Can you link the story, if I may ask?The guy that did the math around filling his car with beachballs to make the CO2 work quicker always made me laugh.
Too gruesome for me.Someone killed themself with an electric carving knife to the throat while in bed with their spouse. Another one decapitated himself with a chainsaw.
Damn.Explosion using bullets as shrapnel in an enclosed area to maximize damage. I think it's very uncommon but I think it's the only way to go. I think the method has to be faster than your tactile nerve response. It's been clinically observed that an estimated half of all people experience a spike in gamma brain waves, the waves associated with conscious alertness, a spike 300 times the normal range of conscious production. The final dreams at that time can reportedly be deeply horrific or deeply pleasant, and time may slow down, reportedly stretching one's experience of time so that decades or centuries pass in a single moment. But even these alarming anecdotes may not account for the human experience during the last firing of the last synapse. There may be a point at which, for example, the level of oxygenated blood dips below the point of resuscitation (no matter our tech level), but still enough to enable dreams, making the dreams unknowable to living people. I believe that your deepest psychological constitution decides if those dreams are joyful or if they're a nightmare that feels like a lifetime but only takes moments. If a person has always been insecure, paranoid, avoidant, poorly handles stress and change, or frequently recalls negative memories unprompted, these often incurable pathologies will determine how a person will experience death. And that's because they determine how a person dreams, whether the dream is drug induced or otherwise.
The worst case scenario is that you have a decades long nightmare tortured by all your deepest fears. The only contingency for this is dying a death that doesn't allow for the release of these brain waves, neurotransmitters, or any of the psycho medley that may cause the near death experience. The brain must be destroyed in an instant. Shotgun pellets only travel at 0.4 meters per millisecond. Nitroglycerin explodes at 7.7 meters per millisecond. Tactile stimulus signals take at least 4 milliseconds just to travel to the brain. If the dynamite sticks are resting directly on the back of your neck, the brain matter will theoretically be reduced to pieces that are too small for any consciousness or hopefully even perception of pain before the brain even realizes the imminence of death. I learned from a lengthy explosives safety manual that some kind of shrapnel in the nitroglycerin like firearm ammo will make the explosion significantly more deadly, as will detonating it in an enclosed space.
If you have the money, I'd recommend traveling to Potosi in Bolivia, where dynamite can be purchased legally. That's what I plan to do, hopefully not alone
Interesting. I'll look into it.Explosion using bullets as shrapnel in an enclosed area to maximize damage. I think it's very uncommon but I think it's the only way to go.
