firing squad's a good one, but has moral implications. guillotine is top tier, as is the axeman (moral implications again). axeman less dependable than the guillotine though. drowning is cruel. hanging can be good, but can be fucked up if the calculations are wrong. hanging chambers are a fascinating thing. setting them on fire is extreme, inhumane, it's here for the next. riding the lightning is a unique one, gotta give it that, it's a++++ with guillotine for style. injection is probably the most cruel way you can kill someone next to drowning or setting them alight. it isn't designed to be good, it's a terrible cocktail of drugs, it's often not performed by someone competent. i'd say giving someone an od on opioids without the high is pretty cruel because it's an awful feeling slipping away but lethal injection is so much worse, if botched it can take hours.  i'm honestly not sure why they don't go with general anaesthesia and smothering them, besides the whole part where no anaesthesiologist wants the job and we're back to the whole morals thing. we could explore vacuums and oxygen deprivation i think, but only when we have sensors that can tell us how much suffering is inflicted on the sentenced in the brief time they're alive. it could be pretty cruel, like the drowning or lethal injection options. any ideas on improving it? i say bring back the axeman and guillotine. i'd deffo shag a guillotine.
