Help how long should psh blackout take?

[funhaver63]

I was able to consistently find/target the carotids using my hands and a usb charger that I'm using instead of a rope, and although I could get a very strong head rush after about 30 seconds but I'm not sure that its enough to make me blackout quickly/comfortably. I've read that you should feel like you're on the verge of blacking out after about ten seconds, and I'm not sure if my perception of being close to blacking out is skewed or if I'm doing something wrong. It might be possible that I'm just not applying enough pressure, but I don't feel like I'm holding back the amount that I'm leaning forward, and I don't think it would take all that much pressure to sufficiently block the carotids. I'll probably get an actual rope at some point which would be sturdier and would let me lean forward and apply as much pressure as possible, but due to my current circumstances, it's a bit difficult for me to get a rope without raising suspicions. Is there anything else that I might be doing wrong? help is very very appreciated <33

15 seconds is the average. Looks like you compressed the jugulars, not the carotids. What's your body's position? You really need to "hang", even if you touch the ground with partial. Meaning something like an L shape, or the knees being right above the ground. I don't think a charger is long enough for that lol.

i tried kneeling at first, which seemed promising, but i was worried about the cable snapping and i had read on the farewell wiki that sitting is preferable over kneeling. I think ill go back to trying kneeling though. i suppose it is possible that im hitting the jugulars instead of the carotids, but on the attempts where im closest to blacking out, i get far less or a feeling that my head is going to explode bc of high blood pressure, which i think means that im hitting the carotids? i will get a rope once im more confident in my setup though, which should hopefully let me try kneeling or standing more successfully
