Kill Your Tamagotchi

Yes, we all know it's cruel to kill off your Tamagotchi but what if you've ended up with an utterly useless mechanical waste that's neither cute nor good at games, and consistently foul tempered? Maybe you just want to hurry things up because you want to get another type of tamagotchi? Perhaps your type of tamagotchi won't make friends when you connect it with your best mate's, but you want them to be friends. If you've had more than you can stand already and want to quickly shorten your tamagotchi's life span, follow these simple steps.

Steps

  1. Remember, since it's modelled after a living organism, think in terms of what we need to survive and do the opposite!
  2. Don't feed it. This is a crucial step to getting rid of your tamagotchi. Hungry Tamagotchis aren't happy tamagotchis, and you know what happens to unhappy tamagotchis... Basically, not feeding it will get things to fall apart. Sounds horrible, but if you're desperate, starve it.
  3. Don't clean up its waste. Another crucial step. Just imagine a person in a room full of this sort of waste: if nothing else, they'd die from the fumes eventually.
  4. Don't turn out the lights at night. Combined with the poop step mentioned above, this is another small detail that will help you kill your tamagotchi.
  5. If it gets sick, don't give it medicine. If you've just fed your tamagotchi too many snacks or it naturally gets sick, don't give it any medicine. This will most definitely hasten things up - a sick tamagotchi is not a healthy one.
  6. Don't play with it. Playing games with your tamagotchi makes it happy, and that's not going to kill it off. So just leave the tamagotchi alone - don't do anything with it. Simply treat it like a battery chicken and it'll save you some time in the end.
  7. Don't pet it. Again, giving your tamagotchi positive attention will result in making it happy and that won't help you at all. Don't praise your tamagotchi, pet it, or do anything which makes it happy. Leave it by itself, alone.
  8. Reset it. Press the button on the back of your tamagotchi toy and save yourself the time of waiting for it to die. After resetting it, a new egg should appear and you can start over just like new.
  9. Overfeed your tamagotchi. It makes them very unhealthy, gives them toothaches, and will definitely shorten their lifespan.
  10. If you have the version 4 model, check the fortune cookies that come in the mail. Try to work on the areas that have the most stars. The less stars the better.

Tips

  • Don't feel really terrible. It seems cruel, but at the end of the day, it's an electronic pet. You also probably had a good reason, like you absolutely hated it and wouldn't love it anyway. If this is just for fun, don't do it. Have a heart.
  • An alternative to the steps is to leave in a closet or other out-of-the-way place for a few days. Alternatively you can put it on a shelf if you want to monitor it as it gives up the ghost.
  • If you feel guilty, you can play with your real pet to wash away the guilt.
  • Don't treat real animals this way.

Warnings

  • Respect all life, and remember you may have control over it now - but wait until someone resets you!
  • Some people may be upset by your questionable pet treatment. Don't worry - again, it's an electronic pet and if you strongly believe it's time, then alas...
