures and stress.

Sure. It would make it very easy to plan my retirement.
Posted on 6/17/16 at 11:44 am to trom83
I don't know if I would want to know how, but I would like to know when.
Posted on 6/17/16 at 11:48 am to trom83

especially if it was soon, i would make sure to take some really shitty people with me.

I would enjoy my last days.

seems ideal to me.

Yes. I would have said no before seeing the movie Big Fish.
He found out when he would die and then basically viewed it as being invincible until that moment. Thats the way I would look at. Think about this: currently every day is a day you might die. You wouldnt trade that for know thousands of days you couldnt die, and one day you definitely would?

Posted on 6/17/16 at 11:55 am to trom83
Yes
Posted on 6/17/16 at 12:21 pm to trom83
Yes, easy to plan out things I want to do.
Posted on 6/17/16 at 12:26 pm to trom83
Hell know!

In before both-
"If you're not living you're dying."
&
"We're all dying a little bit every day."
OP: I would not choose to know beforehand. I reserve the right to check out early in the face of some of the more horrific death scenarios. In that case, I would have foreknowledge of the time & place.
