Help least painful way to die ever?

Can you provide any study reporting unconsciousness in under 15 seconds? The best results I've seen are 16 - 17 seconds or 17 - 20 seconds for unconsciousness and 12 - 14 seconds for the onset of symptoms from over-ventilation with nitrogen

Most of the time, you'll see unconsciousness listed around 16–20 seconds, depending on factors like breathing rate, prior saturation, and variability. That said, there are a couple of studies that support symptom onset just under 15 seconds, especially with over-ventilation beforehand.

A few sources from my bookmarks:

• The Copeland Report on Nitrogen Hypoxia (written for legal and clinical review) notes visual dimming at 8–10 seconds, clouding of consciousness by 15–16 seconds, and unconsciousness between 17–20 seconds:

• The U.S. Chemical Safety Board training materials also reference oxygen-deficient environments causing rapid collapse after 1–2 breaths, especially in enclosed spaces with pure nitrogen:

• "A Study of the Human Tolerance to Oxygen Deficiency in Relation to the Inhalation of Inert Gases" by E. M. Camporesi and D. B. Barker: This study explores human tolerance to oxygen deficiency when inhaling inert gases, noting that loss of consciousness can occur within 15 to 20 seconds under certain conditions.
• "Sudden Loss of Consciousness Due to Oxygen Deficiency" by R. H. Clarke: This paper discusses cases of sudden unconsciousness resulting from oxygen-deficient environments.
• "Inert Gas Asphyxiation: Time to Unconsciousness and Death" by J. D. Ernsting: This research examines the timeframes associated with loss of consciousness and death due to inert gas inhalation, indicating that unconsciousness typically occurs within 15 to 20 seconds.

But yah, you're probably more right than I was initially! Most of the documented cases put true unconsciousness more around 16–20 seconds, especially in controlled conditions. I overshot a bit.

That said, there's enough variability in ventilation rates, individual oxygen reserves, and pre conditioning (like hyperventilation) that symptom onset can still show up a little earlier for some. So while sub 15 seconds for full LOC isn't typical, I still think it's possible, just not something to bet precision on.

Appreciate the correction though! Accuracy matters.

How about jumping from at least 7 stories up, with landing on back of head?

Bet it hurts

Probably be fentanyl/opiod overdose or N.

Then gas and SN

Excluding scenarios like Titan submersible, or being into Ground Zero of a Nuke, the Top3, The Holy Grail is as following (Yes, most methods are painful, but believe me, those ARE painless!!)

• Nembutal, or barbiturates in general,
• Inert gas / Exit bag
• Opioid overdose (ideally with other CNS depressants like Benzodiazepines, GABAergics etc)

Closely followed is (I guess, because it may hurt but for a split second) massive but super short trauma to the head, like: intraoral shotgun blast, guillottine, or landing from 50+ onto concrete head first.

intoxicated can you draw a picture of your n20 method ? I read your description I couldn't picture it in my mind.

I know some people might disagree with me but death is pain. No matter what you choose. You will feel pain.
dying "peacefully" in your sleep is not true.

I think from what was written before are those barbiturates, then gas and SN, problem with tho later is you can end as vegetable so you must have backup plans
