Discussion You get to press a button that tortures you with worst pain of your life for 10 seconds, after which you get a guaranteed death. Would you do it?

[encore]

if not, why? would you do it if it was 3 seconds instead? 1 second?

and if you would, for how much longer would you be willing to withstand the pain if you knew with 100% certainty death would eventually come? what is the cut off point?

i know a lot of people are anxious about their method failing. surviving an attempt is no doubt a traumatizing experience. but if you were offered a button and the only condition was pain worse than you've ever felt for a short duration of time - would that stop you (eventually making you somewhat "gamble" with other methods) or would you take certainty over comfort?

i'm curious where people's values lie in terms of comfort vs likelihood of success.

 

[ToANewWorld]

No thank you. If I am going to go I rather it be painless. 10 seconds is a long time.

 

[7BLue7]

I would do it if it was 2 seconds, I don't know why but 3 feels a little too long

 

[lamy's sacred sleep]

I would do it if it was 2 seconds, I don't know why but 3 feels a little too long

No, I wish to go peacefully, with my Nitrogen setup

 

[axolotlotl]

I'd rather use a painless method, I want to feel relief when I CTB

 

[polarcrow_]

agreed on 2 seconds. ten seconds feels like an awfully long time especially when you're in pain and three also feels like it'll stretch on forever. It's why i eventually decided against any sort of hanging or ligature because of the prolonged pain.

 

[Namelesa]

I would still press it. The pain I would experience with it would be less than what I experience during my whole life if I were to continue it. It would take a quite a bit longer of a time for me to actually reconsider not pressing it. Maybe when it gets to 3-5 minutes I will reconsider but would probably still press it from impulse.

Edit I won't know a definite amount of time for me to not consider to press it at all as long as it isn't like an 1 hour or something. My thinking of my limit is constantly changing honestly.

 

[NoPoint2Life]

I'm actually surprised people are saying no. I agree with the user above.

 

[SecretDissociation]

Where can I find this button? If it's 10 seconds of temporary pain I'll take it because it means guaranteed death. I'd just put the button next to me when I go to sleep so that I accidentally press it, wake up in pain then die. I mean, I'll probably scream or whatever! But that's okay because like??? death.

Sure there are instant almost painless ways to ctb like jumping off a cliff, but I need to get rid of SI (something I doubt I'll do but that's okay because atleast I went hiking amiright).

I'll even press the button if its 15 seconds of pain but nothing higher than that.

Also, this means I could literally do it from the comfort of my home. Hell, maybe I can take the button with me to a cliff, the pain will be so bad it makes me jump.

There's a few things you could do to get guaranteed death a lot quicker.

true but some people can't access them.

i would argue no method is truly guaranteed if we account for every single possibility in the world, not to mention the opportunity to quit midway through which lots do due to SI

you can get extremely close to guaranteed, though, which i don't doubt

 

[JesiBel]

I would only do it if at the same time it made me disappear or disintegrate without a trace.

If not.. for the same amount of time I prefer FSHanging.

 

[bankai]

Absolutely I'd demolish an entire bottle of vodka and press it as I am about to Black Out.

 

[dead dav]

I would.d press it without hesitation the pain would be worth the guaranteed result

 

[bleeding_heart_show]

There is no reason not to.

 

[777cave]

Yes

If death is guaranteed to be instant then 1 sec.

Any longer, given its the worst pain of my life, I might change my mind because it would be unbearable.

 

[dust-in-the-wind]

I'd take the 10 seconds.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I would do it if it was 2 seconds, I don't know why but 3 feels a little too long

Yeah 3 seconds of the worst pain is very scary. i every human is risking that unbearable pain but not just for 3 seconds but for minutes , hours , days , years of that constant unbearable pain just by being alive .

If death is guaranteed to be instant then 1 sec.

No thank you. If I am going to go I rather it be painless. 10 seconds is a long time.

i guess some of you on this thread understand somewhat how bad pain can be. i do sometimes sometimes . it seems most humans don't. i don't not most of the time only once in a while i get a little understanding.

to me nothing in this horrible life is worth 1 second of the worst pain .

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

That ten seconds would feel like ten years so probably not. Then again most methods have a similar amount of pain too…

 

[Subhumano]

Not sure

 

[worthless123]

As long as it doesn't leave a bloody mangled corpse, I'd do it.

 

[timechained]

to me nothing in this horrible life is worth 1 second of the worst pain .

I assumed the other side of the question was that living life is unbearably torturous.

A life of unbearable pain vs 1 sec of the worst pain and then your instantly dead - I choose 1 sec all day.

I WOULD, I'll probably drink something that makes me feel high first.
my method is drowning cus i don't have the money to buy sn and stuff but after i check the location, the water is too shallow....

 

[enditplz]

No, the only reason I'm still around is because I want a painless death. If I was willing to put up with 10 seconds of torture, I'd take a shotgun to my head or even just jump off a bridge instead.

 

[wtg]

Yeah, why not, all i need to do is just to press the button

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes if the death is guaranteed and leads to no more suffering and no more torture ever again, I just want all to finally be gone and forgotten for me and I'm always so tired of suffering in this cruel, torturous existence I personally always saw as the most harmful, terrible mistake, I'd just never wish for any of this rather all I hope for is to never suffer again. I wish for an guaranteed death and I see so much cruelty in how that is denied for me as I'd just always prefer to not exist than be burdened with this existence that just causes and brings so much suffering all for the sake of it and problems there were never a need for and I find it so terrifying how a human can exist for so long just to be tortured by old age, I'd never wish for any of this rather all I hope for is to never suffer ever again, I find it so deeply undesirable to exist.

comfort and likelihood of success aren't opposites at all for me!As FSH is my method of choice I will statistically pass out after about 10 seconds.That is no price at all considering the lethality of my method
