Hubi,

I guess the sandpaper room would be pretty far down on the list.

There are so many things that would be fighting for last place honestly. Idk, being stuck deep in a cave Nutty Putty style for days, barely able to breathe, arms pinned totally by my side, legs all twisted, total darkness. Slowly suffocating as the blood pools in my head and I become delirous.

That terrifies me so much. But idk, there are so many horrific ways to die. There are many cases of people being tortured to death over weeks or even months if they somehow survive that long.

There are also a bunch of diseases that are all around awful and terrifying. That syndrome where you are trapped inside your own body, total unable to move anything but you are aware of everything around you, maybe would be the most horrific.

Idk, too many horrible ways to suffer and die in this world…

Melatonin,

Fuck, I forgot Nutty Putty cave. Switch my answer to that.

Every time I watch a video or read about that incident I feel myself start to almost panic. And I’m not prone to panic attacks or anything, but that scenario just makes me freak out.

Imagining the feeling of trying to move and feeling literal hundreds of feet of totally immovable rock encasing your limbs, not a milimeter of give or flex.

Ugg, literally making my heart rate go up as I type this :S

pinkwerdo,

I think the cave that internet historian made video on was worse. The guy was stuck for multiple weeks.

I don’t think it would work this way to be honest. You’d probably die from a heat stroke or something like that long before any animal will do you much harm.

speck,

Oh. Then I guess scaphism is fine!

DestroyerOfWorlds,

Being wrapped tightly in untreated canvas, soaked in hot water, and then the canvas begins to shrink.

Fire in the Sky Alien Fabric experiment scene…

It’s easy to become desensitized to, since many of us see crosses frequently, but death by crucifixion is absolutely horrible.

Hnazant,

The viking wings thing.

magnetosphere,

Yeah. The “blood eagle”. Nasty.

drislands,

Being slowly crushed from the feet up by a machine that no one has the ability to stop, while everyone looks on in horror.

Or, more realistically, anything that involves mental deterioration.

simple,

There are probably worse ways but the Brazen Bull is the scariest for me. You’re throwin in a bronze bull and slow-cooked to death while being cramped and not able to see anything. Just terrible.

HerbalGamer,

fire or drowning probably

kambusha,

I think fire is by far worse. Every single nerve ending is sending pain signals until your nerves eventually burn away. You’ll be suffocating at the same time in the smoke of your own burning flesh. Fucking awful way to die…

HerbalGamer,

let’s hope for the smoke to do its thing while we sleep

quicklime,

Yes, drowning is known to be quite painful but only for a very brief time before unconsciousness sets in.

calypsopub,

I’ve almost drowned twice and there was no pain, just panic.

quicklime,

I don’t mean this to invalidate your experience in any way; I’ll just state sources to make clear where I got that idea.

medilexinc.com/…/the-process-of-drowning

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8928428

calypsopub,

Interesting. This describes my experience pretty well, up to the point where I couldn’t hold my breath any longer and took an involuntary lungful of water. However, while the chest spasms and all the rest of it were uncomfortable, I didn’t consider it painful, per se. I was a strong swimmer at the time and accustomed to holding my breath to my limits of endurance, so maybe that made the difference.

quicklime,

Thanks for this. I’m glad you didn’t have to deal with searing pain since panic is already more than enough.

cyborganism,

I’ve seen enough people die of diseases to know that I don’t want that. I’d rather be crushed to death or hit by a car or break my neck falling then having to suffer for months or years and know that death is coming.

rockSlayer,

Rats and a heated bucket against your stomach

yenahmik,

For me, it’s any situation where you know you’re fucked but can’t do anything to stop the inevitable.

Give me instantaneous death where idk what happened or a slow progression of disease where death would eventually be a welcome relief. It’s the in between that freaks me out.

cmbabul,

There’s a horror movie called The Sacrament and in it one of the characters while totally conscious is injected with a slow acting poison against their will and had no options to counteract it or whatever. I don’t get freaked by much but that really fucked with me. Knowing that you had 30 minutes left and there was nothing that could be done is horrifying

teawrecks,

I mean, doesn’t just “living” fit that definition?

There are a few prion diseases that are absolutely horrible. I believe one of them causes you to be unable to sleep until you go mad.

cheese_greater,

You should listen to that book at bedtime. Surprisingly effective, and its not in the least boring

prenatal_confusion,

Fatal Familial Insomnia

Mothetfuu that is scary

Edit: or the non hereditary version transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, TSE).

@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Fucking hell why did I read up about that. Okay this easily wins this post. Fuck that shit.

Zellith,

Thats called a job.

u202307011927,

And I for a split second thought to myself we were in nsfw territory here lol

teawrecks,

Work is often NSFW. That’s why OSHA exists.

@Thavron yeah I came in to say Fatal Familial Insomnia but then I saw how painful some of the other stuff in here is and changed my mind.

whaleross,
@whaleross@lemmy.world avatar

Me: Prions. I know what they are, I know what they do. Terrible. I shouldn’t look up Fatal Familial Insomnia.

Also me: Yep. I should not have looked up Fatal Familial Insomnia.

@whaleross you just need to forget it before your next bout of insomnia.

Rabies. Where you become convinced that water is poison.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Literally my worst waking nightmare. Every now and then I have insomnia and 100% of the time I think, “Fuck…this is the beginning of the end…”

I remember reading that it gets so bad that, even after doctors put you into a coma, you’ll eventually resist that treatment and nothing at all will work.

intensely_human,

Yeah no

jacktherippah,

Alzheimer’s, Dementia, anything neurological I think.

MrFunnyMoustache,

Rabies is my first thought as well, by the time symptoms show up and you go to the hospital, there is nothing you can do other than die in horrifying confusion, fear, and panic as your brain melts into mush.
