Granted. Civilization and ecosystems immediately collapse as everything is in a constant state of climax. Hundreds of millions of people die in car, airplane and even train crashes. Rest is going to die soon due to cardiac arrests, dehydration and kidney failures.
how does that minimise suffering? I can think of a more minimal state
You never specified a duration. The suffering here could be minimal relative to the immense pleasure of the human species shortly before death
I'd rather say that pleasure is simply too great to notice that one's about to flatline, so people just go like that.
Hot
Their deaths are quick. They did not suffer.
you didn’t specify how long the suffering was minimized
Granted. The driving force for human advancement ceases and technological progress grinds to a halt. Hedonism grips the population and the long term rewarding efforts such as art are abandoned in favor of revelry. There is endless pleasure yes, but no satisfaction.
Granted.. They all die from inhaling nitrous oxide. Haha.
Granted, emotions have been removed due to the likelihood of emotional suffering. All fatal diseases and injuries are now immediately fatal regardless of initial onset duration.
Everything capable of suffering dies.
The few things that fit the latter condition die of starvation, some time later.
Granted.
Everyone, everywhere; from those on death's door from age or illness down to fetuses with enough nervous system to feel anything have a sudden cessation of pain, depression, anxiety, or other forms of suffering.
They then begin non stop orgasms that, despite slowly staving to death and dehydrating, leave them in total bliss until they die.

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.
