  Many people know how they’re going to die, at least approximately. When you’re 93 and have cancer, you know

  Coke fueled orgies are a great way to go out, I agree!

    I prefer cherry coke. No ice.

      Snorting cherry coke isn’t very pleasant though.

        I reverse snorted ginger tea last week and I think I prefer coke.

  I can argue my father did but did not know how he died.

  Be my 62 yr old dad. Get terminal glioblastoma diagnosis. Brain melting… Brain melting… Brain melting… Dead 12 months later exactly not knowing who or what he was/is.

  Legit beain/brainstem forgets how to breathe/send heartbeat signals and in the end its an off switch with extra steps.

  With some probability but not with certainty. At that age it could be anything.

  The post isn’t about knowing in a meaningful or useful sense. In this context it is about the anxiety of the experience in the moments just before it happens.
