    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.
