      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.

      *= Which maybe you could say is Virtual Retirement

    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.

      What combination is that…

      But to answer your question, the most pleasant would probably be the quickest. Maybe shotgun to the head. Best if I didn’t even expect it and didn’t know it was going to happen, just suddenly no consciousness during any normal activity, all of the person erased, nothing, but that’s obviously impossible (to be euthanasia).

        The G forces deprive the brain of oxygen, something that will get you extremely high all by itself. Ever get nitrous oxide at the dentist? It would be like that but much more intense, although I’d think you would become unconscious almost immediately within the first loop so the high would be very short lived.

    I don’t know the science, but I would venture hypothermia.

    That said, the fact someone is looking for painless ways to go often puts into question how bad their life is, as someone with a truly bad life could be said to see even the most painful ways to die as a drop in the bucket. Based on such thinking, I would recommend that anyone who is thinking of doing the unthinkable spends more time rethinking it.

      we don’t know how much time passed between when they realized they wouldn’t be coming home and when they imploded…

        In Wagner’s estimation, it takes 13 milliseconds for the brain to process information from the eye, a hundred milliseconds to feel pain. But 13 milliseconds into the implosion, there is nothing left intact of the cylindrical section of the Titan.

        “They would have been dead ten milliseconds ago,” says Wagner. “They wouldn’t really feel anything or see anything coming. They would just be instantly dead

    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.

    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
