Not all methods are created equal so don't tell me it's a personal choice and not to judge. So what do y'all think are the worst/dumbest methods?

My vote: suicide by cop

Paracetamol overdose. It's stupid to inflict a week of horrendous pain on yourself before you die. I've heard this is one of the most painful ways to go.

Agree with the paracetamol... Before I knew anything about the effects I kept looking at and contemplating taking a full box of co codamol which contains paracetamol.Glad I didn't impulsively do it after learning it was extremely umpleasant and painful, not very reliable and could take days to work by liver failure.

Natural causes.



Kidding, but I'd say suicide by cop as well as salt water drowning. Awful stuff, not dumb, just will not turn out well.

You dont die fron that. Like 5 in 100 people
There's no dumb method really. You just attempt for a reason otger than truly waiting to die.
A zoo employee jumped in a tigers cage. Provoked them untill they finally got fed up and tore him to bits.

That's a rare exception tho

What's bad about salt water drowning in particular?
Salt water burns, and real bad at that. Instead of actually drowning on the salt water, the salt has some weird reaction with your lungs, and they draw blood into themselves, so essentially you drown on your own fluids.

1. self-burial.
2. enter tiger cage and poke it with a stick method.
3. misplaced acme dynamite lever-pushing method (a.k.a. the Wile. E. Coyote pseudo-mistake)

Yeah but who wants to test their determination when they want to die
Well is like a terminal illness. You have a clearer picture of weather you trullly want to die.

Setting oneself ablaze. There was actually 27 people who did that in my country in 2017, and it's like... I get that eventually your pain receptors burn off and then you're fine, but... what about before that?! Surely if you're okay with pain there are better ways to go about it. Can't even imagine how awful it is >_< I also agree that saltwater drowning is not a great idea too.

I can't describe how painful the sensation is but it lasts a longggg time, as far as I know. Even after the fire is put out you can still be alive.

I feel any method guaranteed to fail would be dumb I guess but ones that take too long or are too painful are also up there.

Self-immolation.

Suicide by cop is another one, I agree. People can ctb however they wish but I personally wouldn't be able to ctb by involving another person. I can't imagine how they would feel and what it would do to them.

I recall a rather tragic case study published of a young lady, who in the grip of mental illness, committed suicide on a hospital ward by suffocation - she had stuffed reams of lavatory paper down her throat and completely obstructed her airway. The case study stated that this was not an uncommon occurrence among residents of the psychiatric ward, although all attempts had previously been thwarted by the body's instinctive reflexes (survival instinct) causing them to remove the obstruction.

This particular young lady, however, had been quite heavily sedated as a result of the high dose of anti-psychotics she was taking and it was observed that her consciousness was impaired, therefore her reflexes also, in a manner not dissimilar to that of a heavily intoxicated person. She was witnessed writhing in obvious physical distress for a period of time before she lost consciousness, soiled herself, and her movements became myoclonic. Staff were unable to revive her.

I've always felt it tragic to think of the pain and distress that young lady must have been in, I wonder whether she had the wherewithal to appreciate the seriousness of what she was doing and I think back to my own experiences of grave panic at the merciless hands of the hypercapnia alarm response during an attempted hanging and an accidental drowning, two of the most distressing and painful experiences of my life.

It's probably not the dumbest method one could imagine, especially if we're considering satirical answers, but to me, it is one of the most tragic I've encountered in the literature over the years.

Drinking bleach or drain cleaner (lye or sulphuric acid based) - Excruciating and surviving will result in poor quality of life to say the least.

Alcohol poisoning - While it's true it can kill you... you're most likely just gonna vomit it up, perhaps while drunk... or having the worst hangover.

Mixing random prescription medication, like antidepressants without first researching the side effects and all that and expecting it to work.

CO chemical bomb in an enclosed bathroom- I can really go on forever about this one. But just search it on the site.

Suicide by rabies.
Or giving yourself a disease and not treat it... HIV, Hep C (my sincere apologies to anyone who might actually have these by chance)

Explosion (like leaving the oven running and then affecting other flats as well...)

I feel like a lot of these examples would better be named "dumbest attempts"

I think it's time for this:


PS: There was this guy who handcuffed himself to a tree in the woods. He threw the key just beyond reach. When they found his skeletal remains three years later there were clear signs of a struggle. Took him a whole four days to die. He was schizophrenic, and had tried to kill himself before in the same manner. I'm sure he wanted to go, but no one should have to like that.
