Opioid overdose in a pit full of puppies.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree about the OD but prefer a warm bed more than puppies

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

Nice try, robot. I'm more of a kitten guy, but no HUMAN turns down final puppies.

If you're a roller coaster enthusiast, you might get a kick out of the Euthanasia Coaster, or as I like to call it The Sui-Slide

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Elegant. But is 10Gs pleasurable? Maybe if you got really high first.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

The G forces deprive the brain of oxygen, something that will get you extremely high all by itself. Ever get nitrous oxide at the dentist? It would be like that but much more intense, although I'd think you would become unconscious almost immediately within the first loop so the high would be very short lived.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 weeks ago

I want to die in my sleep like my grandpa, not screaming for my life like his passangers...

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nobody mentions an instant divine lightning strike at the climax while sleeping with a bunch of porn stars at once while high? I am severely disappointed in the lack of creativity here

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

That is truly inspired. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Once I had to get a surgery, and in recovery was waking up, nurse thought it too soon and said "let's just dial this up" and put me back to sleep with a dose of whatever opiate was in the IV and that is absolutely the only way I'd want to do that. So gentle.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Opiates are pretty awsome.

There's something lost when it's refined to a medical product tho. The high becomes cold.

Fresh black opium goo is superior, imo.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

That's fine, I just want someone experienced to dose it like that. It was soft and pleasant. Really my first thought when I got home was that would be such a wonderful way to die. Not surprised or in pain, there's enough of that in life, at the end you shouldn't be worrying.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't know about pleasant but I imagine breathing in nitrogen is among the least unpleasant ways to go. You first pass out and then suffocate while you're unconscious. I believe that carbon monoxide acts in a similar fashion.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The first nitrogen execution in the USA did not go well. And arguably the first nitrogen suicide pod they tried in Switzerland went even worse.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you look up industrial accidents with nitrogen, it isn't at all like the accounts of that execution. It takes one breath of pure nitrogen and you'll just fade out. There have been plenty of accidents where someone connected a respirator up to nitrogen and put it on, and they passed out immediately and didn't even know to take it off. If you are trying to hold your breath for as long as you can, it is very painful as the buildup of CO2 in the body is what triggers us to breathe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, that's the thing with gasses like nitrogen, helium or carbon monoxide: it feels like breathing air except since it contains no oxygen you'll just go from feeling light headed to passing out and suffocating. CO2 would otherwise work the same way except that inhaling pure CO2 instantly causes panic and the sense of suffocation.

Infact, I've heard of people who euthanize pet rodents with CO2 and recommend others doing the same which is terrifyingly bad advice. That's a fucking awful way to go. Just imagine being so ignorant and doing that to your pet. Makes me feel sick to even think about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Someone forgot to tell them to use the gas and not the liquid

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No, I don't think it does. Carbon monoxide is actively poisonous to you while Nitrogen just displaces Oxygen.

Very relevant to all of these discussions is the fact that your body doesn't give you a feeling of suffocation from a lack of oxygen but from an abundance of carbon dioxide. This is why if you exhale while holding your breath it provides some relief.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I figured that, in addition to no feeling of suffocation, nitrous oxide would also provide a righteous high.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Carbon monoxide similarly replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells. There are even suicide tutorials online by using carbon monoxide as it's a painless way to go.

Also, this is not advice and it's also potenttially lethal to the people coming to save you. Don't do it and if you do, for the very least, leave a sign warning others about it.

we don't know how much time passed between when they realized they wouldn't be coming home and when they imploded...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

In Wagner’s estimation, it takes 13 milliseconds for the brain to process information from the eye, a hundred milliseconds to feel pain. But 13 milliseconds into the implosion, there is nothing left intact of the cylindrical section of the Titan.

“They would have been dead ten milliseconds ago,” says Wagner. “They wouldn’t really feel anything or see anything coming. They would just be instantly dead

I meant when they knew they were going to die before it even imploded

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, I misread that, fair point. 👍

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Between the first crack and them dying was a fraction of a second

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I meant when they knew they were going to die before it even imploded

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever it was, I'll lay good odds it probably felt far too long...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Heroin overdose would probably be alright.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Unless you go out like Jane, choking on your vomit.

Doesn't matter when you're flying through paradise.

DMT + skydiving from the edge of the atmosphere

Death by snoo snoo

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

I was in the hospital back in January, I woke up one morning and they told me my heart stopped for 8 seconds. I never knew. Seems like an ideal way to go.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I was thinking sex + nitrous bag but I can't think of a way for them to work together smoothly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What combination is that...

But to answer your question, the most pleasant would probably be the quickest. Maybe shotgun to the head. Best if I didn't even expect it and didn't know it was going to happen, just suddenly no consciousness during any normal activity, all of the person erased, nothing, but that's obviously impossible (to be euthanasia).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I figure you'd want to be strongly distracted by a great pleasure. Then, while you're all caught up in that, woosh.

I hear that heroin od is nice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you a junkie medium?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Would be hard for the other person in that scenario to get in the mood

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Especially with me holding a plastic bag over their head

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

most pleasant

It depends on your kind of perversion, obviously.

For normal people, it is no pleasure at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

So, just like life then

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I would just prefer to live the rest of my life in the matrix

I don't know the science, but I would venture hypothermia.

That said, the fact someone is looking for painless ways to go often puts into question how bad their life is, as someone with a truly bad life could be said to see even the most painful ways to die as a drop in the bucket. Based on such thinking, I would recommend that anyone who is thinking of doing the unthinkable spends more time rethinking it.
