If you lived in the past, what would be your ctb method?

[tuto170]

Actually i wish i lived during WW1 or WW2 that i would be conscripted into an army and died in the battlefield.

i think about this a lot. depends on the time period, really. if it was in the 19th century, i'd get myself infected with tuberculosis. very poetic way to die. if it was the during the first half of the 20th century, i'd get prescription medication (probably barbiturates) as they were much easier to obtain back then... any other time period, i think i'd go the same way as i am currently planning, by hanging. i like the idea of dying in the battlefield too, good call!

Laudanum overdose

(Re: future SN regulation. "By 1868 laudanum could only be sold by registered chemists in England and, in a nod to its dangers, had to be clearly labeled as a poison—the first restrictions on its use. In 1899 pure aspirin was developed, a far safer painkiller, heralding an era of better-regulated medicines." Yeah...)


The Allies marched here when they liberated Sicily. Plenty of women hid themselves because they were afraid of being raped. I would have begged a doctor for morphine "just in case". If I lived in the North during the occupation, I would have asked for morphine because the Nazi tortured women prisoners just as they did men. Plenty obtained cyanide for that purpose

or, full suspension from Sicily's olive trees I guess. Nowhere near as many CCTVs, tourists, and cars then.


Emily Brontë got tuberculosis after catching a cold. BUT 1) She subjected her family to the agony of watching her die (her coffin was 16 cm large) while absolutely refusing to see a doctor for 3 months 2) Her SI caught with her in the end. She said, "If a doctor is available, I will see him now". When the Dr arrived she was dead or dying, which must have been traumatizing for her family

I would pretend I was a warlock or something and be publicly hanged.

I don't think I would have killed myself because I wouldn't have had access to the internet and I can't guarantee I would have become an atheist. Or, at least, I certainly wouldn't have become one at 15 haha.

Gun. Or maybe I would have killed someone, a really bad person, and be sentenced to death. Some sort of 2 in 1 solution. Until the 70s Guillotine was used in my country, one of the fastest way to go imo. Kind of Assisted Suicide ahead of it's time.

barbiturates when they were stronger and more readily available

 

[issyishere]

Assuming we don't have the knowledge we have now I'd probably just hope for a classic hanging or being executed by firing squad. Violent but fast haha

 

[Hennessy]

The writer Jules Verne drank a wine that contained cocaine and in the beginning Coca-Cola contained heroin I've heard. Not sure if it's all true, but it's a interesting thought:-)

 

[Moonicide]

Drink a bottle of poison and call it a day.

 

[MissNietzsche]
