What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Why would it not be easier to just seal off a room, and cycle the oxygen out until it's pure nitrogen gas. The people would pass out quickly, experience no real physical pain and just leave them in their for 30 minutes (well more than needed)
If there was an assisted suicide way to go, id basically just ask for the mask at the orthodontist then ease off into never worrying again.
It would be easier, that's why no one has ever built this roller coaster.
That's why no one has built this roller coaster YET!
It would, but that's not the point in the design.
That's bleak.
True.
And bleak.
you don't need a whole room. that one guy made the coffin like devices.
They already make them, they're called a Sarco pod

eyup. the one guy being Nitschke.
Nietzsche?
no. although im sure he would approve.
actual, nonconsensual murder
Wasn't one woman found with marks of someone manually choking her? And one of the Swiss "entrepreneurs" (if you should call them that) was convicted of the crime.Yeah that's why I said just the mask would be fine with me. But if its assisted suicide then I imagine others would have other wishes. Possibly going as a group or who knows what
im not sure about the mask. maybe a helmet. you really want no chance of polluting with outside air. Also good if its not to constraining.
I mean when the doctor puts you under he uses a mask for a little until you're out really and takes it off so you dont get brain damage and die, if he just left it on i dont see how it would stop working unless it ran out? Maybe I'm remembering something else
Sure but it gets taped down and such when your under and you are not worried about air getting in as much as so much aneshteia getting out that it will be to low a dosage. With nitrogen you don't want oxygen extending out your awareness or triggers from soemthing like co2. You more worried about it getting in. Then also it just gets to a level of being tussed up which can wierd you out. I mean if you had to but I think the coffin/pod thing is a good compromise of comfort and being able to feel ate ease along with assurance on function.
This was just an art project, not something to build in reality as it obviously is bad in every way possible
Now you're thinking like an engineer!
Where's the fun in that?
This coaster is the kind of whimsy the world needs now more than ever
Just ask the germans
Yeah – that's not how the gas chambers worked. They used Zyklon B, which was designed to be painful (or at least a welcome coincidence).
