Is electrocution any good?

[Zenova_]

I wanna do either a toaster bath or like fork in an outlet but is it even a reliable or painless method? I feel like if electric chairs are the standard for executions it can't be that bad right? I also don't wanna start a huge fire in my attempt. Anyone know how good electrocution is?

So with the toaster in bath, most likely the outlet has a GFCI (or maybe called something different in another country). It has a switch that cuts off electricity to the outlet if it detects a surge. And it's very fast.

You would need at the minimum of 220V outlet (NON GFCI), but I would recommend more. Stand in salt water (particularly on a cement floor). Fresh water is not a good conductor of electricity. But salt water is a big conductor.

I am not in any way encouraging and/or condoning this act. This is strictly for educational purposes.

We've all heard the toaster/bathtub meme but I'm unaware of any suicides that really happened that way. Apparently bathtub electrocutions are or at least were a thing:

Bathtub-related electrocutions in the United States, 1979 to 1982 - PubMed

From 1979 to 1982, in the United States, at least 95 persons were electrocuted in bathtubs; 66% of the deaths occurred during the winter and spring. Children younger than 5 years had the greatest mortality rate, and hair dryers were responsible for 60% of the deaths. Until electric appliances...

It seems very doubtful to me, but I'm no expert.
