Method Suicide by radiation

[ZardozOmega]

I know it sounds stupid and would probably be very unpleasant, but I find radiation fascinating and I've been toying with this idea.
Maybe an x-ray diy machine left on overnight? I assume I'd wake up with sunburns

 

[Ghost2211]

This sounds like a very bad idea....

 

[Good4Nothing]

Few deaths would be as agonizing as this.
May as well microwave yourself. Same results, quicker outcome.

 

[AutoTap]

You would have to have vast knowledge on how radiation exactly works and equipment. Not to mention that there are high chances of failure and possible extreme pain.

If your smart enough to understand stuff about radiation and arnt as dumb as I am you should be able to figure out how to hang or whatever way easier and less painful.

Death by radiation would be unspeakably horrible. You deserve better.

 

[hoping to lose hope]

What mircrowave do you suggest for this method OP?

1998 Urban Legend: Christmas Roast

1998 Urban Legend: Christmas Roast: Telephone relay company night watchman Edward Baker, 31, was killed early Christmas morning by excessive microwave radiation exposure. He was apparently attempting to keep warm next to a telecommunications feedhorn. Baker had been suspended on a safety...

According to legend this is possible...

Doesn't sound pleasant.

 

[sadworld]

That sounds reeaallly painful to be honest

 

[Varstraben]

I will say something maybe very stupid, but with agony or without, at the end it's death, and death is death, so maybe it could be a choice.
But it's sound harder than other choices, find a bridge to jump, rope, sn or medics sounds easier than finding something that could irradiated someone to death.

 

[Deleted member 23374]

it just sounds like a bad idea, sorry.

 

[Lilacmoon]

one of the most painful ways to go.

 

[Squiddy]

Sounds painful

 

[Quinlor]

You could go to chernobyl in the winter, you certainly would die by cold and radiation

 

[LongNight]

People with cancer get radiation. If I'm remembering correctly, the radiation isn't as bad as the chemo, but I could have that backwards. I don't know all the details, though.

 

[MindFog]

No, not possible. Getting a radioactive material is already hard enough and even if you have access to a machine, the radiation output is always regulated.

Radiation sickness is agonizingly slow, and i mean YEARS slow. the only thing you'll get that can be lethal is cancer.

And making radiation diy machine requires a lot of electricity too btw, so its a no go.

Death by radiation sickness is a slow and painful death. Unless you can get an acute exposure to the right type of radiation (radiation out put generally fits 3 types, beta, alpha and gamma ration) it may take years to die. Consider that the Japanese who were nuked during WWII did not die instantly from the radiation. Some lived very long lives, sick, deformed and no real way to provide them with treatment or relief. Exposure would more likely cause death by the development of cancer. This is not a pleasant way to exit.

There's actually some of them who died instantly but it was horrific. Their bodies disintegrated into ash and stuck a shadow like image in the walls. No remains, not even clothes. Sometimes i wonder how did their relatives even grieved.

 

[Konjac]

This chart is pretty interesting. Not sure how you'd go about getting a high enough dose to be comatose in seconds but it's fun to imagine lmao.

 

[Aap]

If you find radiation fascinating, you should research (the incredibly easily accessible) effects of radiation sickness. Nothing about it is pleasant, nor do you have access to sources that could make it fast.

Granted - but when life has been full of so much pain, it would be nice for the departure to be as smooth as possible.

 

[Death22]

This has to be the dumbest thing i have ever heard regarding method of suicide

it's slower than fing starvation ffs :D

 

[Aap]

The time to death is entirely dependent on dosage and can range from seconds to years later from cancer and everything in between.

I think it's still possible to get radioactive materials. have you heard about Radium Girls? I remember my parents had those radium watches in their appartment

Not a microwave, just a vacuum tube.

No, it isn't. Acute radiation sickness can take your life in a week or two.

 

[Death22]

No, it isn't. Acute radiation sickness can take your life in a week or two.

Are you saying that like it's something positive?

Do you know the dying process with acute radiation? It's not pretty.

Not a microwave, just a vacuum tube.

He's making fun of your method I believe

 

[Quinlor]

Sorry, but I am laughing right now

 

[Death22]

Sorry, but I am laughing right now

Why is that?

 

[TheWhiskyTheLiar]

This is a very stupid concept. It more than likely wouldn't even cause iminent death.

 

[mapletree]

radiation is very cool but

no
