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.

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.
If "I'm dying in 31 days" doesn't work as a pickup line, then fuck my life anyways.
Luigi
Same, same. If immediate consequences don't matter, fuck it.
Get a second opinion
“You got 5"
5 what?
"4 3 2 1"
Doctor says "I got bad news and even worse news. The bad news is, you have 24 hours to live"
I said "Oh my god Doc! What could be worse than that?"
Doctor comes back, "I couldn't get ahold of you yesterday!
(24 hours Joyner Lucas iirc)
Probably play some Shotgun Mario and Luigi..
Same.
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.
That sounds like a nice way to spend it.
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.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Play Super Mario Bros as the second player for 31 days straight.
Mario Party is a game where everyone participate.
Just saying.
I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
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.
let's just say there's about to be another luigi on the news
drugs
Find another doctor because that one obviously has mental health issues.
Hopefully you can schedule an appointment quickly

Sign up for all of the one-month free trials.
Get into the plumbing business
Get another opinion.
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'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.
- Set up my will.
- Dispose of the accumulated cruft.
- Get the house ready to sell.
- Document all my accounts.
- Move money as appropriate.
- Provide for preservation/distribution of my genealogy research.
- Work to prepare my friends and family for life without me.
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?

Cry because I have accomplished nothing with my life
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.

Mostly cry
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.
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.
On my last day I would find a big cat sanctuary and play with them until they kill me.
Worth it
Spend time with my dog. Call mum daily. Party with friends, all on me.
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...
Probably nothing because I would waste the time thinking about what I should do.
