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] 2 points 8 hours ago

That is truly inspired. Thank you.

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] 1 points 5 hours ago

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] 0 points 10 hours ago (1 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] 1 points 7 hours ago

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

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

Opioid overdose in a pit full of puppies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day 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] 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours 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] 12 points 1 day 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] 2 points 1 day 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] 7 points 1 day 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.

Death by snoo snoo

Death by snusnu

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, I am at the point a med-sci student could convince me to let them attempt to preserve my brain.

My life now is such that life in a VR* network ran by non-profit scientists in the future would be an improvement. Though I would like to have options for existence, so long as homeostasis is not an issue (ideally organic and symbiotic systems rather than fully tech). Toasters should get to enjoy nature once-in-a-while, too.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Heroin overdose would probably be alright.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

DMT + skydiving from the edge of the atmosphere

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours 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 22 hours ago

So, just like life then

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day 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] 3 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day 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 1 day 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

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.

Snuggled up together naked.

Oh, wait - I thought my text-to-speech app said "youth in Asia..."

🤷

EDIT: Too many serious folks in here...
