Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"We know this because we've tested it thoroughly and have wonderful exit interviews with the test subjects, who assured us of its euphoric effects via ouija board."
lol lol This science was discovered decades ago with air planes, navy divers, and the space race. Take your outrage and put it somewhere useful.
Jesus christ I'm pro-assisted suicide, it was just a cheeky fucking joke.
You know, I misread your comment. Many apologies.
Apology accepted and appreciated. Misunderstandings can happen easily online. Have a good one.
It's a joke suggesting medical fraud where there isn't any. Not a very funny joke...
You do realize you can "test" it and stop before dying, right?
How can you be sure suffocation kills a human, until you kill a human? User testing 101 bro!
This was obviously a joke that requires no downvotes. Seriously.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_hypoxia
Euphoria is one of the symptoms of generalized hypoxia, and I would expect that this machine skips over many of the listed symptoms by rapidly decreasing oxygen.
also true of whippits which are nitrogen oxide, likely what they're using here.
I had a dentist a while back tell me that the statistics for suicide among dentists are really high, but that they're probably misleading. Because too many dentists fiddle with the oxygen safety on the nitrous feed, strap on a mask, lean back, pass out, die.
"Uhh, thanks doc... How're my teeth though?"
Yeah, that's about how that conversation went.
They are using nitrogen gas, generated from liquid nitrogen.
Death by nangs?
Damn what a great way to go.
