I hope it’s ok to post this.
The context of the cartoon (dentist office) should make it acceptable.
We SP-ers can silently cringe at the alternative interpretation.
Can’t say.
Never tried it, not even in the dentist’s office.
So far my teeth have been good enough that I haven’t needed any kind of dental surgery, so the dentist hasn’t had to use any kind of gas on me.
I do have a baby-tooth (incisor on the top left) that never fell out, so I have a mouth full of adult teeth except for the little baby one. X-rays showed that the adult tooth is in the wrong spot, so it couldn’t properly push the little one out of the way. They could probably do surgery to force it into the right spot, but I figured Meh.
i see..i actually also have two baby teeth still not replaced by permanent ones… i never had problems with my teeth except for cavity bleeding occasionally.
i dont really like therapists, doctors, dentists, etc. lol normal people are hard to deal with xD i dont want to ”open wide”
I am somewhat jealous of your lack of dental problems…. Dental problems are what I consist of it seems…. Had most of my first set of teeth pulled (lost like 2 of them on my own) when I was like 7 or 8, mostly because my adult set actually came in behind, which was weird having around 6 teeth behind your teeth feels really weird. Then eventually had to get a root canal (broke a tooth on a chunk of bone that was hiding in some food that shouldn’t have had bone) and that was actually really relaxing…. -_- then wisdom teeth, that sucked…. Never used anything except whatever they use in the needle…. Do they use helium? O.o that doesn’t seem like it would really do anything. Dentists are so much fun -_- Although in all honesty I would highly recommend a root canal….
I’ve had dental work done under no also. All I remember is the surgeon and his assistant talking about lunch. Funniest story about a sandwich I’ve heard before or since
Done correctly it’s the method, to get your teeth fixed permanently, but now the easy to get stuff is mixed with 02 which means it’s useless for fixing your teeth permanently, it’s only good if you happen to have bought it before last year, 🙂
No way. Too painless. I’ve never been able to understand the appeal of the painless exit. But then again, I’m absolutely nuts.
I’ll tell you what isn’t painless: the dentist! Oh man, my childhood dentist was a pretty scary man. Had no patience for children, either, which made me wonder why he chose to be a children’s dentist.
And my appointments always sucked because I’m apparently immune to laughing gas. Completely. He always had to stick me with needles or slather this analgesic gel on that never really worked. Also, his assistant was perpetually high. Don’t know on what. But she was clearly high on something, constantly. Once, she was drilling my bottom teeth, and the machine wandered onto my FACE multiple times. She just was not awake. Ugh. I get shivers just thinking about it.
So, these days, do you enjoy going to the dentist? Since you crave pain?
For me, I wouldn’t be comfortable with any exit that involved pain. Even though I’ve certainly tried ways that hurt a lot, I hated it. In the end I think there’s no exit that involves zero pain or discomfort.
It’s a shame, in a way– it’s like our bodies insist on living even when our brains emphatically disagree. 😉
OK let me throw my two cents in, when I go to the dentist I feel the pain and embrace it, that’s how i get through it, YEAH! MAKE IT HURT! I KNOW THAT YOUR MAKING IT HURT TO MAKE IT BETTER! SO GO HEAD HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!! OUCH!!! YMF!!!!! 🙂
My mom doesn’t enjoy pain, but she has a high pain tolerance.
She had a root canal a few years ago, and for some reason they couldn’t get the anesthetic to work on her, so finally she said “Just go ahead and do it anyway.”
And they did.
Full root canal, no anesthetic.
Well, it’s a bit complicated. I’ve always said that there’s some pain (only a few kinds) that even I’m not a huge fan of. Tooth pain being one of them. There’s just something about it.
But over time, I’ve grown to be a lot less picky, and a lot more…I dunno. Harder to satisfy. So yeah, I’ve grown to enjoy even tooth pain. Dentist visits are nice because they don’t just hurt, they’re scary too. They make me feel helpless.
I can at least somewhat understand why you might not like a painful exit. You already have to live with so much physical pain. You want peace. I want punishment. So I guess that’s how we’re different.

I see what you did there.
Sneaky and honest at the same time.
*only if it is mixed with o2.
I know nothing…..
it would be pretty sweet to die by helium wouldn’t it
Can’t say.

I actually starting laughing under nitous oxide during a procedure. The doctor was surprised. I don’t know why; it’s called laughing gas.

Funny cartoon.
I also think the helium method of suicide is BULLSHIT
I tried it one time >>> all it did was give me a headache.
it never works.
oh it does, it is one of the assisted suicide methods. you probably missed one part of the procedure
I’ll probably never get to find out.
I’ve reached that point where my health issues will be the most likely cause of my death.
The hard part is just to be patient and wait.

I’ll just wait for my health issues to kill me instead!
Cheaper that way, plus I get to be surprised.
brilliant! i’m taking the same path, we should hold out long as we can, we only can preform this trick one time.

I could never, ever, ever, ever do that.
