Opioid overdose in a pit full of puppies.
I agree about the OD but prefer a warm bed more than puppies
Nice try, robot. I'm more of a kitten guy, but no HUMAN turns down final puppies.
If you're a roller coaster enthusiast, you might get a kick out of the Euthanasia Coaster, or as I like to call it The Sui-Slide
Elegant. But is 10Gs pleasurable? Maybe if you got really high first.
The G forces deprive the brain of oxygen, something that will get you extremely high all by itself. Ever get nitrous oxide at the dentist? It would be like that but much more intense, although I'd think you would become unconscious almost immediately within the first loop so the high would be very short lived.
I want to die in my sleep like my grandpa, not screaming for my life like his passangers... <joke>
Nobody mentions an instant divine lightning strike at the climax while sleeping with a bunch of porn stars at once while high? I am severely disappointed in the lack of creativity here
That is truly inspired. Thank you.
Once I had to get a surgery, and in recovery was waking up, nurse thought it too soon and said "let's just dial this up" and put me back to sleep with a dose of whatever opiate was in the IV and that is absolutely the only way I'd want to do that. So gentle.
Opiates are pretty awsome.
There's something lost when it's refined to a medical product tho. The high becomes cold.
Fresh black opium goo is superior, imo.
That's fine, I just want someone experienced to dose it like that. It was soft and pleasant. Really my first thought when I got home was that would be such a wonderful way to die. Not surprised or in pain, there's enough of that in life, at the end you shouldn't be worrying.
I don't know about pleasant but I imagine breathing in nitrogen is among the least unpleasant ways to go. You first pass out and then suffocate while you're unconscious. I believe that carbon monoxide acts in a similar fashion.
No, I don't think it does. Carbon monoxide is actively poisonous to you while Nitrogen just displaces Oxygen.
Very relevant to all of these discussions is the fact that your body doesn't give you a feeling of suffocation from a lack of oxygen but from an abundance of carbon dioxide. This is why if you exhale while holding your breath it provides some relief.
Carbon monoxide similarly replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells. There are even suicide tutorials online by using carbon monoxide as it's a painless way to go.
Also, this is not advice and it's also potenttially lethal to the people coming to save you. Don't do it and if you do, for the very least, leave a sign warning others about it.
I figured that, in addition to no feeling of suffocation, nitrous oxide would also provide a righteous high.

OceanGate expedition
we don't know how much time passed between when they realized they wouldn't be coming home and when they imploded...
In Wagner’s estimation, it takes 13 milliseconds for the brain to process information from the eye, a hundred milliseconds to feel pain. But 13 milliseconds into the implosion, there is nothing left intact of the cylindrical section of the Titan.
“They would have been dead ten milliseconds ago,” says Wagner. “They wouldn’t really feel anything or see anything coming. They would just be instantly dead
Whatever it was, I'll lay good odds it probably felt far too long...
Heroin overdose would probably be alright.
DMT + skydiving from the edge of the atmosphere
I was in the hospital back in January, I woke up one morning and they told me my heart stopped for 8 seconds. I never knew. Seems like an ideal way to go.
I was thinking sex + nitrous bag but I can't think of a way for them to work together smoothly.
What combination is that...
But to answer your question, the most pleasant would probably be the quickest. Maybe shotgun to the head. Best if I didn't even expect it and didn't know it was going to happen, just suddenly no consciousness during any normal activity, all of the person erased, nothing, but that's obviously impossible (to be euthanasia).

I would just prefer to live the rest of my life in the matrix
Yeah, I am at the point a med-sci student could convince me to let them attempt to preserve my brain.
My life now is such that life in a VR* network ran by non-profit scientists in the future would be an improvement. Though I would like to have options for existence, so long as homeostasis is not an issue (ideally organic and symbiotic systems rather than fully tech). Toasters should get to enjoy nature once-in-a-while, too.
*= Which maybe you could say is Virtual Retirement
It might not be as utopian as you are thinking.
I don't know the science, but I would venture hypothermia.
That said, the fact someone is looking for painless ways to go often puts into question how bad their life is, as someone with a truly bad life could be said to see even the most painful ways to die as a drop in the bucket. Based on such thinking, I would recommend that anyone who is thinking of doing the unthinkable spends more time rethinking it.

Oh, wait - I thought my text-to-speech app said "youth in Asia..."
🤷
EDIT: Too many serious folks in here...
