I think for me, its either:

(Ranked by most to least likely)

  1. Heart Attack
  2. Suicide (Probably by Jumping)
  3. Hit by a vehicle
  4. Murdered by a family member

  1. Cancer
  2. Stroke
  3. Aneurism

Suicide shows up far too often. Y'all need help!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

TBF a lot of people who are bed-ridden by any of your three answers have a higher frequency of ending it from an OD of their pain meds, especially if they're terminal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Psst. The group most likely to kill themselves has little to no advocacy. Go see!

Flipping off the wrong guy. I'm almost sure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

A total breakdown of society at some point in the next decade

Either cancer or car accident.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

-overdose

-victim of random homicide

-car

-smth retarded that i did drunk

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I cycle and hike quite a bit, so probably a car

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Fingers crossed for a bear!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Hate crime.

Killed in 2050 by my own housework robot, which has been hacked by chinese criminals, in a failed attempt to steal all my pixel coins.

  • Heart/Lung failure (I have a nasty condition)
  • Car Accident
  • Lung transplant gone wrong
  • Cancer
  • Freak accident

Maybe the freak accident will be like some final destination crazy thing. Like I'll get smushed by a piano falling from a building, or I'll be attacked by an eagle and it'll cut the jugular. Maybe air force one will be shot down and land on my apartment sorta Donnie Darko style. Hahahaha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Me and my life choices.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

an accident cancer suicide

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Heart attack easy. Runs in the family

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Unfortunately mom & her mom got dementia, so unless something comes along earlier to kill me, or unless we get a good preventative, that is more likely my fate.

No, they weren't overweight or smokers or physically idle, my mom was a professor and kept lifelong friends, really no lifestyle risk factors. Of course that's only on the one side of my family, my dad died of heart condition that I don't have and I'm not sure about his parents.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I'll probably slip on a banana peel right down the stairs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Probably taking my health for granted and not taking care of it when younger, combined with societal constructs that make that difficult - nutrition, car culture, climate change, well care/health insurance, etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Organ rejection/degradation probably

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Your list is pretty wild. If you're serious about #2, please talk to a mental health professional if you haven't done so yet. And if you seriously put #4 ahead of, like, cancer or infectious diseases, you should definitely consider leaving for another country.

As for me, I live a relatively normal life in a relatively peaceful environment. I'd put my money on cancer.

  1. Old-age-related sicknesses.
  2. Missile/bomb/grenade explosion
  3. Cancer
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Just like the old fortune teller said!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago
  1. Suicide as my body/finances will have deteriorated to the point where life isn't worth living.

  2. Cancer

  3. Heart attack

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

My most likely cause of death is the same as most men my age:

Falling off a ladder.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

God willing, age? Natural death as they call it, ideally 85+. If not, probably lung or stomach cancer. Hopefully in my old age, again. 🙏

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Something stemming from me being overweight.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Climate change? WWIII? I dunno...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

If i get the chance to retire then it will be of old age.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Suicide is possible for me but i am in a much better place then i use to be so i may have avoided that at least for now.

I drive a lot for work so hit by a car or accidentally murdered by some trigger happy moron who forgot they ordered food are both fairly likely

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Butt too small

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago
  1. Hit by a vehicle
  2. Natural causes
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Most likely a skiing/mountain biking/car/surfing/hiking/tragic boating accident would be my best guess, other than cancer... If you're not suicidal, a risk taker or into extreme sports it's most likely going to be cancer though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Some kind of vascular accident or cancer I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

1 car accident 2 age related (heart attack, cancer, getting sick when too old to deal with normal sicknesses) 3 firearms accident 4 house fire 5 underestimating a sickness Edit to add 6 workplace accident (manufacturing)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Melanoma. I've already had like a dozen pre-cancerous moles removed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Probably heart attack.

I'm physically active and in good shape, but it's genetic.
