• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I found 2 propane gas cylinders in my dad's shop. I was thinking about taking them both and going into the old car beater in the back. Put them inside, seal off car doors and car vents, and open up tanks. Do you think this is a good way to ctb from the gas? Will the car explode? Any thoughts or suggestions?

That's not nearly enough propane to asphyxiate yourself in a car, you would need to make some sort of exit bag setup instead. I've never heard of a propane exit bag, either. It sounds kind of nasty compared to inert gases since it stinks and it's flammable, but it still might work.

If you released the propane in the car it absolutely could explode. This happens fairly regularly, but I didn't find any cases where it was powerful enough to be fatal. Although it wouldn't kill you, you might get some nasty burns, and it definitely could destroy the car.

Basically this sounds like a good way to waste a bunch of propane, possibly destroy a vehicle, and possibly get some really nasty burns and rack up giant medical bills with an emergency room visit.

Considering a car inside a workshop, we can estimate an average space of about 10-15 cubic meters, based on the standard size of a car and the surrounding volume. However, you didn't specify the type or capacity of the propane cylinders you would use, which is a critical factor in assessing the effectiveness of releasing the gas.

Sealing the car's air vents would obviously reduce airflow within the cabin, creating a more isolated environment. However, even in such conditions, the amount of gas needed to completely saturate the space and reduce oxygen to lethal levels depends on the capacity of the cylinders and how well the seals hold. Additionally, the risk of explosion remains a real possibility, as propane is highly flammable in the presence of sparks or heat sources. Without more details about the cylinders, it's difficult to provide a more precise analysis.

There likely wouldn't be enough to displace the oxygen in the car, and all it takes is the slightest spark or static shock and a fire starts immediately. In the worst case scenario, you end up being saved but with extreme burns, which is one of the most agonizing things anyone can experience.
