• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I'm pretty sure this is as unsafe as it gets, with a risk of severe injuries to myself and severe property damage, but just for the sake of being thorough and considering every possibility, I'll ask about this thought that crossed my mind.

I've mentioned previously that the doors in my home are pretty much the only strong structures attached to the walls/ceilings that I could hang from, but there is one other thing that sort of fits that description, and I even considered using it in combination with a door...Though I still greatly question the security of it, mainly because I've never heard of this being done before in a hanging ctb.

In the tool room, which has some connections to the sewer, there's a thick metal pipe overhead, extending across, pretty much from wall to wall. It's quite large and looks tough, but the sheer fact that it's a pipe makes me wary of it. Does anyone know if an old metal pipe can hold the weight of a person? Because if it broke, that would be a nightmare for my entire family. That's why I'm not too serious about this option at the moment, and intend to stick with just doors for now. But if there is any chance of it being a decent alternative, it'd be good to know.

I think it's risky to use old metal pipe for hanging purpose. The extreme pressure exerted by the rope (while holding your whole mass) on the poor pipe surface might cause the pipe to bend or even shattered. It would be a messy thing to deal with.

If you are wary of it don't, if it breaks you will be in for a lot of trouble and why have the added stress? Can you find a tree or forest or something outside?

Thanks for the good answers to such a ridiculous question.

I guess I was just feeling determined to consider and discuss every little variation that could possibly be done on my hanging, says a lot about my state of mind. I must be getting especially restless with the delays in getting my rope. You're both right, I definitely shouldn't do it, both because of the uncertainty and my nervousness about the whole idea. Thank you for discussing it though, and I'll shift my full attention back to the doors.

Its not a ridiculous question at all, i find my own mind running through all worst case scenarios, that if i become really desperate and dont get my N what would i do then? It really helps saying it out loud and getting everyones input. And for those who dont have money or live with family its harder, they have to be more creative and investigate more options.
