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.
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.
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.
It's a great thought experiment to get us to think about what is truly important -
No one is going to answer "work more" or "continue to conform to other's expectations of me." or any other thing that we are taught to believe are important.
Sure having some savings is important, your health is important (except maybe not so much in this instance), but really life is about experiencing life not creating shareholder value or working hard to blend into the crowd just to make other people less uncomfortable.
I know I went off on a tangent, I do that often. But I've been thinking more about how in the west we are taught aggressively from a young age what is deemed important (work, money, prestige, name brand things, etc) and what is frivolous (hobbies, family, friends, etc) and then people wonder why life sucks. It doesn't suck, it's that you are trying to conform to something that goes against your true nature.
To answer the question: travel, spend time with people I love, play video games, eat more cheeseburgers, drink more beer.
Family. That's all. Use the remainder of my money to help fulfill some bucket list items for my parents, wife, siblings, and my kids. Try to write as much as I can and record as much as I can for my kids. Impart any wisdom I possibly can.
Travel - not so extravagant to put my family in debt after I pass but I've got a decent retirement fund and I have no qualms about spending a portion of it if I'm not going to need it to support me in the long term.
I'd probably fly into someplace random in Europe and just soak up different towns by train heading wherever the fuck my ADHD brain tells me to go next. It'd be wonderful.
Also, sex it up like I'm not going to be alive in 32 days.
Edit: Oh, I'd probably make sure to get a second opinion first.
I'm not certain where you live but even here in Canada (which does have issues with wait times for procedures which are wrongly viewed as elective/unimpactful) critical medicine like Oncology triaging will happen astoundingly fast.
Probably spend a lot of time with my friends. Try weed. Drink a bunch. Also just like right before I'm about to die, strip naked and start furiously masturbating, making sure to drop dead in the city center on some square where I'll be very visible :)
spend time doing what I like to do and enjoying the company of the people I love. play games, play magic, listen to music getting high... nights in the pool, just watching the moon reflection on the water...
I’d find out what heroin feels like in the final few days. It’d be just my luck that I’d have trouble finding anything of good quality, so I’d either not get the full desired experience or I’d OD on fentanyl.
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.
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 account 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.
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.

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.
Don't think it would be possible to be second to last or any other really
You became death locked the second he said it. You have just become immortal for a month.
Luigi
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.
Probably play some Shotgun Mario and Luigi..
Same.
Get a second opinion
“You got 5"
*5 what?*
"4 3 2 1"
(24 hours Joyner Lucas iirc)

That sounds like a nice way to spend it.
drugs
let's just say there's about to be another luigi on the news
Play Super Mario Bros as the second player for 31 days straight.
Duck Hunt second player is the best.
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.
Find another doctor because that one obviously has mental health issues.
Haters gonna hate. Don't let it get you down.
Hopefully you can schedule an appointment quickly

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I appreciate that. She was an amazing person. I told her she was just dying so she didn't have to suffer through another Trump presidency.
Sign up for all of the one-month free trials.
Get into the plumbing business
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.
I'll get myself a wikipedia page 😉

So you'll be my brother? Mario?

Wouldn't be too bad all things considered, all signs point to Silksong releasing on the 14th, so I’ll have a couple weeks to play it
The 14th of... 2036? 2175? Octembuary?
What signs?

Get another opinion.
Second opinion: "That other doctor had the month wrong, you only have 28 days to live"
After doing all the tests again they found that you have died already.
Family. That's all. Use the remainder of my money to help fulfill some bucket list items for my parents, wife, siblings, and my kids. Try to write as much as I can and record as much as I can for my kids. Impart any wisdom I possibly can.
Find a heroin dealer. It's about the only situation where I'd touch that stuff.
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’ve done ALMOST all of the drugs. I’m saving opiates for if I’m terminal.
I'm afraid what you heard me say is, "a lot of drugs". What I said is, "all the drugs".-
Space Engineers 2 is EA now…
I loved writing scripts for that game, looking forward to more.
Travel - not so extravagant to put my family in debt after I pass but I've got a decent retirement fund and I have no qualms about spending a portion of it if I'm not going to need it to support me in the long term.
I'd probably fly into someplace random in Europe and just soak up different towns by train heading wherever the fuck my ADHD brain tells me to go next. It'd be wonderful.
Also, sex it up like I'm not going to be alive in 32 days.

Probably takes two months for the first appointment from a new doctor....
I'm not certain where you live but even here in Canada (which does have issues with wait times for procedures which are wrongly viewed as elective/unimpactful) critical medicine like Oncology triaging will happen astoundingly fast.
Here's a hint, our medical infrastructure is crap even with private insurance to the point that someone executed a health insurance CEO recently.
You're ugly, too
Spend at least 28 of them trying to decide what to do. Then ultimately panic because I couldn't come up with anything for the last three days.
go complete aladeen
:D
:(
:D
:(
More like this:
\
Or more like that:

I have to aladeen it needs to be pointy.
I'd ask my boss for a day off.
Denied
Probably spend a lot of time with my friends. Try weed. Drink a bunch. Also just like right before I'm about to die, strip naked and start furiously masturbating, making sure to drop dead in the city center on some square where I'll be very visible :)
Withdraw all of my investment money, hop on a cruise ship, and live in the lap of luxury til I'm ready to die.
Then I jump off the ship.
I like your “luxury” attitude, but cruise ships are kinda gross. Crowded, too. Maybe a nice tropical vacation?
Spend time with my dog. Call mum daily. Party with friends, all on me.
Probably nothing because I would waste the time thinking about what I should do.
Tropical vacation with sex, drugs, and pizza
spend time doing what I like to do and enjoying the company of the people I love. play games, play magic, listen to music getting high... nights in the pool, just watching the moon reflection on the water...
Mostly cry
See how quickly I can drop that number to zero.
A bunch of drugs and go on a murdering spree
Literally nothing different.
You would go to work? Fuck that.
First stop: Arby's. I'm going to die anyways.
I’d find out what heroin feels like in the final few days. It’d be just my luck that I’d have trouble finding anything of good quality, so I’d either not get the full desired experience or I’d OD on fentanyl.
Study up on Luigi stuff
On my last day I would find a big cat sanctuary and play with them until they kill me.
Worth it
Feel hopeful.
Heroin!
"Can we speed that up a bit?"
"That long?"
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.

Tell you that hypotheticals fucking suck and for you to fuck off hourly for 31 days straight till I drop dead.
Not possible, you'd have to sleep.
I'll do it out of pure spite, would die anyway.
Play games, watch movies, spend time with family and split whatever money I got left with them.
I immediately sought a second opinion, but the earliest appointment was two months from now.
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 account in 31 days. I don't even know what to buy. Beef Jerky and RedBull?

Try gay sex now! It's fun.
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.
Cry because I have accomplished nothing with my life
I guess I've earned an extra scoop of ice cream.
Ask if there's an expedite process.
Didn't something almost identical get asked a few days ago?
Definitely convince my buddy with the second key that it's go time. 1:56, for you folks who this is new to.
