> There should be a guide out there for how to mercy off yourself and others most efficiently/painlessly/rapidly in case the world ends To be blunt, shooting yourself would seem the quickest way to end yourself. At least for those in the US, owning a firearm is quite simple. Owning "suicide pills" would seem to be far more likely to put you on someone agency's watchlist.

>shooting yourself TBH having a firearm in that scenario would probably entice one to behave poorly in effort to survive. Cursory research of using gun has 80-90% success rate. That said it might skew 100% in a world where emergency services stop, but those are still pretty high odds of slowly bleeding out. And ultimately, as hypothetical euthanasia executor, I don't want to mercy shoot loved ones in the head. Side note: this is morbid topic I think about every once in a while after seeing meme comparing Google vs Bing when queried "suicide methods". Google showed prevention hotline, Bing showed a table with methods and success rate. What stood out was that most popular methods were around coin flip to negligible effectiveness. Seems like it's just really hard to gracefully end someone/oneself, which is my only real anxiety in these apocalypse scenarios.

  There is a fairly secure, "graceful", method but I'm wary of amplifying it for obvious reasons.
