In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It's done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

Also, it’s not a productive comment

Yes it is. I saw people confused, thinking that all suicide was illegal. My comment created context explaining that suicide is allowed in certain ways.

I didn’t downvote you

I meant that more in general, not to you specifically. If you felt like I was attacking you specifically, I am sorry.

The flag of Israel probably isn’t helping in that regard on Lemmy

possible. But imo that makes it even worse. Comments with information and context being screamed out of the discourse because of a unrelated matter, that's really pathetic.
