Potential Movie Spoilers (Its kinda the core plot tho)
Yes this is obviously in reference to Final Destination Movie/media-franchise
By vehicle I mean like anything. Bus, Train, Boat, Submarine (like the Titan lol), Plane, anything you would plausibly travel on in your lifetime.
For me it would depend on how vehemently they oppose going and how much money is invested in the travel. $20 taxi? Sure okay, we’ll walk or take a scooter. $1000 plane ticket? Fuck it, may as well die.
No, predicting the future by way of esoteric knowledge is not real. Anyone who says they can do it is delusional or lying to you.
I would believe them that they had the vision, I wouldn’t believe it would literally happen, but I would consider if it was a sign that the trip was not a good idea for some other reason.
I’m of the same mind.
I don’t necessarily believe in “supernatural”/“paranormal” type stuff but I am of the mind that a good chunk of the information we process is unconscious, and those “bad gut feelings” sometimes are a means of our bodies reacting to said information.
Now, it could also be anxiety, mental health crisis symptoms etc. but those are also technically reactions to things. Assessing what is actually being reacted to and if it’s worth changing entire plans over is the important part.
I’d ask them if they have a CO detector at home.
Plot Twist: Final Destination is actually just people halucinating from CO poisoning
It’s just a warning from the CO detector lobby. This is your brain on CO.
I don’t put stock in the paranormal/ supernatural, but I’ve seen every one of those movies, and I know that if you try to get out of the situation, you’ll end up in an even worse Rube Goldberg machine of death.
“Rusted. Tetanus. Nice one. I overlooked it. You tried to capitalize. But I caught you.”
Which was wrong. Tetanus is not caused by rust. It’s caused by punctures. You can get tetanus from a perfectly metallic silver nail. Rust just provides handy nooks and crannies for the tetanus microbe to sit and wait. If I remember right, it was a fishing hook on an unused pole in an otherwise clean house/ closet. Unlikely it would have tetanus lingering.
You’re right about tetanus not being caused by rust. But it’s not caused by sheer punctures, it is a serious disease of the nervous system caused by a toxin-producing bacterium called Clostridium tetani. It can often be found in soil, but yes, if you leave a perfectly clean silver nail in that soil (which is infected by the bacterium), then yes, you can get infected.

I’ve seen Final Destination.
I say we just get it over with because if it’s real, Death will just keep coming after us anyway because we fucked up his plan.
Frankly depends a lot on the person.
If it’s the neurotic/anxious one, definitely not.
If it’s the group’s inexplicable psychic, definitely yes.
They probably have this idea on any travel. If it doesn’t happen it’s forgotten. Selection bias.
I’d make them a bet. I’ll give them 10.000 euro right now, and if I don’t die, they give me 20k right back. Surely, if they had a true vision, they’d go for it, right?
If I had less time to think it over, I’d probably just laugh at them really really hard.
A vacation and the sweet release of death? That sounds far too good to be true. Obviously we still go on the holiday! It’s not every day that a psychic predicts your demise, it would be foolish to pass up such an opportunity. What better way to enjoy your time off than with the knowledge that you’re never going to have to go back?
If anything happens and we don’t die, I would want my friend to know I will be sorely disappointed. That two-bit clairvoyant will never hear the end of it if I have to live.
I’m currently marathoning the movies, and I’m like, one of those people who would bash the person freaking out. but, if it happened once, and turned out to be true, I would believe them if they said it a second time. also, I would not really care.
if it’s Boeing, I ain’t going ;) (Modern Boeings only, the older ones pre 737-Max8 are kinda safe)
Boeing or Airbus won’t matter if ATC is dark.
“Ah shit, I knocked all the plastic strips off the thing!”
I’d probably still go on the trip. I don’t believe in supernatural stuff, but even if they were right, didn’t Final Destination involve Death hunting down everyone who escaped the plane crash? I’d rather die quick on the plane (or maybe have a chance of living, maybe I was supposed to be one of the few survivors?) than deal with any of that.
As someone with mild travel anxiety, I’d probably be the one with the vision. And even if not, it would make a good excuse to skip the trip and stay home like I wanted to do in the first place.

This, LOL. My credulity is inversely proportional to how badly I want to go on this trip.
