What effects would you experience breathing in titan's atmosphere(besides death)?

[th3shameless]

shortly before you die, what would it be like breathing in titan's atmosphere, assuming you haven't frozen to death? just got me wondering while i was reading about titan's atmosphere composition

Some of those make 0 sense.

notably these:

-Indigestion

-Severe thirst

-Fecal Impaction

-Fecal and Urinary Incontinence

-Irritability

-Radiation Sickness

-Poisoning

It was tongue in cheek because the question makes zero sense. You would lose consciousness in a matter of seconds and die of asphyxiation. What does it matter what other symptoms are?

[Kerbface]

I think I'd be irritable if I were experiencing the effects of breathing Titan's atmosphere minus the death part.

[Nuke]

you would probibly freeze solid before you could take a single breath.

[Brotoro]

You wouldn't lose consciousness immediately... Titan's atmosphere is mostly Nitrogen, with a maybe 5% methane at the surface (both of with are odorless gasses) at approximately 1.5 atmospheres of pressure. You don't die immediately on Earth just by breathing in gas that contains no oxygen (such as pure nitrogen or helium)...but you'll get lightheaded and pass out, and then die within several minutes. The problem on Titan is the very low temperature of its atmosphere (around 92 Kelvin), so unless you have some way of warming up the "air" you are breathing, you'd get very severe frostbite damage to your lungs and freeze them quickly. It would not be very pleseant, with terrible respiratory system pain before you lose consciousness.

[K^2]

There are going to be enough toxic compounds in the atmosphere to make you not want to breath the air even if you warm it up and add some oxygen. You don't need a pressure suit on Titan, but you do need a full breathing apparatus. And something really warm to wear.

[NovaSilisko]

Suffocation and hypothermia. Not exactly pleasant. Breathing in an inert gas like nitrogen doesn't really cause your body any alarm at first, until you start to pass out from oxygen starvation in the brain.

edit: it seems I've just paraphrased what brotoro said, oh well.

[SunJumper]

Shortly before you die, we would notice your screaming in pain would be somewhat deeper in pitch than usual.

[Motokid600]

If your on an alien planet or just in space. Let's say the space craft suffers an explosive decompression and the crew gets spaced. Would you guys say that's the scariest/most painful way to go out? My friend and I were having a conversation about it and he was stuck on burning alive as the worst way to go.

[Nuke]

nah, the most painful ways to go are on medieval torture devices. getting spaced you would just kinda pass out and i cant imagine hypothermia being that bad. certainly not as bad as getting racked, drawn and quartered, or perhaps impaled (things we hope wont happen on future space colonies).
