      So guillotine, but instead of a blade, just put a 2ft cube of steel to smash the entire head

        Compressed air spike to the base of the head. You’d be dead before the sensation of pain could be registered.

          I mean, we put cows down with a pneumatic hammer to the skull (Except the last place where I bought 200lbs of ground beef, found a bullet in that one. Also began questioning what parts were in the meat but I had already made 100 burgers and no one had become ill by that point…)

            This would be a little different. It’s a spike that goes through the base of the skull and then fires high-pressure air into the brain. It pretty much rips the brain to shreds instantly.

      is that sleep capsule used in assisted suicide for the terminally ill in some European countries too expensive? or is it a problem because that would be too peaceful?

      when I was in my 20s I overdosed on ambien because I wanted out, but was saved because I sleep walked and passed out outside and some people who knew me helped. It was painless and all I remeber was taking the pills and nothing after.

      I don’t believe up to 30 seconds is possible. A proper choke in judo can render a person unconscious in ~6 seconds. Looping the head off would be a complete cessation of blood flow, You probably would experience your head starting to roll into the basket, but you’d be long gone before you hit the bottom.
