If you want to make sure, get a 220V extension cord if you’re in the US and run it to the laundry room or kitchen. Higher voltage is generally more effective.
That said, if you’re seriously considering this, please talk to someone. Life is worth living.
If you really want to electrocute yourself, pop the cover off your breaker panel, and grab the main line coming in to the breaker box. Home service is 200A in most cases, and the individual circuits are going to be less than that before the breaker pops. 200A at 240v (I think?) without a breaker or fuse to blow is more than enough to electrocute you.
Honestly, I probably still wouldn’t risk it, because if you don’t die, you’d have some very severe burns. I’d opt for a number of different options before I get anywhere close to electricity.
Oh, absolutely. Electrocution is very low on my list of ways to kill myself. Nitrogen asphyxiation is definitely number one, hemlock tea is number two (both water hemlock and poison hemlock are fairly common in the US). Electrocution is probably slightly above hanging, but just below standing in front of an express train.
Right. Does plugging an extension cord into the gfci protected outlet really circumvent that protection though?
No, not really. I think people are suggesting that the extension is used with a different outlet.
No that would be to plug in to another room that isn’t required to have GFCI.
Yup, like bedrooms.

Eh, I’d go with doctor assisted suicide as number one, but apparently we can’t have nice things here. Otherwise, I like your list.
To be clear, I’m nowhere near a place where I’d consider any of them though.
