I'm going to make a bunch of suicide kits and pass them out in silicon valley.

initial concept: 3d printed single shot unrifled plug-in zip guns, and a mini bottle of the saddest booze I can think of. but that doesn't feel silly or sad enough, and still requires expensive bullets. anybody got better ideas?

zip gun selfie stick with a qr code to upload photo/video for humanity to enjoy?

I need input here. what else might go in a suicide kit for tech vc idiots? what is the saddest booze? what kind of bullet is likely to injure but not immediately kill them, and be really funny?

    Handgun rounds are almost absurdy cheap. Go with that plan! And for sad go with Mad Dog 20/20.

    If you want them to drink it, put mad dog into an old bottle with a worn french labeled bottle with a decades old date of manufacture.

    Wine snobs are full of shit, blind taste tests show they don't know what is what, and enjoy it more if they think it's expensive. I don't have that problem with my Ale, I can taste quality, but I'm not an asshole that spends 60k on a bottle of wine.

    A few CO2 canisters hooked in to those noise cancelling facemasks glazers use to vibe code.

    Nitrogen if you want to be actually humane about it. Of did you mean carbon monoxide?

    CO2 works too. There are set ups to keep food from spoiling, or medical bullshit, as oxygen does the damage in many cases. They feed co2 to force out all the oxygen, and if you dip your head in there, you can pass out, and even die.

    Some caves too. Also an East African lake does these huge burps of CO2 sometimes that will kill people.

    How about a zip gun selfie stick that auto uploads a picture when you pull the suicide trigger? Also a long and winding instruction manual for ending it all, and a 20 point listicle about why you should.

    okay I kind of love the listicle. we van make the qr code to an app triggered by the trigger, that takes a pic. free flash too.

    but what kind of bullet, can we do this without expensive bullets, and what is the saddest booze? mouth wash?
