You don't even know what you're talking about. We're not talking about comfort or discomfort here, we're talking about success rates. With the smoke, the rate is way higher. Someone with enough willpower won't leave, even if it's uncomfortable.
Someone with 'enough' willpower would also stand perfectly still while being stung to death by bees. But I'm not gonna wait around for that to actually happen.
I think you're underestimating how much a person will choke in that environment. I haven't tried it, sure, but I'm pretty sure it's worse than what you're imagining. I've been testing my charcoal outside and it puts out plenty of smoke in the first stages.
Staying perfectly still and serene during self-immolation is a counterexample, I suppose, but it's notable because it's rare. Besides, death from CO from just-lit charcoal will take like three hours. Who will stay there, unable to do anything but cough their lungs up, for three hours?
Success rate is directly tied to discomfort. Otherwise what's the point of the CO method in the first place? Why not use your amazing willpower for a more spectacular method?
I think you've watched too much anime.
"Nandiyoh. Now I will use my Willpower to simply drown myself in a small bowl of water. I certainly won't sit up, I'll just keep my face in there, with my Willpower."
Plenty of people on here have said 'I lit the charcoal inside the room but it got too smoky and I had to leave, what did I do wrong?'
This is all aside from the fact that the flame/smoke stages of burning charcoal produce lots of CO2 and little CO, a fact you refuse to accept... maybe you've confused one for the other.
Everyone else stopped responding to you, I'll do the same now. If you're not trolling, I *almost* feel I can encourage you to proceed with that method, because of my 100% certainty that it's not encouraging a suicide... it's just encouraging a self-induced coughing fit.
Edit to add. I asked ChatGPT myself and the conversation went like this:
CO is produced the fastest during the initial smouldering phase before it catches flame (ok so that probably is true but...)
how long is that phase
literally a couple of minutes, 10-15 minutes at most (i.e. not long enough)
what happens after that
the charcoal catches flame and then CO production falls off a cliff and CO2 production replaces it
what happens after that
the flames die out, the embers stay alight under a layer of ash, and CO production resumes
Another edit to add. OH MY DAYS bro I just saw another thread where you're talking about doing this in a tent?? With the charcoal actually flaming? I take it back, that is a suicide method, just a horrible one where the tent goes up in flames with you inside it. Please, do not do that.
Final edit to say: I think it's clear you're not trolling. There's no need for me to be unpleasant to anyone, let alone people on this site, of all places. I'm sorry.
I won't change my words now, because I think it's important that people know not to bring flaming or soon-to-be-flaming charcoal inside a tent.
