Neither but if I had to choose I would choose when. So I can get all my affairs figured out and have fun the days before

Neither if that were an option. If I had to choose one though, I'd rather know how I think. If I knew when it would completely change my perception of time and every moment I was alive would just be leading up to the inevitable, particularly if I was destined to die young.

What if you’d die from car crash, since you wouldnt know when, would you stress out whenever you see cars or would you avoid getting in the car at all

It's not much better of an alternative, but I guess I'd rather go with that than finding out I may only have a year or two left.

I would choose how, since if for example it's a death that I could avoid then I would definitely do anything to avoid it to life longer. If I know that I will die of old age then I would be definitely more chill for the rest of my life. It's a win win.

How, cause I'd really like to know to worry about that bridge before I come to it

possibly better not to know but even if you knew how you would die you probably couldnt escape it.
I read once about a woman who was told by a fortune teller that she would die in a plane crash so all her life she avoided planes and went on honeymoon by boat but when she got to the hotel a plane crashed into it and she died.

When I die. If you know the day it doesn’t matter how it happens. Where as if you know how your consciously going to be living wondering if todays today whenever you are around the cause.

When. It would let me know how much time I have to get my family best took care of after I passed.

When. I'll leave how up to surprise. Easier for long term planning.
