And when we're gone, most of us probably won't have any humanly trace left over.

I intend to build a giant funeral pyre out of the most eco-friendly materials I can find, hang a non-nylon natural fiber (maybe hemp) rope over it, and when the time is right I'll light the pyre but hang myself before it really gets going, then my body will drop into the fire to be cremated. I won't be polluting the environment, but I'm not afraid to release carbon because that's a fucking scam. Also, I might do a lot of crazy ass shenanigans before I go so the government will be forever searching for me. But first I have to get old as fuck to the point where the suffering is greater than the joy and meaning in my life. I'm not going to suffer into oblivion. Also, before I hang myself I'll likely have some kind of drug-fueled last blast - if I can afford it in the dystopian apocalypse. Also also, I'd rather have a guillotine than a noose - so maybe I can make a good wooden blade or something and burn the whole thing. Maybe build something like those killer traps in the movie Predator. I've got some time to plan...

I'm not sure if a wooden guillotine would do the job. Maybe a third of the job.

How much you need? Actually all I need to be painless and over is some critical punctures with or after a knockout blow. I could hold the second trigger that is released with my consciousness.
