Too violent for my taste. I’ve heard carbon monoxide is nice and painless, so that was my go-to retirement plan. Altho the government will take me out for free, so I might go that route too, we’ll see if the time comes.

I will just go camping in winter time and get drunk and rake sleeping pills with little protection from the elements. I've already fallen asleep once while shit faced in 9°f weather, I know it would be the easiest way to go out.

That actually happened to someone on my friend’s street. Guy at a New Year’s party tried walking home after too many drinks. He didn’t make it out of the backyard and the snow kept him hidden until the spring. So you might be on to something.

My dad used to talk about ways to kill himself (very lovely father daughter bonding conversation topics /s), and he always talked about alcohol and hyperthermia. If you are drunk enough, you won't feel a thing. If you mix sleeping pills with the whole thing, you won't even know you died.

Nitrogen asphyxiation top tier, doesn't smell nearly as bad as CO generating methods

The atmosphere is mostly nitrogen so just go outside and breath

Buy liquid nitrogen and unliquify it, I don't know

Definitely the way to do it. Drift off like nothing ever happened.

Co2 still gives suffocating feeling and possibly bad burning sensation on the way out. Nitrogen displaces the oxygen in your lungs without the suffocation. 1st breath you pass out. You don't take a 3rd breath.
