What will you do if you knew that you would die in one minute?

Realistic Answer

Employing the full power of my brain, I would panic for precisely 59 seconds of that minute.

The remaining second would be spent closing both eyes in frightened preparation for the unknown.

Quoranesque Answer

I would first electronically invest all available capital in VR/AR startups to my family’s future benefit. 12 seconds.

I would then write an heartfelt letter to my mother, thanking her, using my finest penmanship, for a rough but terrific-in-hindsight early childhood. She gave it the best shot an emotionally damaged adolescent could have been expected to give. 14 seconds.

I would, of course, then prepare a final cup of soul-enriching rose-hip tea, subtly elevated with a dollop of raw honey. Sure as hell don’t need the caffeine from ground Arabica beans at a stressful time like thi—actually, no, it wouldn’t kick in until long after I was gone. Fuck it. 19 seconds.

I would then hug everyone I’ve ever loved. That ‘warm’ sort of hug—the one after which both parties feel existentially refreshed by the rush of oxytocin. One after the other. All of them. 10 seconds.

With mere moments left, I would then masturbate. Alone. One last time. 5 seconds.

What a masterfully planned minute.
