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.

I can only imagine the depressing mix of religious content trying to guilt you, shitty funerary services that will send AI-generated quotes to your loved ones or something if you'll just scan the QR code to pay, and online casinos suggesting you whale for them one last time.

Edit: Don't whale too hard though. It's unpaid overtime for the ~~staff~~ independent contractors if somebody can't pay for the machine and makes a mess.
