Bird in a jet engine – at THIS POINT in a video on Youtube.
It’s NOT gross at all because frankly, the bird turns into a powder. (A wet powder I feel sure, but WOW!)
“I just saw the *BEST* way to die. Talk about instantaneous, complete and painless. No gurgling blood, chest pain, or last-gasps. No staring at the ceiling or contemplating your mortality even for a few desperate seconds. No discussions with funeral directors about ashes or urns. That could be done on alcohol-and-morphine-drenched “retirement” platforms over the ocean and people could enter the food chain as phytoplankton at the bottom of the food chain in such quantities, and at such economy as no other available nutrient source. Sea life in the vicinity (especially if man-made reefs were constructed from concrete highway-castoffs around the platform) would positively boom, with all kinds of fish and aquatic life thriving on an endless source of rich zooplankton*.”
What would that look like?
I suppose you’d give a special breed of ‘travel agent’ $5,000 and you’d be flown to an “Island Platform” where you would spend time drinking, eating, (and if desired) carousing with consorts [Competition for the role would be intense among young people without adequate financial prospects but who would otherwise be attracted to the idea of stashing $60K in 30 days, saving for college or other life-improving endeavor] (It doesn’t have to be a poverty-stricken disadvantaged population serving the tourism industry, does it?).
You could remain as long as you could remain awake and when you finally lie down, and 5 minutes after drift out of consciousness, your ‘bed’ slingshots you into a colossal jet turbine.
Or if you’re not the type, you can just walk off the helicopter or boat and walk into the turbine with no further adieu. Either way, it’s more-than-instantaneous, and you don’t have to do anything. Instantly: there isn’t even a brain to register anxiety or pain.
Oh sure, like many thoughts in this website, this is a disturbing, novel idea with merit but which will never arrive in the minds of men. It’s just interesting to think about. Or make a screenplay from.
*Water-current / limnion studies would be needed in order to ensure that water turnover around the platform was suitable to prevent the adjacent water from simply stagnating or turning green with algae.
