Considering that lack of motivation stops a lot of suicides (a bit tricky to kill yourself when you can't be arsed to get up), it can work.

thorkild91
Suicide is really hard without a gun. Even hanging unless you have a real drop is pretty difficult. Cutting too. So without the ease success
thorkild91
Goes down. I've tried hanging and over dose and obviously both times were unsuccessful for reasons. Also things are better now
thorkild91
And cutting is self limiting to an extent. Even when suicidal it's hard to really get that deep.

More like were there never any thunderstorms causing electricity to go out or the tv never frying. That's what I was aiming for

My electricity almost never goes out. Old dorm was on the same grid as the hospital. Also, old tvs would have just come back on with power.

#4 - False - barns are red because Linseed oil derived from flax plants was used to seal bare wood against rotting. This stained it red.
nesticRAW
I don't know about linseed, but the red paint is the cheapest because the iron rust is left from mining. In Sweden it's Falurödfärg.
MrHotboy
I thought I heard red was expensive because I he pigments to make it are . I have never really thought about it though. I may be dumb.
bugglebug
I thought it was so they were seen easily in snow. But I'm Australian, so whatever.
pilomotor
Nah, the red came from iron oxide. Linseed oil is unrelated to the color. http://www.dahp.wa.gov/barn-paint-colors
GoliathSkittles
Technically not false, since it says "barns are painted red because" and not "barns are red because"
GoliathSkittles
But the Linseed Oil thing is still pretty interesting.
ThirstyRabbit
Also because when they could afford actual paint, red truly was the cheapest.
railgap
I've never had linseed oil stain anything red. It's amberish, clear or dried. <_<
MacClay
Same here.
sharerimagethesimple
They would mix rust in with the oil because it kills moss and helps seal the wood

#2 even though Tylenol overdoses went down, the amount of overall suicides showed almost no decrease bc they committed suicide other ways.
mikekearn
Pretty sure Tylenol doesn't give a fuck if you kill yourself as long as you don't associate with their brand when you do it.
AchromaticSky
To be fair, a Tylenol overdose is one of the worst ways to go. You get all sorts of horrible symptoms for days before it finally kills you.
BossBMe
Yea, I guess there are better ways to go
AchromaticSky
So if people just shot themselves in the head rather than OD on Tylenol, that prevented a lot of misery.

I don't think #4 is technically true regarding iron being the last element formed. It's quite a bit more complicated than that
railgap
Well, bright red isn't a common iron allotrope/oxide. Brown or even black are more often seen. Basic iron oxide is still a major paint tint.
superfeathers
I thought that one escalated pretty quickly...

I worl at an automotive paint store and red paint is by far the most expensive

Your paint probably doesn't use iron oxide as a pigment

Iron-56 is the second most stable nucleus (after nickel-62) and all elements after this release less energy than is required to make them.

That fact is mainly wrong. In the uk you cant buy more than 24 paracetamol at a time. Packets are more convenient. Big reduction to suicide.
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
Seriously, back in my day we wouldn't have let a blister pack stop us from commuting suicide. Kids these days, amirite?
ImACraftyHooker
They are also sold in lesser quantities since. Buying 6 boxes at once is usually a good tip off.
IAmTheKingOfCheese
You aren't actually allowed to buy 6 boxes at once, limited to 16 pills in most boxes as well unless you go to a behind the counter place
chase7436
That's exactly the point. Studies have shown most suicidal people won't go through with it when there's the barest amount of an (1)

Way more often than you think. People fuck themselves up on it because think it's perfectly safe. Like you apparently do.
callmethelizardqueen
Where do you get that? I rarely take it at all actually but it was always deemed safe that's why you could give it to children.
Rystefn
Yeah, that's exactly the problem. https://www.propublica.org/article/tylenol-mcneil-fda-use-only-as-directed
rowzdowr
I'm a pharmacy tech, and here in the US, that's a big ignored side effect of opioid abuse. High vol's of Norco will kill your liver first
rowzdowr
because of the Tylenol content, even if you don't OD on the hydrocodone.
saintnicklaus
Yeah I knew a kid that would do a cold water extraction to separate Tylenol/Aspirin from hydro and oxycodone scripts.
callmethelizardqueen
From tylenol? Then why was it deemed safe for children when other pain killers weren't?
ImACraftyHooker
It usually causes death by liver failure, it's fairly easy to do actually.
callmethelizardqueen
How long would that take?
Counterfit
Especially if you drink a bunch while taking it.
tehbear
It says "suicide by tylenol rates went down" a majority of those people probably just turned to a different method of suicide.
ImACraftyHooker
Serious people yes but a large number of Tylenol "suicides" are accidental. It also reduced Tylenol related liver damage by 30%
tehbear
How does changing from a bottle to blister packs reduce accidental overdoses? I'm not saying you're wrong, i'm just trying to understand.
drame
Sounds silly but having to pop each individual pill makes you consider its necessity far more. Small change with large pyschologixal effect.
ImACraftyHooker
Quantity more than packaging. I beleive they max at 35 pills now. You'll wait till morning to take the next dose when you run out.
ImACraftyHooker
10 tablet max. 2 tablet every 4 hours is only 20 hrs the last dose puts you at potential overdose territory for the last dose because it
chase7436
Probably not. When the UK stopped using goal gas ovens, suicides fell and stayed down. People would put their heads in with the gas on(1)
chase7436
(2)to kill themselves, which is where the whole "sticking head in oven to kill yourself" thing in pop culture comes from.
