The Death Machine

    Situate your little death machine in your own favourite setting and press the button when you're ready to go to the next life.

    I've seen numerous people die awful deaths over many years. I haven't made my mind up myself yet on self-euthanasia but I think this will appeal to those in favour and it looks like the options will only increase as the years go by.

    This is the start of a new industry- one of those jobs that wasn't invented 10 years ago- "A death machine maker" - any colour, including black- options into the future will include an "a feic I didn't mean to press the button yet, button", 26 different after-scent perfumes, an automatic ejector seat to launch you into the sea if on a boat :pac:

    A controversial 3D-printed death machine designed to send people to the afterlife peacefully will be 'tested' by the public for the first time.
    The 'Sarco' is the creation of 70-year-old Australian euthanasia advocate Philip Nitschke, also known as 'Dr Death'.
    When a button is pressed, the Sarco will fill with nitrogen, resulting in the person losing consciousness after one minute and dying after five minutes.
    It will be unveiled at the Amsterdam Funeral Fair on Saturday, where attendees can get a glimpse into what it will be like to step in the Sarco using a virtual reality headset.

    Yep. On earth- at a funeral parlour near you, soon.

    But it's designed to take you away from earth- while still on earth- if you get me.

    This is terrible. How hard is it to use a HDRI background for quality rendering and a nice grass shader around the base? If they can’t get these important details right how can we trust them to not contaminate the nitrogen with oxygen?

    there was another company claiming to backup your brain

    or at least sorta preserve it by injecting you with embalming fluid

    it is, needless to say, 100% fatal


    They got a government grant

    Why does every machine made nowadays look like a Evil Cat Transformers eye/eyes? You see it with cars now too, they look f**king terrible.

    "Tested by the public"? Bit difficult to get accurate feedback from the testers.

    Just imagine 50 seconds after hitting the button and your last lucid moment would be a big dirty seagull shyte hitting the glass.
