Would you like to know the date of your death?

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I wouldn’t wanna know because I would feel obligated to tell my family and they would be so heartbroken over it

[Savy 5,077]

Of course not! I don't want to constantly count the days and worry  about how close I am to death.

[dead account 2,710]

"epic banana"?

Well, I would like to know.

[Astralshy 26,582]

No, I don't like to know the date of my death

[Scarlet02 493]

@Astral Soul Yeah I feel you there. The thought of thinking about my own death makes me uneasy so I prefer not to think about such things. I'd rather enjoy my life and not think about when it'll end.

[Splashee 28,563]

Thankfully, no one can ever know their absolute time of death. It is one of those things that would really make havoc on this world if people knew, as there would be much more crime and violence, as well as people knowing they would survive past events that would hurt others badly.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,245]

No, because that would lead to me over-worrying and overworking to the point where I die earlier than expected  

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

Nope. I'd just live normal until I die. 

 

And speaking of knowing the date of your death, one of my grandmas had a similar situation, though she didn't know the exact date of her death, but she knew the exact year. Everyone thought she was going crazy because she kept telling everyone that she was going to die in 2008, but nobody believed her until she died for real that year. 

[Splashee 28,563]

There is a recursion problem with knowing one selves' death date:

If you were to learn that you are dying at a specific date because of someone else's action, and that someone else has not yet asked for their date of death, then if that someone else does in fact ask for it and tries to change their ways, your death date is no longer valid as the action changed!

This leads to your date of death changing to sooner, or later. However, if that someone else's death were tied to your death date, and your date changed, their date changed as well....

 

And that is it!

No resolve, and we no longer know our death dates anymore as they are always changing depending on when we ask for the date. It becomes as random as if we never asked in the first place.

In context of this thread, no, I'd rather live normally. If I knew I was going to die the moment I hit 25, I'd feel like a ticking time bomb.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

Hell no. That would drive me insane.

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

My biggest fear is dying so I think I’d like to be prepared and know when it will happen.

[MaxAnim 41]

I think I want to know the way I will die to be honest.

So that life doesn’t pull a Final Destination on me.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

To make the answer simple. Yes. Because I've set the timer myself.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

Yes I would love to know. It’s easier to make plans and arrangements when one knows the timetable involved. I could waste less time on meaningless pursuits and spend more time on the things that matter most. There would be less filler. A clear, planned schedule facilitates efficient use of time, and I’d like to have that.

[Clawdeen 14,065]

You mean I’m not already dead?

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,245]

Keep number 19 away from me  Any month with 19th day could provide my departure from this rock.  

[CiBP 365]

Absolutely not! All that would do is make me antsy and micromanaging. I want to enjoy my time while I'm here.

[Iforgotmybrain 5,654]

Not a snowball’s chance I’d want that. How would you even be able to function knowing something like that? Even if the date is decades in the future.

[Starlight Serenade 3,176]

This question is intriguing. On one hand, knowing when you'll die could be beneficial, but it might also lead to paranoia as the date approaches since the manner of death would remain unknown.

Additionally, knowing your death date in advance could fundamentally change who you are, potentially causing society to unravel.
