Considering we're at a weird period of time in which the people who serve in government and the people who oppose the government are equally as f---ed up in the head as the other, it got me thinking about crime and the way punishments were given out long before we even became a nation or had a democratic process.
Thinking back as far as you can, list a few of the Capitol punishments and forms of torture that just like an absolute b---- to be subjected to.

on topic: any non-guillotine beheading not performed by a massive human with the sharpest possible sword/axe.
why? reportedly, beheadings prior to the guillotine RARELY were successful on the first hack.
Imagine that for a second. "we're just gonna hack at your neck 15 times with this shitty axe until your head falls off. it's the king's decree."
the guillotine was invented to be a humane way to execute someone.
This one is my favorite. Seen this exact one at the Amsterdam torture museum. Have some bad *** stuff there. Highly recommend checking it out if you are ever in the Dam.

The only problem is that the head doesn't die for a bit. So the person gets to see their own severed body and the people mocking them, before they run out of oxygen.
India had a better idea. Now THIS illustration has been seared in my brain for years now:

there is no emoticon for the face i'm making right now. i wonder how often the guy holding the condemned to the block got stomped on by accident.
anyway, i'd rather have a few moments of being a disembodied, living head than live through 13 axe strikes to the neck and have them try again after the executioner drinks some gatorade.
