Find a heroin dealer. It's about the only situation where I'd touch that stuff.
Get another opinion.
I’d probably dedicate some days each week to friends or family, to have more active contact before it’s late, but be shamelessly selfish the other days and spend them trying to finish some of my hobby projects and finally finishing The Witcher 3 if possible.
That’s going to be rough to those currently on my daily agenda, like partner and kid, but I’ve given so much to them, and so little to others I care about, that the balance has to be leaning towards the latter.
Not sure if I actually could do that though. But that’s what I’d hope I’d be able to push for.
Cry because I have accomplished nothing with my life
Sign up for all of the one-month free trials.
On my last day I would find a big cat sanctuary and play with them until they kill me.
Worth it
That's a good one, I really want to cuddle with a tiger cub...
31 days of perfect health and then drop dead? Or 31 days of slow, debilitating, crushing agony and pain and then death? I just lost my best friend to perotineal cancer, from diagnosis to her passing was 97 days. She made plans to travel with her daughter, spend time with friends, write a will, etc. but she ended up spending a majority of that time in the hospital on heavy duty narcotics and offer her nut because of them. I don't think anyone would plan on spending their last 31 days like that but it's more realistic.
Tldr: do the things you would do with news like this now... Don't wait until it might be impossible.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Ask my wife to take the month off, or quit her job, then spend 25 days doing whatever she wants. The last week we can spend with my family.
Given the state of the world these days, 31 days is long enough for at least 3 very particular tasks. Any left over time, I'd probably just be bored and procrasturbate.
Play Super Mario Bros as the second player for 31 days straight.
Mario Party is a game where everyone participate.
Just saying.
I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
He is. Read it again.
Prove him wrong and drive my motorcycle into a highway median at top speed 5 minutes later. I’ll be god dammed if I’m gonna let some doctor think he got the better of me.
If you survive that, at least you only have 31 days left to live.
Good thing "try locked-in syndrome" was last on my bucket list.

Same, same. If immediate consequences don't matter, fuck it.
If "I'm dying in 31 days" doesn't work as a pickup line, then fuck my life anyways.
Heroin!
Get a second opinion
“You got 5"
5 what?
"4 3 2 1"
Doctor says "I got bad news and even worse news. The bad news is, you have 24 hours to live"
I said "Oh my god Doc! What could be worse than that?"
Doctor comes back, "I couldn't get ahold of you yesterday!
(24 hours Joyner Lucas iirc)
Easy ... have a big fat funeral for myself, hand off everything I own to the people I had willed everything to. Tell them thanks. Say goodbye to everyone and leave myself about $1,000. Go off to my parents hunt camp and traditional lands and live out there by myself until the 31 days are over.
I've travelled the world, saw many things, did many things, had a great time but now I'm old and sore all the time and I can't run around as fast or as much any more. I just like sitting, relaxing and enjoying some peace and quiet.
If someone told me I had a month, I want to just spend those last 30 days as quietly as possible looking at trees, water and being around absolutely no one.
Same, except I'd skip the funeral, and on the last day I'd find a remote tree and tie myself there so I could be naturally excarnated:
The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position ... strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

Probably play some Shotgun Mario and Luigi..
Same.
I was going to say liquidate my investments but to be honest I'm not sure I could even spend all the money in my bank accound in 31 days. I don't even know what to buy. Beef Jerky and RedBull? I'd probably get my hands on some psychedelics though, maybe even hard drugs. One thing I would do is much more urban offroading with my truck since I no longer need to be worried about my license - or the truck. I'd probably go have a thai massage with a happy ending and try gay sex too because why not.
All in all I don't think I'd be living that much differently. I already know I'm going to die. I just don't know when.
let's just say there's about to be another luigi on the news
Quit my jobs.
Give my money to loved ones.
Max out my credit cards.
All the drugs. all
Finish stalker 2
Play space engineers and valheim with what time i have left.
I'm afraid what you heard me say is, "a lot of drugs". What I said is, "all the drugs".-
