For worst ways to die, this has to chart:
I’m going with a prion disease like Crutzfeld-Jakob. It can be dormant for years then boom, no warning, and no cure.
Of like typical diseases:
rabies, tetanus, cholera or any shit yourself to death disease
torture like shit:
- you can paralyze someone put them on a vent, and slowly starve or dehydrate them to death while they are conscious. I… uh… technically know how to do this
- i dunno, blank spot. The big four are the ones above. I hate eye shit. People who have some contact disaster with their eyes freak me the fuck out.

oh the last one:
sometimes when you start CPR, people wake up when you do compressions and lose consciousness when you stop. That’s always terrified me. A half hour-hour of dying, coming back, and dying again? No thank you.

My vote is neurological degenerative disorders.
I’ve always thought ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) would be a rough way to go.
Or Tay-Sachs, or Huntington’s Disease, or all the other lesser known, obscure ways God shows His love for us to find meaning in the suffering

Lost my dad to ALS. He was a fourth-generation farmer, been physically active and capable his whole life. Watching his body slowly shut down and his spirit break over the course of several was the worst experience of my life.

Sorry to hear. Having seen my uncle succumb to it it’s on my euthanasia list if I get it. I think it was a more brutal experience than he had anticipated. Just stuff like being positioned uncomfortably and having to just be like that until you get a chance to ask someone to move you. It was also incredibly difficult to speak to him because it’s so hard to talk to someone with a totally impassive face. It feels like they’re deliberately ignoring you.

The article never mentions why they did all that stuff. Has me curious if it’s some spy stuff or just guys getting caught up in trying to act cooler
Chronic wasting disease sounds like a terrible way to go.
Well, this is a delightful way to start the day!
Locked-in syndrome would be my vote.
Gotta go with the Brazen Bull imo. I always think of this when anytime I walk past the Charging Bull statue on Wall street - that thing must be hollow.

Second place - I’m going to go with drowning in a grain silo.

With hindsight, I spent way more time as a kid worrying about quicksand than I needed to. I guess I thought I was Jonny Quest?

I only drink water with diamond flakes in it.
I saw Witness when I was 12 and I couldn’t sleep for a week.
Seems like the proper time to ask about the medical realism of this famous line:
“I cut your eyelids off and feed you nothing but sleeping pills.” What would actually happen here?
You have to cast your Eminem card to ward off the attack
“Now you see why I don’t sleep
Not even a wink, I don’t blink
I don’t doze off, I don’t even nod to the beats
I don’t even close my fuckin’ eyes when I sneeze”
