Hell no.
Would you want to know the date of your own death?
Yes, only so I could then be a dick and create a time paradox by instantly killing myself to alter the future.
Absolutely. I wouldnt try to stop my death or anything because I am sure that type of thing is unstoppable. I would just take the final couple months of my life to do what I want and just take time for myself. I would quit my job, go places, see my family, eat all my favorite foods, and just mess around in general. Knowing that information would be freeing in a way.
I would not like to know when I am going to die, but I'd love to know how I am going to die. That would really keep me on my toes. "Drowned in a bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder? ~ Time to switch to New England style."
Hell yes. Since when i was a kid, i get paranoid about when i'm going to die. Knowing when would make me change some stuff in my life, but i would enjoy it more.

Or you wouldn't die, but would break all of your bones! Saved by a miracle! Wooray!@officervanhalen said:
It's a paradoxically impossible scenario. What would happen if I then jumped off a building, if it couldn't change?
But no, I wouldn't. I like the idea of not knowing.
You wouldnt be able to bring yourself to jump.
The goal with my polls is to find questions where the results are relatively even, like a 50/50 split (like this Matrix pill poll). I'm disappointed this was not one of the questions, but at least it isn't totally one-sided.

Yes of course, it would be awesome and I can never understand why people say no to this question.
because it would drive you crazy trying to make every moment count, which is something you can't do in real life while making a living. Unless you are like rich before it happens.

Lucky for me I'm not worry about death. I ain't got much to live for anyway.
That sounds like it came right out of Max Payne 3.
No. I take solace in the fact that I might not wake up in the morning. It reduces my stress to think that I could have a surprise liquidation of all my problems at any time. In the words of Joey Pants "Ignorance is bliss."
Sure, how could that be a bad thing. It would just make you realize what you may or may not need to prioritize. If I know I'm going to die next year, then I'm going to alter my lifestyle to get the most out of that year as I possibly can. On the other hand if I was going to die in a year and I was not able to know that, I would keep living my life thinking I'm going to live decades on and then maybe I won't have experienced as much as I wanted to in life.
Same thing applies to the opposite scenario. If I know I'm going to die at 70 or something, then I know I can take this time while I'm young to plan out what I want to do or take the time when I'm young to explore the world because I know I have a lot of time later. I guess it also depends or not, and to to what degree, you obsessively worrying about whether or not you are spending your time efficiently.
