/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Not going to commit suicide until my body becomes too inconvenient for me to put up with.

To answer your question though. I plan on a combination of dehydration and starving.

Dude. It's 2012.
Asphyxiation for sure. Hanging, shooting and pills are so 20th century.
Bag + helium = EXIT

>>8686033

Will you fap while doing?

Falling from a great height.~

>>8686037
Meh, why not

Exit bag.

I had planned to walk in front of a train when I was still suicidal. Obviously didn't go through with it, though.

>>8686041

Wear a skirt and panties while doing, that will be a fine sight for whoever finds you.

I plan on committing suicide by old age. I hope the rest of /jp/ will join me in doing the same. We'll be the suicide by old age club.

>>8686051
Worst way to die.

Well, maybe not quite as bad as drinking bleach.

>>8686059

Die by watching it.

>>8686045
why would you waste everyone's time? that's so inconsiderate of you. one time there was this fucking dumbass who jumped off a cliff and it caused traffic jam for like 4 hours. because of that idiot i missed watching house that day.

Death by freezing

choking to seath on my own semen

>>8686064

it was very inconsiderate for that road to be built below that cliff.

>>8686064
You also seem to forget some poor soul will have to clean your brains from the room, and or clear the smell of decomposition from the domain, which can be a very expensive procedure.

At the very least, you should try to make it as clean as possible if you do plan on going out. The Exit Bag sounds like the best option since it doesn't leave a mess and is painless, but try to make sure someone finds you before you stink up the place like no tomorrow.

>>8686030
I tried to starve myself very recently (as in a few days ago), but I caved. I started to feel dizzy and I barely had energy to walk around, but I think it was quite far from fatal.

>>8686045
People have lived through getting hit by trains, so not "obviously."

>>8686091
You choose the express.

Why are all fun threads made when I don't have time to reply?

>>8686064
I just said I didn't do it. If you're really going to kill yourself, you usually don't let things like "who's going to clean this up" stop you.
>>8686091
If you do survive it, you probably won't be in any condition to be posting about it on the Internet afterwards. Trains are pretty powerful.

>>8686107
> you usually don't let things like "who's going to clean this up" stop you.
Yes you do. Not caring about what happens after you die is a sign that you're not serious and you're just in it for the attention.
If you're going to kill yourself, you cancel the milk and the paper, put the bins out.

>>8686107
>"who's going to clean this up" stop you.
I don't understand... why not?

You're going to do it anyway, or does it form some sort of mental block for you?

>>8686107
He didn't say how long. If it's not certain you'd die, it's not certain you'd never be able to fully recover either. I realize they're powerful, but so are bombs or bullets. It's unlikely, but you can live through anything.

I'll just wait for zombies to get me (with a fight of course)

shittiest thread of the day award.

I plan on jumping off of the parking garage at the hospital I used to work at.

I hope one of the people I used to work with finds my corpse.

>>8686116
>just in it for the attention
Not if you don't tell anyone about it.
>>8686117
>You're going to do it anyway, or does it form some sort of mental block for you?
I just said that wasn't why I didn't do it.

>>8686133
For bonus points land head first.
Also paint a little bullseye on the ground first.

Go off into the woods with a small survival backpack and see how long I last.

>>8686133
is it bad that I feel more sorry for the cat than the loli?

>>8686147
i like how you think,anon.

Fool! Killing yourself bars any chance of entry into Gensokyo. Don't waste it... Don't waste your chance at happiness!

>>8686134
Why did you choose to jump in from of a train? It's possibly one of the worst ways to go.

>>8686147
It'll be pretty bad, but do what you will.

>>8686026
Self-mummification

>>8686151
Ultimately, it's in their own hands if they want to live or not.
It's sad, but I can understand the reasoning behind it, no matter how foolish I myself believe it to be.

>>8686155
I've tried the train method. I sat there in the middle of the night for 2 whole hours, then I heard a train approaching and laid down on the tracks. As I heard the train get closer, I began to get more and more panicked and finally chickened out.

>>8686147
Take some kind of counter with you so that people who find you know how many days you lasted.

>>8686155
>It's possibly one of the worst ways to go.
It's also one of the most likely to kill you very quickly.

>>8686173
wrong.

>>8686165
I know that feel, anon.

Suicide is for girls.

I mean, I've never seen a website called suicide boys.

>>8686177
statistically speaking, for every one girl that kills herself, 4 guys kill themselves, even though girls attempt more often.

Girls often give far more warning and try less deadly methods.

>>8686177
go back to your board.

Nitrogen inhalation.

>>8686151

Sometimes certain suffering is better than uncertain hope.

>/jp/ Suicide Culture

>>8686084
Yeah, it's not an easy way to go. You'll have to really want to die, or have no other options left.

I'm arrogant though, so I won't allow myself to die easily. If I'm going to kill myself, I'll test myself until the end.

>>8686192
Suicide threads are the best threads on /jp/

>>8686165
Exactly. Aside from the intensely frightening monsters they are, you're not completely sure you'll die. For all you know, you might get dragged under the train and get your limbs cut off, and have to endure unimaginable pain for a few seconds while your body goes into shock.
All in all, it's terrible. Absolutely terrible.

>>8686173
So is jumping off a building. And every death happens in an instance. Too many variables in jumping on front of a train.


Exit bags make you fall asleep. You won't feel a thing.

>>8686155
Starving/freezing to death seems like such a bother, but any other method I have thought up would leave a nasty mess.

>>8686174
I have a 70 page journal with some pens, pencils and pencil sharpeners already packed. Originally was my bug out bag in case shit hits the fan somewhere down the line.

>>8686177
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_and_suicide
There are many more girls threatening to commit suicide than men, but none of then carry it through. They just want the attention.

tried it once... interesting experience.

You need to take a lot of sleeping pills to kill yourself. I'm talking like eating enough until you feel physically full. The LD50 is something like 500mg/kg. For me, at 165lbs, I would need 37 grams, or just under 1500 25mg (standard) pills. That's 15 bottles.

>exit bags
This is 2012, people.

Anyway, make sure you're completely ready to do this and try not to leave a stinky mess for the next tenants of your home.

It's sad to see someone else take their life just because they're unhappy with their lives. Hopefully, you know what you're doing and you won't leave grief in your wake.

>>8686245
My elder sister tried to kill herself with a bunch of antidepressants once. Stupid. All she got was a whole day in the hospital detoxifying her body, and it supposedly hurt like hell.
And I think she didn't even think it through. I checked the meds' label later and it only pointed to slight danger in the case of overdose.

>>8686273
>This is 2012, people.
Sticking a gas mask on your face is more primitive.

Though I guess it doesn't matter much--the primary appeal of exit bags are that you can have a friend easily dispose of them so you're not found dead with CPAP gear on you.

>>8686275
I don't think they should count as attempts
They're just the woman getting all emotional and going I'LL EAT A BUNCH OF PILLS BECAUSE I'M A STUPID BITCH WHERE'S THE NEAREST BOTTLE

>>8686283
I don't know if it's more primitive... But I guess you're right it would look weird.

Exit bags are generally more available as a whole, but in the end, it's up to the person to do what they find easiest.

After my Dad dies I'm going to inherit his Ruger Red Hawk. After that I just have to wait until my Mom dies. Once they're both gone I'll have no one left to disappoint and I can take my life in peace knowing I won't force my parents to accept the fact that they wasted decades raising me. I'll travel to a beautiful and secluded forested location, read a few select versus of scripture to myself, meditate for approximately ten minutes, and then take the gun and blow my brains out.

I take comfort in knowing that no matter how bad life gets I'll decide my fate and where I take my leave.

>>8686273
Oh, helium. Is that what I meant? Maybe there's no difference between helium and nitrogen, I forget (in terms of suicide)

>>8686329
They both work equally well, but nitrogen is much more expensive than helium.

>>8686326
I'm waiting for my parents to die, too.
I want as much discretion as possible when I depart, and I'm also aware that by killing myself right now I'll be imposing a lot of undesirable repercussions on them, regardless of how much a bother I might become until then.

>>8686273
Never forget.
;_;

So I know people tend to crap themselves when they die. To make it easier on the people who have to clean up my corpse should I wrap myself in a tarp?

Passing silently in the forest, like a tree does when no one's around.

>>8686384
Do an enema before you kill yourself to clean your bowels out, or something.

>>8686384
Bowel discharge is rare, but it generally occurs when the muscles in your sphincter relax, and gravity does the rest of the work.

I do recommend a tarp, not for the defecation, but rather for your whole body. If you last at least a week dead, it's going to create a mess that won't be easy to clean.

>>8686396
Or he could wear a diaper and leave a note on his front door. That'd be the responsible thing to do.

>>8686396
I think I'm more scared of giving myself an enema than taking my own life.

Suicide is for weakest of the people.

Also, it's against the bible:
>Life belongs to God. It is never our place to take our own life or someone else's life.
>Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

>>8686196
It was really more of a test to see how long it would take before I started getting unpleasant side effects (beyond just being hungry).

I've attempted some different methods before, but I lack the courage to do something as direct as standing in front of a train.

>>8686449
Many of the philosophers of old argued it was fine to take your own life. It's your fucking life, you are free to do what you want (and responsible for it(.

Fuck you Christianity for setting us back several decades, if not millennia.

>>8686455
How long did you last?

immolation is the real man's way to kill himself

are you a man or aren't you?

>>8686187
This may sound idiotic, but sometimes when I'm down I think of something like TTGL.

Probably burning charcoal in an enclosed space. I don't get to have guns where I live.

>>8686449
Actually, you have to be very brave to take this step. Something that coward christians would never grasp. I mean, you guys are scared of your own fucking delusions.

>>8686473
Not very long, because I wasn't drinking anything either. After 3 days of no food or water I was pretty light headed, but on the 4th day I started feeling quite strange so I decided I better eat/drink something. I stopped when I started to feel uncomfortable.

I think you could probably go up to 5 or 6 days without anything serious happening, but after that... I don't know. You probably wouldn't be able to think very clearly after 6 days without water.

>>8686470
Then, those philosophers were just dumb and failures, as I have never heard of any of those.

Suicide is against the nature.
Suicide is against God.

>>8686504
3 days without water is already dangerous enough, although I don't know how our tolerance might it vary in an enclosed place.

>>8686507
Well, if God wants to punish people for suicide, he'll have to go through me.

>>8686507
so what?

I could probably only do pills if it came down to it, because I'm a coward. Something like this.

You truly deserve to suffer for your ignorance.

>>8686504
Ah I see. I didn't drink anything for 3 days and didn't eat for about 7 and felt alright.

Amazing what saline via an I.V. can do I guess.

>>8686535
I'm used to eating quite a lot, so I'm probably not the best person to set an average for this kind of thing.

Personally, I'm thinking seppoku. Yes, I know, weaboo faggot, gtfo etc etc.

But no, really. I've trained with a sword for over 10 years, and the sword I've used feels like my soul at this point.

What better way to off myself? Its like a soldier shooting himself with the gun he used in battle.

>>8686545
You mean Sudoku.

>>8686116
caring about what happens after you die and being considerate of the people who have to clean after you is a surefire sign that you're a pathetic gutless beta.

>>8686531
>You truly deserve to suffer for your ignorance.
Nice christian quote, the most hateful and disgusting kind ever.
Also, what does that list changes? There are such examples from fundamentalist martyrs in every culture, but it doesn't change the general view of their people.
And if you're going to take that aspect, muslims are much more valorous, so I don't see where your religion scores.

>>8686566

>>8686596
Keep believing that, Anonymous.

No really, if you do, you might get farther than if you didn't believe such, so it's probably a good thing.

I'm not planning for suicide. No need to kill yourself when the lifestyle is self-destructive by default.
I'm hoping for heart attack in a decade or two.
My generally unhealthy life style would definitely lead to that.

>>8686350
>>8686326

I thought I'm the only one thinking something similar. I'm waiting more for my mother more than my father, he's too healthy for leaving soon, and I often think he deserves the deception.

>>8686570
that's not what 3d whores think though.

and a real alpha only cares about what they think about him.

Hopefully god isn't too mad. I just want to get to Old Home quicker.

>>8686571
>There are such examples from fundamentalist martyrs in every culture
No true.

>And if you're going to take that aspect, muslims are much more valorous
No.

Suicide is not valorous in any way.

Why is that?
>>8686598
>Romans 1:18-32 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever ...

Also if they are were killed in name of God...
They were killed by people without God in their souls.
>When it is rightly understood, there are no contradictions in the Bible. There are, however, many seeming contradictions. You point out a good one. How can God issue a Commandment that states, “Thou shall not kill” (Ex. 20:13), and yet in the very next chapter say, “Whoever curses his father or mother shall be put to death” (Ex. 21:17)? The answer is that the Commandment is not to be understood as a blanket condemnation of taking life. The larger context makes that clear. For example, Moses, who received the Ten Commandments directly from God & spoke to God face to face, did not view all killing as a violation of the Commandment given in Ex. 20:13 & Deut. 5:17. He advised the Israelites, “But in the cities of those nations which the LORD, your God, is giving you as your heritage, you shall not leave a single soul alive” (Deut. 20:16).

>The Commandment, when properly viewed in the light of the rest of the Bible, would be better translated as, “Thou shall not murder.” The taking of life has never been prohibited in the Bible. What is prohibited is the taking of innocent life, that is, murder.

I cannot possible comprehend how did you even come to that, unless you're trolling. It's the polar opposite: almost every attention whore contemplating suicide is doing it while thinking about how people react to her death, how will they cry in sorrow at the loss, how will they blame themselves for not understanding how precious she was to them and so on. This is exactly the reason such person would even think about killing oneself.

Jesus Christ, it's not like you're gonna turn into some sort of ghost watching the world from a cloud. You'll just cease to exist, that's all. Might as well believe that the whole universe gonna die with you. Après moi, le déluge: good enough for Louis XV - good enough for you.

Slaves were not meant to exist in first place, since we are all equal towards God.

>>8686127

>>8686982
But they do exist and this was tolerated by God in the Old Testament.

life without knowledge is nothing more than slavery. the humans were created without knowledge, and obtaining it condemned them forever because they actually gained free will and understanding of things they were oblivious to before.

I don't plan for any suicide. I will die in the natural course of things, as will everything in the universe. I see no reason to speed up the process.

fact: every christian/catholic/muslim/jew is an attention whore. they all beg their god for attention with their prayers all the time.

>>8686999
Christians are pretty funny about this. Sometimes they go far enough to tell people they shouldn't take the old testament into account because that time's manners won't match ours, although their god being the same.
And even better: Genesis belongs there.

>>8687035
fact: All christians/muslims/jews are schizophrenic. They insist talking to imaginary beings and won't ever consent to their condition.

That must be the reason I like it

Probably going to wait until my parents pass away, they are really my only acquaintances (no friends/siblings that are round) I'll use what I inherit to purchase whatever I need to get an exit bag ready as well as a decent amount of drugs (mostly opiates) and a flight to Japan. I'll get a h wiotel or something nearby the airport or maybe in Tokyo, I'll find the most luxurious one available and get a room high up with a window that has a good view of the city. (money isn't a factor because I'll be blowing everything I have for this final day) I'll spend the time I have left eating pills and drinking large quantities of alcohol and just peering out the window. When I've reached my limit and feel that I'm close to passing out or falling asleep I'll put the gear on and turn on the tank. Most likely I will leave a letter that says I'm sorry for the mess.

Not sure how I'll get the drugs over there but I'm sure theres a way even if I have to shove them up my ass. As for the helium and such I'll have to figure out something for that, but I have a fairly good while before my parents pass away to consider viable options. I'm not even sure I'll last that long. Every day it's increasingly harder for me to live.

Pill overdose is the least effective way to die. Like ever.

>>8686666

Detergent method seems the surest way for me.

Why are you acting like this is something new?

>>8688925

It's not that easy to dare doing that. Even more taking into account that it almost never kills instantly, and many times it takes more than one shot.

i don't know who the people i hate are yet. when i have their names and they're all together?

kamikaze.

>and many times it takes more than one shot

Not if you shoot properly. Don't be a faggot and point the gun to your jaw hoping it will kill you. At most, you'll become retarded.

100% of the time a shot to the forehead will do the job.

>>8690850

You do know the forehead is the thicket part of the skull, right?

Get a better handgun.

>>8690863
I know. But if you want to die, at least you should get something better than a BB gun.

>>8690863
That's why you stick the gun in your mouth with it pointing up. You're aiming for your brain, not the back of your throat

>What kind of suicide are you planning for?

Old age.
I hear it has a 100% success rate.

>>8690918
Wrong.

>>8690927
What is this supposed to mean? Has this man in your picture lived through since the dawn of mankind?

If not then you are still wrong and that picture means nothing.

He is currently three hundred and twenty two years old.

Look up cryonics/transhumanism. To tl;dr the general ethos of the movement, it's that death is a disease in and of itself. If life can be extended, then it's a treatment just like any other treatment for cancer or scarlet fever or whatnot.

We're going back to the virtual reality/brain-in-a-vat discussion from the other day, aren't we?

>>8690918

>>8691029
It is an inevitable one though, the longer you live the harder it gets to stay alive, cancers are a disease of probability, they will happen eventually to anyone that lives long enough.

>>8691038

Thinking in terms of short-term technology, yes. Theoretically, it's inevitable, but in the long-term sense. It is physically possible for one to live as long as the universe, or until the limits of entropy makes any kind of live inevitable.

>>8691034

I don't think that was me.

*any kind of life unlivable

I accidentally words.

All this technological discussion of course assumes that we won't kill each other off and reduce our general civilization back to the stone age again. I've been researching all the times we've come close to WW3/MAD and it's funny that the trigger wasn't always in the hands of presidents or some high military council. Not even close. For example, how many of you assholes would have launched the 20KT nuclear torp (can be armed without need for higher clearance) at the US Cuban blockade if you were the pissed off soviet sub commander being harassed to death with explosives and had no comm link to Moscow?
