    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

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

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

        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

      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).
