• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

As said in the title, I think my question is simple. What can method has the highest success rate and what is the actual percentage? I understand that it may be difficult to come across this information but I can't seem to find it myself so I wanted to ask if anyone else had it.

Cheers!

Yep. If using a pistol or rifle, gunshot to the head is lethal about 97% of the time. If using a shotgun, it's like 99%.

This is true for the USA, but I'm not sure about other countries. My guess is it's significantly lower in most other countries where guns aren't as easy to obtain.

It's very hard to get accurate information on a lot of methods, how would you go about getting the data?

Many methods are dependent on so many extreme variables, it seems almost silly to group them. I tend to take it all with a grain of salt these days

Jumping will depend on height, drag, impact surface, etc.

Drug poisoning will depend on quantity, purity, time until discovery, etc.

Here's a breakdown from a site lostallhope:

srry about asking another question, but how does SN or N compare to the data above? i know theres probably not enough data but roughly.

just to add another question, how does SN or N compare to the data above? i know theres probably not enough data but roughly.
There is no data on SN specific since all drugs/chemicals are dumped into one big category so there really is no way of telling.
If I would guess it would be like 30-80 % so I think quite high but there is no way to be sure.
Also 30-80 % is just from what I see on the forum since there are quite a few posts about surviving so do not quote or base a thing of that.

Any idea how lethal a rifle round to the chest would be? I have an AK-47.

How ironically cruel that we even have to fruitlessly speculate on which method has the highest success rate when death itself is inevitable for all living beings and the passage of time is truly the ultimate method for ensuring death.

My money's on gun suicides having the highest success rate though. It's a shame they still seem pretty painful though.
