watching down on us
I would actually get shit done.
Banned entirely for telling FE that he was being rude and not contributing to the discussion. I shall watch down from the goon heavens.
complete noob
I wouldn't do shit.

I'd drop out of college and lose my job. Yeah, I'd much rather live as if I know I'll reach eighty.

I would worry a lot about dying and fail at things as a result.

There's a Pearls Before Swine comic where Rat mentions this philosophy to Pig, and Pig starts running around screaming "oh no I'm gonna die!". I get the feeling that, despite my good intentions, I'd act like Pig. I'd also give away lots of my possessions and delete/destroy various personal documents I don't want people seeing (e.g. private e-mail correspondence).

This would just be a license for me to do dangerous things to other people.

I would get nothing done, because what's the point of planning for tomorrow if today is your last day on earth? I mean, I could probably do good deeds, and maybe that would make me a better person or a happier person. But stuff like getting a degree would be right out.
Be not afraid...

And any degree you can get in one day is probably not worth having.

I think it very soon would be my last day, since I'd stop planning for the future altogether.

I just took it as an admonishment against procrastination, pro 'setting your affairs in order'.If there is anything you think you MUST do before dying, do it today. Confessions, apologies, recompense,.. anything you profess that it is important but you haven't done it yet.
I agree with the OP, my life would get more intense and weirder in both good and bad ways.
'Don't beg for anything, do it yourself, or else you won't get anything.'
I agree in the non-literal sense of getting things squared away, set your life in motion rather than saving it for tomorrow. 'cause if I literally treated it as my last day, I'd pretty much have my last meal (KFC original chicken, birthday cake, and a fine wine).
On a more moment-to-moment level, I prefer to think, when I have a free moment, "what could I do right now that's not a time-waster?" Time-wasters being anything I could do forever and not finish or start anything (ie, Internet surfing). Works wonders at getting back to work on studying and hobbies.
Tremendous increase of stress levels. Would probably drop dead much sooner than necessary.

We'd behave like crazy people. Or at least, I would.
Depressing thing is I don't know what I'd do with my last day on Earth. Make a lot of goodbyes I suppose.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.
Pink's alright, I guess.
Do a lot of wet humping.
If this were *really* taken seriously, what sort of effects would it have on your life? I suppose in my case I would be a bit more intense and get a lot weirder than usual.
