Current Events > Being buried alive is prob the worst way to go

(+) Yeah! (+)

damn

it's one of my biggest fears. The concept has always greatly disturbed me. Whenever it happens in movies or games, its very hard for me to watch

Good thing it's not something that's likely to happen to someone unless they messed with a drug cartel or something.

Upside down, contorted, with your face in the dirt, confined, unable to move, crawling with bugs & spiders until you die.

Yes, that is the worst way to die.

IMO? The one thing worse than being tortured is top grade torture resistance training.

I wouldn't mind. At least I know my suffering will end soon. Worst way to die is probably being eaten by many tiny ants. Maybe they lay eggs in you and the hatchlings eat their way out of your ass.

Any form of torture is worse imo

This is a form of torture.

Proper torture technique means you want to ensure they don't die too quickly and you want to control the situation so you can draw out enough pain that it hurts but not so much that it overwhelms their senses and their pain is dulled. If you bury someone alive, they could potentially die too quickly.

You can bury someone alive at any point.

And, just because someone is alive doesnt mean they are suffering or conscious. Ever been black out drunk? What did you experience? Nothing, right? Its not that you dont remember. You were never there. Anyway. Lol

Yes but at that point you're probably done torturing and this is just your cherry on the cake for them. Unless you plan on digging them out again.

I don't understand your second point. Wouldn't that just reinforce not burying them alive? They could pass out and then die.

Eh, not sure how to respond. Lol

This is a horrible line of thought! But so what if they pass out? Whats your point? Im being rhetorical. What Im saying is they will wake up and still be there. I care not to describe the situation any more beyond that.

Basically being tortured before you die is a pretty bad and fucked up way to die. I rather have my death be swift and painless than agonizing.

Well it's more than I don't understand why you said what you said. If the person you were torturing passes out, you weren't controlling the situation very well. You were being too forceful with them, which defeats the purpose, you're not trying to kill them. And if a person passes out while buried alive, they could potentially die before being able to regain consciousness, depending on various factors such as how much oxygen they had left.

As I feel it is polite to respond,

i believe we have two very different ideas of being buried alive. It can get bad.

the ending to Spoorloos (1988) still gives me a bad case of the willies

I know, my point is that it isn't really torture, you just want that person to die unpleasantly. It's the same as if you lit someone on fire or sunk them into the sea. I'm not arguing that it's not going to be bad, there's no question of that.

One freaky Topic here.

Its the psychology of not being able to do anything vs being able to do something..... but youre just stuck & its silly.

same principal applies in more non-violent interrogation techniques

I'm sorry, I think we are just thinking different things and I probably should have just stayed confused instead of trying to clarify.

Imagine being this man, who died trapped in this cave for 28 hours upside down. Utterly unable to move with all your blood pooling in your head. Rescuers try their hardest to help you but they cannot pull you out without shattering your legs, and if they shatter your legs, you will die of shock. Particularly the unable to move part is unimaginable horror.

edit: oh and as a bonus: it's probably really fucking dark down by your head. you die horribly and slowly trapped in the dark.

man i just forgot about this, week ruining shit

Wouldn't you suffocate fairly quickly if you were buried alive in a small container?

EDIT: You'd slip into a coma and die after about 5 hours in a coffin.

To be frank, I dont want to describe exactly why its a perfect pick for #1 worst way to die of all time.

But i I will

With other things, yes, the possibility of various forms of shock & other shutdowns is a factor whereas with the proposed scenario (buried alive in such an awful manner) it is not.

If you were buried alive? You arent going to go numb. You arent going to blackout. You arent going to have an adrenaline rush, or anything like that. You are going to be stuck & panicking & its going to get ugly, sooner or later. You might freak out right away. Or it might take awhile. Maybe you decide to snap your own neck right away for some reason. But thats infinitely unlikely. It will likely take some time for those people to come to that conclusion & do it.

Various involuntary or sloppy movements can result in a person dying easily.

You can trip in the shower or roll over the wrong way and tbh, its a bad wrap.

You can laugh or sneeze the wrong way at the wrong time and it might dislodge some clot & kill you. Were as fragile as we are resilient.

So that will happen eventually if theyre in severe physical pain. The other thing is that eventually the person will realize that they can just kill themselves to escape the situation. Depending on the circumstances, they might do it. Theres a number of ways that factors into being buried alive. Vs other ways to die. Being buried alive, the incentive is different because youre not in immediate pain. Thats bad. Its potentially so much worse if the person doesnt know or realize that they can kill themselves. Because when they freak out, its going to be the ugliest thing on planet earth.

just because a person is in severe agony (burnt, or bleeding) does not mean that they are necessarily in the worst situation imaginable. The thing with being buried alive...... is youre going to freak out eventually, basically, and thats going to be it. When you really freak out hard enough & lose control, you will move in such a way that basically will result in your death. Thats really mean.

Burying someone to run out of oxygen is an extremely benign thing comparatively. Actually, chances are the person will begin to get europhoric & welcome the sensation of sleep, being as they cant move.

Uncomfortable in such a way that requires a small effort and entirely restricted (worse than a coffin) - in terms of being buried alive, yea theres tons of different possibilities that dont involve running out of oxygen whatsoever. actually, people can pretty sick with it. Thats where you get the iron maiden & boiling chambers & other disturbing things.

Not just mentally breaking, but a certain kind of mental break with this extreme level of isolation & smothering around you

aka why waterboarding works & the white room, or water dripping. Very similar. Some of the same mechanics

Not really.

The worst way to die is without a doubt this:

EDIT: NSFW pictures. Just google "Hisashi Ouchi".

83 fucking days of every single cell in your body slowly disintegrating. Jesus fucking christ.

How do you figure? He wasnt conscious for all 83 days. Also, I bet he was delirious.

That we don't know.

I'll still say that is way worse than being buried, it's not even in the same ballpark.

Because a person melted over 2 months?
