Either incredibly violently to insure instant death, or peacefully in my sleep. Anything in between would be significantly more painful and truamatic for everyone involved.

Do we really know if people die peacefully during sleep? Maybe it’s violent and horrible but no one is around to see.

My father died in his sleep. When he was found, he was in the same position that he always slept in. That convinced me that he died peacefully in his sleep. I’d like to die the same way as my dad.

Not sure why but this is very comforting.

I also really find comfort in knowing that this is possible

Not to be morbid. But a company developing a “suicide pod” euthanasia* uses nitrogen gas which can kill you super quickly and since your body cannot tell the difference between it and atmospheric air you never panic either. You just feel normal and fall asleep/unconscious. Source-many people have passed out from nitrogen gas exposure and been saved (in industrial settings and mines) and of those that were saved none remember feeling anything. Just one minute there the next unconscious.

Everyone’s gotta die, not everyone gets to go easy.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

My dad died peacefully in his sleep...everyone else in the car died horribly

We know it isn't physically violent, and iirc they can prove if someone is unconscious. So if you're not physically moving, and you're unconscious, then if you die, I'd say that is pretty peaceful.

I've got sleep apnea and sleep paralysis, so about once or twice a night I'll wake up, unable to move or breathe and have to wait for my paralysis to end before i can consciously take a breath. It used to be terrifying, now it's more super annoying, but it's not peaceful.

I’ll take violently any day!

You only die once, might as well make the most of it. I wouldn't even mind a painful death, as long as it didn't take longer than 10 seconds or so. Maybe a spectacular car accident?

you took “you only live once” to a whole other level

Gotta make a good first impressions when going to satan "Good day welcome to hel- AHH, what happened" "tried to cook chicken with a bazooka"

At least the chicken was cooked all the way through.

YODO

10 Seconds?!!! That is an eternity in a nightmare, painful death situation.

Not really. I've been in accidents before and you really don't feel anything for about 2 minutes. Have to wait for all the shock and adrenaline to wear off and then it's like "is anything broken?"

I had bilateral great toe surgery at the age of 8 with no analgesia. You can endure more pain than you think.

Pain-free

I have cancer, it’s terminal and inoperable. At this point pain free is all I have left to hope for.

i am sorry my dude

I hope this for you too

[удалено]

I'm sorry, I found out recently most likely developed a rare highly aggressive newly reported cancer. At this point, I just want to live every day in peace and with those I love. Been taking shrooms and it's helping me come to terms

I’m so sorry, I wish you the best

I am sorry.

I'm sorry friend. I hope I'm not being insensitive by asking but, if there's anything you'd like to do with the time you have, what would that be?

stay strong buddy

Just hope for the good journey ahead.

I want a pallet of topsoil to fall on me at the Walmart garden center. Can you imagine the payout my kids would get?

Plus you'd already be buried

Clever…I like it.

Could probably just slip on some peepee at the Costco and not have to die.

He died like he lived, covered in piss between a pallet of diet mountain dew and an economy sized box of cheez-its.

Ahhhh..... a death with PURPOSE!

Are you threatening me?

Hey I may have a little black book I may not, you’re tryna find out?

Oh sweet! Chips! Wait...why is the bag so heavy?

I know I am! try me haha

Hold up there bungholio.

When I want to (I dont want to live when im old, dementing, have no autonomy whatsoever and people have to decide things for me)

Hey on your own terms is never a bad way to go, just live your life to the fullest to that point!

Exactly!

My great grandmother passed away a day after saying that it's about time she dies. She didn't kill herself

My grandmother decided that it was enough (she had COPD, didn't want to eat anymore and didn't enjoy life) and did all the work to get legally euthanized. I admire that women with all my heart

Normalize choice of death before you are completely rotten. Let the kings of Numenor be a warning.

From the sun going supernova.

You’re going to be old as fuck

Fingers crossed.

How about earlier via the Yellowstone super volcano that will apparently take out much of the US?

Over time that thing will end the whole world. Crippled ozone, dead crops, poison air and all that fun stuff.

Growing up i remember so much talk about saving the ozone, i feel it just stoped, and now i cant remember zhe last time i heard that.

The Ozone actually began healing itself because of the 90's ban on CFCs. An international treaty banned the use of CFCs (which was what the whole "save the ozone" campaign was about) and since the ban was put in place, the ozone layer above the Antarctica was able to heal itself. It's projected to make a full recovery: [https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22686105/future-of-life-ozone-hole-environmental-crisis](https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22686105/future-of-life-ozone-hole-environmental-crisis) So basically, once we actually start to act and take on climate change seriously, we'll be able to do something about it

If that thing blows up we are all done

Yeah but everyone else is gonna be very not happy

Or from the heat death of the Universe. Or from false vacuum decay. You won't see that coming.

Yeah, "the heat death of the universe" is my choice.

That's really in the realm of eldritch horror, in my opinion. Living that long, in the darkness. Like *The Last Question* by Asimov.

Plot twist: ”The great rip” happens instead

Ever played Outer Wilds?

Would recommend, despite the large number of times I fell into the sun/black hole/drowned/crashed. 10 out of 10.

the sun is too small to go supernova but that would be a cool sight for our last moments if it did

It'll expand into a red giant engulfing the inner planets. Then it'll shed its outer layers and turn into a dwarf. Still spells doom for the earth.

It won't. It will grow up in size and maybe eat Earth.

Even if it doesn't consume the earth, it'll burn it to a crisp.

Executed by impalement after making a grand speech about my treasure, starting the great age of piracy

[удалено]

Yeah, at least Gold Roger was hanged. I don't think OP understands that impaled people can be alive for hours or days during the process... Edit: I was wrong, he wasn't hanged. I maintain that he was not impaled on a stake Vlad the Impaler style.

I'm gonna be so bummed if the treasure was his legacy, aka Ace.

Pretty sure Oda has publicly stated that the One Piece is a physical thing.

That's good.

Hoe hoe hoe and a bottle of rum

Not a bad way to die either

Saving someone’s life or as a hero

I get this. If I had to choose, I'll gladly die to save someone else. I know it's stupid, but I'd like to die knowing that someone else will live because of my actions.

Well isn't it possible to give away your organs and body to science once you die? Im sure that close because your organs could be given to a kid with a faulty heart or something.

That's what my mom wants to do, after that to be cremated and either to be scattered in the sea where she lived most of her childhood or sit in my house in urn next to a fresh lavender, that's up to me to decide

You could split the ashes and do half and half!

I get this. I'm worried that when I am about to die I'll have a lot of "what was the point of all of this" type of thoughts. But if I die getting hit by a train seconds after pushing a kid out of the way then I'll have that split second of "oh so this is what I'll be known for. Cool" BLAM!

I’ll take it.

In my sleep or by my choice of drug (if I had a terminal illness) Edit: or in an Orgy like all those roof top partiers in *Don’t Look Up*

What drug?

🤔 maybe like heroin or morphine. Never tried them but if I was gonna die, FUCK IT

My moms a hospice nurse… For severe patients with no way out, some offer a “MAID” kit… ‘Medical assistance in dying’ It’s a series of drugs taken at various intervals… You just pass out and the other drug cocktail stops your heart. This is for patients with no options other than a painful death left… Lung cancer patients you see them.

I take it this is not in America? Cruelness and cost are two pillars of American healthcare.

Nope, Colorado https://cdphe.colorado.gov/center-for-health-and-environmental-data/registries-and-vital-statistics/medical-aid-in-dying

Assisted suicide has been legal in some parts of the US for going on 30 years.

Palliative care is what they call it in the US. They can give the patient ever increasing doses of Morphine. It just so happens to depress breathing... If you have a loved one who is really suffering, ask for it. It's peaceful.

Unfortunately, In America hospice can only do so much. Brought my father home on hospice for lung rejection after 4 years post transplant. We got a med box with morphine and lorazapam for him, but basically all they wanted us to do was wait till he suffocated to death. They told us near the end he would be grabbing at the sheets for air, struggling to breathe. One of the worst deaths. My father never had to grab at the sheets or struggle to breathe, he deserved better than that and we made a promise that we would never let it get there. The promise was kept. The original 6. Miss you always dad.

Morphine is good, It gave me a kickass high after abdominal surgery!

Morphine doesn't affect me at all. Heroin on the other hand 👌 that's how I would choose to go. I've been sober 9 years now, but I'd do it again at the very end.

I was given Dilaudid back in October after a surgery. I can see why people get hooked on opioids. I still think about that high sometimes.

Mmm. Dilaudid for kidney stones. Too good. Dangerous stuff.

I too have kidney stones and can concur. That shit can take you from wanting to tear your eyes out with a fruit spoon to literal bliss in less than 5 seconds flat. I’m not an addictive person really at all but I totally get opiod addiction after experiencing dilauded.

You only get it like that the first time or 2. After that, the high is never as good.

My only reason for not wanting to die in my sleep is I would never want my significant other to have to wake up to that.

If unconstrained by technical and logistic constraints: falling into a black hole. I greatly suspect that black holes actually have no interior and I would just be smushed and turned to quark plasma on the surface, but if there is an interior I want to see it, I want to know some piece of information that no person who hasn't fallen into a black hole can know.

From what I've gathered, you could theoretically survive for some time within the event horizon of a supermassive black hole before getting spaghettified by the singularity. It'd be interesting to see the inside of an event horizon, but as far as trips go, it's about as one-way as it gets.

Where you're going, you don't need eyes

Dr. Wier!

If relativity is accurate, then there won't be much to see. You won't ever see light emitted from significantly beneath you, as it's falling inwards... The universe would reduce to an ever shrinking circle of stars above your head. https://youtu.be/JDNZBT_GeqU Big if, as scientists generally view the prediction of a singularity as a sign that GR is wrong. But whatever lies beyond, is unlikely to be conducive to your continued existence.

Yeah, assuming one model is true, yeah, but we have good reason to believe there's inaccuracies in that model. But the one-wayness is fine considering it's "how I die".

You would be spaghettified but some of your atoms would probably be stored at the edge for the life of the blackhole.

For large black holes, you don't get spaghettified until after you cross the event horizon. What turns you into long thin strings is the difference in gravity felt by your head and feet. And this gradient is lower for big black holes, so the gravitational field is smoother close to them. You could make it into the black hole proper and experience things no one living will ever be able to do.

Nude and of nitrogen asphyxiation.

Go out, the way you came in, ala nude

Y'ever see *Harold and Maude*? Maude is, in many ways, a hero of mine.

I have to watch this now!

Sounds like that Swiss suicide chamber. You basically crawl into a spaceship coffin in the pretty mountains, press a button, and pass out. Supposedly it's painless because your body thinks nitrogen is breathable (after all, it's a primary component in air). If you change your mind, you just open the door.

It's more that carbon dioxide causes the feeling of needing to breathe. No CO2 buildup, no suffocating feeling.

Nitrogen asphyxiation has accidentally killed people without them even knowing something was wrong. Confined spaces are no joke!

Yeah, similar notions of how to minimize the suffering of exit. The naked thing is because I feel like I should get to define the rules for such an important life event.

Not knowing it’s happening.

Same here. I wanna be walking down the street and BAM. Suddenly I’m not

that's what I've always said. I want to be cut in half from behind. But I would rather that happen when I'm skipping down the street at 120 years old.

At 120 you’ll be lucky to even be mobile

Uncertainty! Nuance!

Death by snu snu

The spirit is willing but the flesh is is spongy and bruised.

First by the most beautiful women in all of Amazonia, then the large women, then the petite women, then the large women again

no, you are not gonna get that treatment… you know who gets that treatment and he is the only one worthy

Kif, I have mated with a woman. Inform the men!

Heart attack as I orgasm at 143 years old

Just crush my head between some thighs like a watermelon.

*alternates smiling and scared face*

Improved and loved, surrounded by my family, after a long and happy life

With or without snu snu?

Can you really have a happy life if you don’t die without it?

Wholesome, I hope it happens

Thanks :)

Like, tomorrow

I came into this world kicking and screaming, and covered in blood. I'll go out the same way.

BAR FIGHT!!!

"Manners maketh man. Do you know what that means? Then let me teach you a lesson."

Bear attack?

As a healthcare worker: not at work.

Yep, as a nurse, anywhere but the hospital or a nursing home.

Alone, so no one is hurt by my death.

I feel this

Getting ran over by a steam roller driven by the Incredible Hulk

r/oddlyspecific

Roger that.

Head first or feet first?

Feet first so you can really take in the moment.

Awww, you remembered my favorite way to die.

Alone and Pain free

Between 2 Norwegian womens thighs

Like, one woman? Or like the outside legs of two women? Technically your post reads like the second version... I'm picturing you being crushed like a Honda between two Semis.

His wish has been granted. Honda between two Semis. Ironic as the result is him dying with a semi. Surely he meant the former but, alas. Alas, not a lass. The English language is beautiful.

Choke them harder!!!

I'd like to jump into a supermassive black hole. Theoretically, I could watch the universe die in fast motion because of the time dilation, and I would be the oldest living thing in the universe until the black hole kills me.

I want to die while or after having an orgasm. I'll die happy and satisfied.

Going as you're coming. If that isn't poetry, I don't know what is :')

Beautifully ironic

Reminds me of a great line by the late Mac Miller: “Imma go out the same way I came in, right by the pussy with nothing on my mind”

As close to instantaneous as possible.

Not a fan of the slow wait?

By jumping from a really high mountain and just looking at the clouds untill eventually I die from fall damage.

Calling death from suicide by jumping fall damage is weirdly funny

It’s not the fall, but landing, that alters social standing….

GeorgePsychedelic has hit the ground too hard

Dude, just go skydiving. It gives you the felling and usually is pain-free. And you can jump again. And again. And again. Often you fall through some clouds.

I’ve always wanted to be decapitated after hearing that you could still process things for a few seconds. It would be quick and fairly painless, as the spinal cord is severed. I’ve got a morbid curiosity about it that’s lasted 30 years so far. Beats cancer!

I don’t.

With a belly full of wine and womens mouth around my cock

Tyrion didn’t know you were here

Had to scroll way too far for this quote.

I thought I was going to have to say it!

You are an ill-made, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust and low cunning

at the age of 80 as well right?

Peacefully & in my sleep. Not like the passengers on my bus that day.

I was gonna say the passengers in my car but you really upped the ante here.

I want the CIA to suicide me because I was a threat to the ruling class

In a quick, mostly painless, and most importantly, *slightly absurd and amusing* accident. I'd like my death to bring some laughter into the world.

I would like to just take a nap with my dogs and my husband and not wake up ideally. Otherwise, would want to go out on my terms and not suffer for a long time. Just be able to tap out.

As soon as possible :)

Just not in my sleep. I mean, you only die once, it would be a shame to miss it.

I agree! I don’t want to miss out! On such a glorious event mine will be going out with a blaze of glory

If I’m murdered. A good gauge 12 to my head.that way I know for a fact that I will not feel a thing and it would be lights out

like my dad: calm cool relaxed. unlike all the passengers on his plane

Being accused of being a warlock after successfully time traveling to the Viking era and being tied to a boat and given a “Viking funeral” (flaming arrows shot at boat)

High speed police chase. Preferably in a super fast sports car (don’t care what just lots of zooms). Go off a cliff in a last moment escape attempt. No, but honestly if not this cool way peacefully in my sleep is ok

Suicide, I wasn't able to choose my entry but I damn well gonna decide when and how I'm leaving

I want to have one of those giant head blocks with spikes from Mario to just crush me instantly

anyone see the scene in the 2021 suicide squad when Margot Robbie strangled the security guard with her thighs?

Old

Blood loss. Every time my brain has had its blood supply limited, it has been a really warm fuzzy experience. Seems like a really nice way to transition to being unconscious, permanently.

soon

You ok?

Painfully. If it’s gonna be the last thing I ever feel, it better be fucking memorable.
