Fun Fact: Most people who die from sarin, die from drowning because their lungs fill with fluid.




Thats like.. number two on my list of ways I don't want to die. Being set on fire is number one.

Also sends a statement to the proles that you are willing to use a nerve agent that even the NAZIs wouldn't deploy.

Yeah so David Simon made that same point, and now half of Twitter and Glenn Greenwald are falling over themselves to chide him for it. Also pretending that Simon is unaware of Zyklon B being used to gas Jews and others in the camps.

I read something one time that said the most painful way of dying is drowning but I don't know how you test such a thing.

The history of Sarin, like most of the NAZI weapons programs, is still under debate. But It was developed by accident when they were trying to create a new pesticide. Someone in the military realized that it would be effective as poo poo as a nerve agent and ordered it produced it weapons level quantities. Then, rumor has it, either Hitler himself or by proxy told whoever the gently caress was in charge that they would under no circumstances use it. Ever.


But it was created by the NAZIs and someone important in the chain vetoed its use because it was that bad.

Anecdotal evidence but... When I drown in a lake it wasn't painful. But that could have been the hypothermia. Its more the terror of knowing you are drowning that fucks you up.

The difference is you aren't drowning from lake water. You are drowning in your own body fluids which means you have other organs failing and lots of bad poo poo happening. Thats probably the painful part. That and knowing you are drowning... Which is loving terrifying.

Tabun (the first nerve agent in the same series as Sarin) was synthesized in 1902. Germany had a lead on producing both Tabun and Sarin, but when it was pointed out that the Allies would be able to produce more of both nerve and mustard agents, Hitler supposedly vetoed their use in open warfare.

I think you mean most peaceful, but that would be in a pool or something. You panic as you can't breathe, but if you're super hosed and realize it after struggling, you'll accept your fate and pass out before dying.

Almost drowned once in a flipped-over stryker and couldn't get my head above water because I was stuck, but after I accepted it, I calmed down and realized my helmet was stuck, unbuckled it and got my head above the water.

Oh, but my thought process wasn't "welp guess I'm gonna die" it was "welp guess I'm gonna pass out, hope all these dudes I feel struggling next to me remember to resuscitate me"

I'll try to google-fu the History Channel/AHC documentary that had a bit on it. They did a good job of a quick breakdown on the creation and abandonment of the program by the Germans.

So far everything is turning up the 95 Tokyo Subway attack.

Those accounts are almost uniformly bullshit and dumb, but the government wants to go after them for some wacky reason, so twitter is now suing the government.

Going in on Iran alone is insane. If we follow through on the (admittedly unlikely) scenario where we pursue NK, Syria, and Iran all at the same time? It's like writing your last testament and will to follow through with your suicide via gunshot by requesting each of your heirs shoot you in the dick before pissing on your defiled ashes.
