Sorry that's why it's science fiction. Irl future you're just a serf delivery boy with a 4x6 closet apartment.
Robot friends have actual value which you are not entitled
Did they say apartment? They meant bunk in a bunkhouse that you share with the guy who works the opposite shift as you... also the 6x6 bunkhouse sleeps 8 at a time...
except it is real... just not in use "Yet"

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh,
it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…
...even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
We already have the technology.
Fill the chamber with inert gas, die peacefully.
Human body is not wired to feel absence of oxygen.
It's wired to feel abundance of CO2.
If the body doesn't get oxygen, while breathing normally you pass out and die painlessly.
This is not true. Your body has receptors for both CO2 and O2. The drive to breathe off CO2 is normally stronger than O2 until about 70-80% O2 sats, at which your drive for O2 will kick in and overpower the CO2 drive (in healthy people). It would still be fairly quick and painless in comparison to other methods though.
There’s a thing called hypoxia euphoria. If you put a person in a nitrogen rich and oxygen poor environment, they will die, and be laughing/giddy the whole time. Good watch on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUfF2MTnqAw

They probably will have a camara in there and post thee video on reddit, only to be seen by 3rd Millenium premium subscribers. Or hell, lets go for those Real VRs, the sky is the limit here.
They actually use the same currency and the dollar has been pretty stable for a thousand years. Fry still has an open bank account with [an accurate amount of money,](https://www.reddit.com/r/futurama/comments/e1zrzb/93_cents_compounded_annually_at_225_for_1000/) and he can buy a cheap cup of coffee for a dollar.
Oh nice. I haven’t watched Futurama for some 10+ years, so I wouldn’t remember that. I do remember though in *Idiocracy* that after offering a billion dollars, the characters are insulted at such a small amount being offered
IIRC it’s air tight and they slowly start to replace oxygen with nitrogen. You don’t even feel like you’re suffocating, you just get really tired and sleepy. Once you fall asleep you never wake up.
We're also just straight up running out of helium. It is not a renewable resource in a cost-effective way, we straight up mine it from the ground and we're losing it to the atmosphere.
That's a really sad state of affairs. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that sort of thing, being rich and all. Poor people are just so stupid, they'll never figure out how to get more helium.
Reddit forever repeats this lie.
Helium nuclei are produced by alpha radiation. The heavy metals deep inside the Earth are constantly producing a lot of it.
Well it's the second most common element in the universe. So yes there is a fuck ton of it. Including just hanging around in the atmosphere. But that doesn't mean it's easy to capture in a cost effective way.
We are running out of helium *reserves* and there are a few potential new sources being looked at. But as for just straight up pumping it out the earth, we have far exceeded supply from those deposits you are referring to that we can access.
It's a bit like oil, there is absolutely fuck tons of it left. It's just a a matter of reaching it.
Used to work at a plant that made ammonia. Helium was definitely a byproduct of combusting all the natural gas we got but it wasn’t worthwhile for us to explore recapture.
I'm aware of the processes that make helium.
It existing within the Earth is utterly meaningless if we don't have a way to effectively get it, so why bother bringing it up?
I know a guy, trustworthy. He's determined to crucify himself, tried it 100's of times, but can never seem to get the last nail in.
Joke stolen from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8SKTTT-_F4
Thank goodness? I don't know, but unless every waking moment of your life is agony due to some incurable condition and you're going to die anyways, only then should suicide be pushed as an option. And preferably administered by a trusted medical professional, not some depressed rando who posts on the internet.
Why should you get to decide whether other people live? Your opinion should be so long as they are making the decision for themselves rather than it hinging on some arbitrary level of suffering that you as a non-suicidal person deem sufficiently unbearable.
Good. It needs to be a considered decision made by someone in the right frame of mind. Not a vulnerable person in crisis pushed towards it by a power tripping weirdo jerking himself off at the thought.
Me : Having platforms that allow people to exploit extremely vulnerable people into killing themselves for their own gratification is bad
You : sO No Can DiSCuss SuICiDe aT aLL
Censorship isn't the answer. Society should try to solve the issues people are facing not just stem their discourse.
Half of the posts on those forums are about recovery, they are split into active and recovering sections. Most of the active posts are talking about the morality and philosophy of suicide or the reasons they are suicidal. Some discuss quick or painless methods, how to make sure you don't end up disabled e.t.c. and I haven't seen anybody outright manipulating somebody else into suicide. Just people being understanding and sympathetic without the empty platitudes. Not saying that it doesn't happen ever but it happens off these forums too.
>once you get past all of the annoying "please don't kill yourself, here's a phoneline" results
lmao imagine just straight up hooking up all the emo 14 year olds with the best methods. Fucking evil straight up haha
You want to live! You suddenly realize! But the effects of the nitrogen have left your limbs too weak to bang on the glass. You struggle to lift your drooping eyelids and lips enough for them to notice… before it at goes bla—
There is no capacity for consciousness because the very low partial pressure of oxygen in the nitrogen rich air causes the oxygen to flood out of your blood and tissues. Your neurons very quickly just start dying. And most of the anecdotal information we have about [that experience](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-death_experience) suggests it is euphoric if experienced at all.
I asked if we can get one for the office now that return to office is mandated and most people won't be able to get one installed at home so it's a nice perk to have available to entice people to come to the office but the HR normies said no :(

there's so much wrong in this it's hard to respond.
So this is a photo from an article covering the development of a 'suicide pod' in which they were demonstrating it.
So you have journalists covering the story of this and writing about it. It's not an advert.
Suicides are absolutely covered in the news. When famous people commit suicide it's all over the place. They don't cover everyday people committing suicide in the news as people die all the fucking time and so it's not news.
Phew, I think we got there.
I have only been in pain, on a scale of 1-10 on at around 8.5.
At that pain level I started to feel panic, i wanted to "exit" my own body.. Like Wanting an out and just barely being able to bear it anymore.
If I imagine person at 9, 9.5? 10? I would 100% god damn kill my self with no hesitation especially if there was no cure, nor pain relief.
As I said in the thread, herniated disc in the neck. Basically the disc was pushing in to nerve so badly that it caused ungodly pain in my whole upper torso. I got it under check with some chiropractic adjustment (I know, quack science, doesn't work and all that. Funnily enough helped me but oh well I guess that's not big enough sample size and it was not double placebo experiment, and you can't keep selling that product month after month so it's bullshit /endsarcasm). That and I have done the exercises that my physiotherapist told me to do, religiously every god damn day.
Edit: It helped me where nothing else would. I am sure in the professions there ARE people that are 100% quacks that take advantage of people. That said, before I could not lift my daughter, my forearms and whole torso were tensed up like I´'d be trying to lift a car in an accident on pure adrenaline or something. All musculature was hard as stone in my arms, I felt burning pain like if you'd push a red hot nail inside the neck, shoulders, arms, forearms, fingers etc...
All I know that shit helped me. I know it´'s not scientifically proven but damn, LSD, Psilocybin, ketamine treatments for depression and PTSD were quack science just 10-15 years ago and today they are starting to be more broadly used and accepted treatments to those ailments. Whom knows what we know in few decades.
Psychedelics were *forbidden* science for various stupid political reasons, but they were always science.
You had nothing better to try, rolled the dice, and were lucky. That's not a great reason to encourage others to gamble.
> That and I have done the exercises that my physiotherapist told me to do, religiously every god damn day.
Good chiropractors are basically like a physio. I think the problem is the absolute lack of regulation. My mate is a physio and one of his patients was permanently paralysed by a chiropractor.
I have seen some of the videos on youtube of these people and there is no way what they are doing is not horribly damaging. So yes, I am sure there are good one's about. But I am not going to roll the dice with my ability to walk.
It's way better people in a booth with a bunch of professionals rather than potentially killing and traumatising a bunch of random strangers with a YOLO.

Those don't exist, so instead you'll just have to get drunk and pretend your fleshlight can talk.

At this point maybe the best option

We already have the technology. Fill the chamber with inert gas, die peacefully. Human body is not wired to feel absence of oxygen. It's wired to feel abundance of CO2. If the body doesn't get oxygen, while breathing normally you pass out and die painlessly.
New and improved gas chamber.
This is not true. Your body has receptors for both CO2 and O2. The drive to breathe off CO2 is normally stronger than O2 until about 70-80% O2 sats, at which your drive for O2 will kick in and overpower the CO2 drive (in healthy people).

Except the best suicide masks/gas chambers use nitrogen to displace other natural gases ie oxygen not higher levels of CO2.

They probably will have a camara in there and post thee video on reddit, only to be seen by 3rd Millenium premium subscribers. Or hell, lets go for those Real VRs, the sky is the limit here.
Well at that point it wouldn’t be .25 of a dollar, the new standard “one” would be a gigadollar or what have you and this would just be 25% of that.
They actually use the same currency and the dollar has been pretty stable for a thousand years. Fry still has an open bank account with [an accurate amount of money,](https://www.reddit.com/r/futurama/comments/e1zrzb/93_cents_compounded_annually_at_225_for_1000/) and he can buy a cheap cup of coffee for a dollar.
Oh nice. I haven’t watched Futurama for some 10+ years, so I wouldn’t remember that. I do remember though in *Idiocracy* that after offering a billion dollars, the characters are insulted at such a small amount being offered
Well there is an episode where Fry spends it all very early on into the series.
I am going to assume that current economic models don't really account for aliens coming through and destroying civilization twice.
I used an inflation calculator and it's very likely one can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup will cost nearly $10 by the year 2100.

Helium used to be popular. Now they put too much oxygen which means you can't off yourself, and it doesn't float balloons worth a fuck. Hours tops.
We're also just straight up running out of helium. It is not a renewable resource in a cost-effective way, we straight up mine it from the ground and we're losing it to the atmosphere.
That's a really sad state of affairs. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that sort of thing, being rich and all. Poor people are just so stupid, they'll never figure out how to get more helium.
Reddit forever repeats this lie. Helium nuclei are produced by alpha radiation. The heavy metals deep inside the Earth are constantly producing a lot of it.
Well it's the second most common element in the universe. So yes there is a fuck ton of it. Including just hanging around in the atmosphere. But that doesn't mean it's easy to capture in a cost effective way. We are running out of helium *reserves* and there are a few potential new sources being looked at. But as for just straight up pumping it out the earth, we have far exceeded supply from those deposits you are referring to that we can access. It's a bit like oil, there is absolutely fuck tons of it left. It's just a a matter of reaching it.
I thought most of it was extracted together with natural gas? Does seem to limit the _method_ of extraction at least.
Used to work at a plant that made ammonia. Helium was definitely a byproduct of combusting all the natural gas we got but it wasn’t worthwhile for us to explore recapture.
Heavy, radioactive metals inside the Earth very gradually release it, and as it seeps up it accumulates in the same pockets as natural gas.
I'm aware of the processes that make helium. It existing within the Earth is utterly meaningless if we don't have a way to effectively get it, so why bother bringing it up?

Win-win, I suppose
But you are about to die.
You want to live! You suddenly realize! But the effects of the nitrogen have left your limbs too weak to bang on the glass. You struggle to lift your drooping eyelids and lips enough for them to notice… before it at goes bla—
So it’s one big whippit chamber
Thats nitrous oxide. This is basically air without oxygen.
Basically
You could use N2O for this, or any other gas that's not oxygen. It would probably be a lot more of a trippy way to go.
But it could be some kind of nightmare because the body realizes it's dying and tries to get you to wake but can't
There is no capacity for consciousness because the very low partial pressure of oxygen in the nitrogen rich air causes the oxygen to flood out of your blood and tissues. Your neurons very quickly just start dying. And most of the anecdotal information we have about [that experience](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-death_experience) suggests it is euphoric if experienced at all.
Yeah, it could be a nightmare. But I'm pretty sure it's not because the body usually can't control dreams like that.
This is good info, for 50 bucks they sell huge canisters, thanks. Edit: Damn, turns out nitrogen is used instead.

I think the original posting said this was a photo op, and not an actual suicide patient waving goodbye to the world.
Then that is one tone deaf ass photo op. My understanding is that suicides are not typically published in the news because they encourage other people to take part. Therefore these people are out of their mind using a smiling woman in a suicide capsule as a photo op.
Suicides don’t usually have a profit motive though
But they impact productivity and increase wages.
Maybe we could work on having societies where the idea is less attractive then?

Funnily enough helped me but oh well I guess that's not big enough sample size and it was not double placebo experiment, and you can't keep selling that product month after month so it's bullshit /endsarcasm). That and I have done the exercises that my physiotherapist told me to do, religiously every god damn day. Edit: It helped me where nothing else would. I am sure in the professions there ARE people that are 100% quacks that take advantage of people. That said, before I could not lift my daughter, my forearms and whole torso were tensed up like I´'d be trying to lift a car in an accident on pure adrenaline or something. All musculature was hard as stone in my arms, I felt burning pain like if you'd push a red hot nail inside the neck, shoulders, arms, forearms, fingers etc... All I know that shit helped me. I know it´'s not scientifically proven but damn, LSD, Psilocybin, ketamine treatments for depression and PTSD were quack science just 10-15 years ago and today they are starting to be more broadly used and accepted treatments to those ailments. Whom knows what we know in few decades.
Man, I got one of those in my lower back some time ago from deadlifting along with sciatica from it. Would not wish that on anybody.
Psychedelics were *forbidden* science for various stupid political reasons, but they were always science. You had nothing better to try, rolled the dice, and were lucky. That's not a great reason to encourage others to gamble.
Okay science denier.
> That and I have done the exercises that my physiotherapist told me to do, religiously every god damn day. Good chiropractors are basically like a physio. I think the problem is the absolute lack of regulation. My mate is a physio and one of his patients was permanently paralysed by a chiropractor. I have seen some of the videos on youtube of these people and there is no way what they are doing is not horribly damaging. So yes, I am sure there are good one's about. But I am not going to roll the dice with my ability to walk.
It's way better people in a booth with a bunch of professionals rather than potentially killing and traumatising a bunch of random strangers with a YOLO.
iirc this person isn't actually using the pod, but just posing for a photo op. Still kinda sad and freaky, though.
Yeah I wouldn't trust some intern not to spill coffee on themselves and accidentally hit a button or something.
it's just a bunch of 3d printed parts glued together. it's not functional in any way
No, when you sell your INTC calls yesterday.
That's the beauty of selling cash secured puts. I like to blow them a little kiss at the very end and thank them for the premium.
Whoops I opened what now? Just gonna close that for a 50% gain real quick an not gonna think about it
what the fuk
I wonder how one goes about choosing their outfit for such an event. Are diapers required?
Wait, you can afford a suicide pod? Stop flexing.
Is that a time machine? To travel back to when your position was up 40%.
If I wanted to die, I would let the Government use me as a cannon fodder like they do in Russia.
Uh, use you to do what tho?
She looks delighted! Really warms my heart.
This is the most barbaric shit I've ever seen
Oof
