Well ... hanging is apparently still the most common method worldwide (except among US males, who more frequently use guns). I'm trying to think of a reason to hope that changes ... but I can't. People choose their methods for a variety of reasons and clearly hanging suits more people than other methods do, even though a lot of them are relatively easy to access.
Dude don't lie like that, other methods aren't easy to access, especially in countries with gun bans (and many countries where guns are legal have restrictions that block a lot of suicidal people)
The easiest method is probably train suicide and apparently they charge your family for that in Japan and in the Netherlands and Belgium, not to mention all the ripple effects you cause (similar for jumping in front of a car)
Jumping off a building or bridge (in the relatively few places where there are high enough buildings/bridges you can access), is uncertain and probably terrifying
Have you ever tried to hang yourself? I experimented with hanging, thought I knew what I was getting into, but it was agonizing when I attempted it seriously
Most people have to keep retrying (look up David Foster Wallace's suicide), and essentially are just giving themselves a torturous execution
Maybe some people really do just "apply the right pressure on their carotids so it's painless" or have a ~pleasurable experience similar to autoerotic asphyxiation is sometimes described (maybe for those people it isn't actually pleasurable exactly but a form of self-punishment), but for me it was agony and I imagine it is for others as well
Descriptions of hanging when the drop-method isn't used seem terrible

Edit: "Don't lie like that" may have been a little out of place to use there
But I don't like the sentiment
