...But didn't know when or where, how would you act?

Example: You knew you were going to die in a car accident. Would you try to minimize your driving?

I think I would, but if I was going to die in the shower or something, I wouldn't stop showering, I'd just be more careful, I guess?

I'm paranoid as it is, so if I was knew I was going to die driving, I'd stay as far away from any motor vehicle as possible.

Probably listen to that Nickelback song "If your day was your last day" and follow the directions...

I'd probably just be disappointed because I die in an incredibly lame way.

Yeah, especially if it's like a daily activity like showering. Every time I would do that I would wonder...

depends on the way. like driving...that's just too common for me to really change (since i have to work and stuff). the Showering thing is something i can change so i would do that. if it was eating a certain food or something else i can avoid i probably would. though i doubt that i would believe in such a prediction anyway.

meh wouldnt worry, id carry on life as i was. if you knew how you were going to die then there is no avoiding it right, so why should we be cautious if we know how it ends. its like if you were reading a good book and someone told you the ending, do you stop reading it or keep going to the end?

I would just avoid anything that could lead to my death, like you stated though, if its something practical than of course you cant just stop doing it, but just being painstakingly careful and watching your every movement probably wouldnt hurt. Like I would probably shower on my knees since the chance of slipping is always there lol.

I'm not so sure it's possible to stop the inevitable. I'm pretty sure, that no matter how I die, I'm still going to die. Sure, there is nothing wrong with trying to delay death, (in fact, I encourage it) but we can't consume our lives with fear if it ending.

That depends on my type of death. If it were driving, I would be relatively content to get a job through the internet, work at home, and have the wall of my house reinforced with titanium. But if it were something like a piano falling on my head, I suppose there wouldn't be much I could do about it. Now for a more interesting scenario: What would you guys do if your death was prophesied to be at the hands of zombies?

There's no use fighting against the inevitable. I imagine if my cause of death was already written in stone then, I imagine, the time and place would be as well. I'd just continue going about my life as I normally do.

Well, that would depend on my way to go. If it was something lame, like choking, I'd try to avoid it. But if it was something cool, like being squashed by a giant monster, or in a zombie apocalypce, it wouldn't be so bad. Oh, and I'd definetly would like to go not alone and to be one of the last people to die... As you see, I've given it some thought... Spooky, isn't it?

Baths take alot longer than showers though. Dont always have the time for baths, and if you are at risk of dying in the shower, that means that drowing in the bath is a danger too.

I'm having flashbacks to the movie "Minority Report". For me personally, I would make it completely impossible for me to ever die the way in question by strict avoidance. For example, if I knew that I was going to die in a car accident, then I'd have a perfectly valid excuse to always have the wife go pick up groceries, new video games, etc. I, on the other hand, would have no choice but to sit in front of a computer or a TV all day so as to avoid the possibility of dying in an auto accident. You know...how Tom Cruise's character in Minority Report SHOULD have acted. :P

If i know that i am going to die in a car crash, then i am going to die in a car crash, given the hypothetical fact that i am going to die in a car crash. I cannot do anything about it, it is inevitable, so acting upon given data is irrational, since it would be like fighting the rising sun. I would acknowledge my defeat, realize that there is apparently an empirical size that goes by the name of "fate" and then pick up religion and become a highly devout member of the catholic church, preferrably in the role of a modern paladin.

It is usually inevitable because you don't know that you're gonna die (in normal circumstances.) If know it'll happen though, you might as well commit suicide as I suggested! @_@

If I knew I was going to die in a car accdient, I'd just live my life. For instance, if I avoided driving, I'd die being hit as a pedestrian. Same with riding a bike, or a motorcyle, or even riding the bus (it would be a one in a million shot, but I can see it happening. Hell, even if I stayed home, I'd hear a knock at the door, and when I would go to open it, I would get run over by a car. So... there's no point in avoiding somethign you know is unavoidable.
