    It becomes significantly more painful if you hold your breath until you pass out before inhaling the nitrogen.

    So probably don’t do that part.

      It is entirely natural to want to not die. It’s pretty unfair to blame the victim (even a victim guilty of a terrible crime) for the suffering caused by a process they didn’t consent to.

        Hes getting executed, of course he didn’t consent to any of this.

        He’s getting killed by the state. There was no way around that. He chose to face his death in the way that caused him the most suffering.

        In the past, people have done the exact opposite. People being hanged wood have someone pull down on their legs to make the process go faster so they didn’t suffer as much. This guy did the exact opposite and inflicted several minutes of agony on himself.

      Oh yeah, I watched the episode of Veritasium about the scariest thing. That said, fighting death is kinda what living things do usually. That said, holding your breath to not suffocate is kinda the dumbest shit.
