Well if you only live once it doesn't matter if you die, If there's something else then you have something to look forward to. doesn't really matter.

It's not the full saying. People trim down what they say when they think the full sentiment can be assumed. "You only live once so you might as well make the most of it", or "you only live once so enjoy it while you can" are fuller sentiments. The idea is that you don't have forever to do everything you might ever want to do, and if you never choose to do anything worthwhile you are wasting your one shot at life.

It's an excuse people give themselves to take opportunities when they present themselves, especially opportunities that are otherwise bad ideas since good ideas have other better justifications and no real reasons to go against them.

It's just funny when people yell YOLO right before jumping into that pit of fire.

It’s like they know what’s gonna happen, does it anyways, and complained that it happened.

When it's time to adopt a new slogan - "the pain will set you free"

Yep. You'd think they'd value their one and only life a little more.
