Method Hyperventilating + full suspension

[cookiencream]

I'm gathering this from the shallow water blackout method + google searches. From my understanding hyperventilating makes you dizzy because the displacement of C02 in the blood causes your blood vessels to constrict slightly. I was wondering if hyperventilating before stepping off could cause you to become unconscious quicker, because the blood vessels would already be constricted. I've had an AI recommend it to me too (I dont really trust those clankers tho)

Evelyn mentioned the 'Wim Hof Breathing Method" in one of her hanging guides. My understanding is that its purpose is mostly so you don't feel the urge to breath for a while. Maybe worth looking into, I didn't so far:

I'm guessing it's a professional swimmer breathing pattern, so it's probably not supposed to knock you unconscious....

It should still theoretically work right? If it truly does constrict the blood vessels.

I have no idea, I'm sorry. It's just something I remember I read in the context of hanging, so I quoted it.
Personally I find it interesting as a way to have no urge to breath until unconsciousness sets in from the hanging (within 10 seconds or so).

You're right to be skeptical.
Most public-facing AIs are not designed to provide neutral or purely technical information when it comes to suicide-related topics.
They're built with strict pro-life filters: instead of offering clinical clarity, they focus on dissuasion.

Even when an AI "seems" to suggest something or mentions a method, the information is distorted to exaggerate risks, highlight worst-case scenarios, and discourage action.
For example: even if you mention jumping from the 200th floor, it'll still refer to extremely rare survival cases.
Even if you mention high-lethality firearms, it'll emphasize the chance of failure.

This is not technical realism it's psychological containment disguised as help.
So yes, you're right not to fully trust it: it's not making random errors it's following a protocol designed to redirect thought, not analyze it.

I noticed that no matter what it'll always point you towards living. Which sucks but whatever. Although some of this information I got from google so I'm assuming the blood vessel thing is accurate. Especially since hyperventilating is sometimes used as a way to faint or knock yourself out.
