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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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).
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.
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.
