Discussion If you had a button where you'd die painlessly and instantly after pressing it. Where if you didn't press it it'd dissapear. Would you?

[lamy's sacred sleep]

I've been asking myself this question and if the answer was no. I knew that I still had things I wanted to do or hope for my future.
I think it helped battle impulsivity.

 

[Namelesa Graves]

I would definitely press it as if after death is non existence then I can't regret about anything and my suffering will end.

 

[Forveleth]

*insert meme of hand slamming button that I am too lazy to go get*

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'm not sure. It wouldn't be hope keeping me here though. It would be the same reason I'm stuck here as it is. I don't want it to upset my Dad.

If it was to disappear like you've never existed though, then- sure.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yeah, I would press it

 

[mirage]

I wouldn't think twice about pressing it lol

 

[platypus77]

 

[mango000]

i already decided that im going to ctb soon, so id might as well lol

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Without hesitation

 

[FuneralCry]

That is all I wish for, all I wish for is to painlessly disappear from this existence and never suffer ever again, all I've ever wanted is to cease existing in peace and permanently be free from the torturous, futile abomination of existence, I'd never wish to exist rather I only want nothingness, I just want permanent relief from this existence I always saw as the most terrible tragic mistake that just tortures and torments existing beings, existing to me is only suffering. I see it as deeply undesirable in every way to be conscious in this existence suffering so much, nothing no matter what would make me wish for any of this suffering rather I only wish to never exist ever again.

I wish I could erase this existence so it's like I never suffered at all as I find it the most terrible tragedy how this existence that just causes suffering all for the sake of it and problems there was never a need for was even imposed, I'd always prefer the peace of non-existence over being enslaved in this existence just waiting to die anyway capable of suffering to unlimited amounts, the thought of suffering in this existence just to be tortured by old age is so horrific and unbearable to me.

 

[soonnotkoei]

youre making it way too easy for me.

 

[TheHolySword]

As long as I still had time to write my letters, draft my will, and do anything else I need to prepare for after I'm gone. If it's a situation where the button appeared right now and this was my only chance, then no I wouldn't press it. If I could have the time I needed to do everything, then yes I would.

 

[SoulWhisperer]

I'm sorry but I'd press it immediately. I fear the future too much to miss out a chance to successfully disappear, painlessly even. I'd do what I could till time's up then press it.

 

[fuewybfunsfoiceoi]

This is the material of hopes and dreams, press, press, press

 

[music]

seems like i'm the only person who's pressed no up until now so i'll try to explain why lol. i'm not hung up on methods, but deliberating whether the slim chances of opportunity to begin living a life i'm at least okay with are worth hanging on to. speaking solely for myself, the lengths i'd need to go to in order to accomplish this are irrelevant to this discussion. if the scenario was 'button or permanent surveillance ensuring i never get a choice again' then i'd pick otherwise, but i don't think i'd be here if i could honestly vote yes in a rational state of mind. hope that makes sense, not that i need it to though

 

[NoPoint2Life]

At this point in time, I think I'd actually have to go with maybe. Normally I'd be a yes with some guilt about my parents. But right now my mom is going through major medical issues so I would definitely feel guilty. She even guilted me a few weeks ago by saying What if it had worked when I tried to CTB?! That made me feel bad

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

No, my button will not disappear.

 

[astonishedturnip]

Ugh! It's just the timing, lmao. My niece's birthday party is next week and I'd feel like an ass for missing it by being dead.

But, too good of an option to pass up. I could only say Maybe.

 

[danny10]

I would...

 

[human909]

I would definitely, this world is so cruel and unfair to us. i have been suffering from pain too long now, I will press it as soon as i see it.

 

[NonEssential]

Yes, especially if it was a now or never situation.

 

[OMGkawaiiAngel]

I didn't expect this would be such a hard decision, honestly… If the button were to disappear *forever*, I would not hesitate and press it. My death is secured and I wouldn't be able to see how any of my loved ones react; if disappointed, sad… Would not be able to feel guilt in case of failing suicide.
I feel useless and helpless in my current situation. Even if I finally had set a goal to reach, become a recognized artist, making me feel motivated somehow, I wouldn't like to keep suffering through these intrusive thoughts and constant parental abuse. I would finally reach peace.

 

[darkenmydoorstep]

Yes. If reliable and pain free then without a doubt. Whatever is 'waiting around the corner' can't top finality can it?

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Yes I would press the button. i'm assuming the button means instant painless Death which is non-existence forever.

non-existence forever is the only perfection because it's the only guarantee of never suffering extremely.

i'm also assuming that the button dissapears in a few hours so that my opportunity to reach non-existence in a guaranteed instant painless way would be gone forever in a few hours if i don't act now. so i choose to act now and forget everything because after i cease to exist nothing can matter to me.

the horror is that this "button" would be available to anyone that wanted it . but the only reasons guaranteed painless methods aren't available is because the monsters made some one assisting you with suicide and all guaranteed suicide methods into crimes.

1 micro-second after my brain dies is Death. Death is non-existence forever. that means that all my problems are solved instantly and forever. never any chance of unbearable pain, extreme suffering nor extreme torture. never any kind of pain, suffering... never any problems , bad memories, diseases , old age , injustice, lies ,scams thousands of other horrible things in life /existence/ consciousness / this world. i will never have any worries, free from all responsibilities work to do lists, work a job, work, chores problems headaches stress free from all that garbage forever .... boggles my mind that many of the things i listed are part of the daily struggle for most and they never question why do i have to do all this work.

non-existence for ever is the only perfection . because only non-existence forever guarantees never suffering extremely ever . non-existence forever is the only absolute perfection the ultimate bliss

as of now 83% said they would press the button. i wonder what people in other social media sites would say probably much much lower like what % would you say?

 

[Unrequitedlife]

In this moment, I think i would

 

[NitrogenAfternoon]

Isn't this how it's done in Switzerland? Of course I would. I wouldn't even think twice about it.

 

[freakypossum]

No hesitation as long as there's undeniable proof there's no afterlife.
