I fuckin love my state. Keep it weird...... and also somewhat threatening.
PunnyTiger
the ultra rich need to be reminded that protesting and sharing petitions is the polite, gentle alternative to executing you for your crimes
someguy7734206
The people need to be reminded of this too.
PunnyTiger
The people of the states need to import advisors from France to teach protesting. and guillotine construction.

Also south korea, they have supply lines and hand signals.

Pretty sure they are. Otherwise the blade probably wouldn't be sliding through guide rails.
clonedeeznuts
There should be no place they can feel safe
GusTheBard
A very important lesson to learn...
DriverIRQnotlessOrEqual
Actually they were compared to the former method of using an executioner with an axe.
The axe could slip hurting the executioner or audience member, the axe could fail to kill the target meaning multiple swings are needed (deemed cruel and inhumane punishment), and the guillotine was quick for what it did, so less means of failure or escape
BishlamekGurpgork
But what if they hurt themselves?
Soggybathroomsock
They were meant to be enlightened. Quick, effective and user friendly.

They have to be safe for everyone not strapped into one

Or, hear me out, we do it like a fireworks finale, Elon in the guillotine, when it hits the bomb goes off taking out the other billionaires strapped to it.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
They were literally designed to be a more "compassionate" method of execution...
jacky2734
Fast, painless, and nearly impossible to fuck up. No other method of execution can claim all three.

I sympathize with the company drones. It’s next to impossible to avoid a guillotine once it’s set up in a courtyard

It's not enough to bring one, it's well past time to start using them.

Its okay, if theyre feeling unsafe, they can stand on the podium and speak about it for 3 minutes before being dismissed and ignored.

Salem city? How curious
CallMeMcGyver
Is that a battery powered, self driving guillotine? Nice. Strictly from a... novelty perspective... you know, as a joke... totally... we are going to need a lot more of those... bigger, more robust and automated... as part of the joke. The more realistic, the funnier it is... right?
mangoinparis
Much better photo choice for this post

with a battery pack, suggesting that thing drives electric or is more like a heads-chopper-offer - both valid and entertaining

What are those strange things at the top and bottom of the page? They look like they make browsing the internet a worse experience.

I believe they are called 'ads'. People who dont know how to use adblockers see them everywhere apparently.

What about that starry thumbprint to the right? I can only imagine it impedes scrolling if right handed

That's not an actual pic, that's a screenshot of the video from the article on the webpage. As much as I agree with the sentiment, even the video looks extremely AI generated. Why did they have a video of the guy who posted the video and not the actual video?

Good, they should feel unsafe only if they are doing something in direct opposition to what the majority of their constituents want. If they work for the people they should have nothing to worry about.
horsetuna
Surprised they didn't get arrested for 'threats'.
(I support the opposers)

ilenisaatio
I was a bit surprised too reading that. Either they didn't know, or (better yet) they didn't care anymore.
horsetuna
Wouldn't be the first time people in Salem were unjustly persecuted.
ilenisaatio
Good point. 👍
thedarklord187
There's a reason the French enjoyed them and I'll give you a hint it's wasn't because the wealthy elites liked them
Camelspotting
Yeah it was because the upper middle class who became wealthy elites enjoyed killing workers and peasants.
thundercactus
Rather ironic that the French both; killed too many people with them, and also didn't kill nearly enough of the correct people with them.
The French revolution didn't last very long before they had an emperor, a monarch, the previous emperor, the previous monarch, a different monarch, another different monarch, a very short lived 2nd republic, and another emperor. They had republics for only 8 years between the revolution and 1870.

I mean, it's just a guillotine. What could it possibly cost?

Schrödingers threat. Perfect parallel to concealed carry, only the gun is arguably orders of magnitude simpler to reach the quorum for immediate summary "judge, jury, & executioner."
horsetuna
I know. But right now in the USA someone was being investigated for a threat involving seashells so...
Dybidude5
Did anyone find out how the 3 shells work yet?
horsetuna
Not those seashells.

I thought there were 86 of them. Im so confused

Unless you're a liberal with a gun
LeoGrun19401
Guns are generally already regulated this is a disingenuous argument
keyserv
Except the overwhelming evidence that directly contradicts your dumbass opinion.
SisyphusRollin
Dude, what a fucking shithead you are. Making a disingenuous argument to call someone elses argument that, he's referencing a literal specific recent incident where all that regulation didn't matter at all in any sense and wasn't involved at all. A man was shot dead because he had a gun, not even on his fucking person at the time but because he owned a gun.
bamblebimble
Bro what?
zanaria
In the US guns are less regulated than cars, despite cars being primarily meant for transportation, where as guns are primarily meant to kill...
They LITERALLY reject a database of gun owners...
Goldensands
Car regulations in the US sucks arse 2
obviouslyrob
A trans woman is being prosecuted for aggravated assault because she pulled a gun on the man who shoved her to the ground and intended to beat on her more. In Wyoming, the most lax gun laws in the country.

Claims of "Eat one billionaire and the rest will fall in line" were highly exaggerated. We've had one Luigi, but it seems they want more.
Icetech3
It needs to be a feast, once you pop you just can't stop
ontarioOT
While he had the right spirit, Luigi aimed too low on the totem pole. There are 1,000's and 1,000's of Pharma Insurance CEO-level drones that protect the 100's at the top. Take out 1 or 2 of the 100 and then you'll see some pretty quick changes.
dffksh
Too bad those changes will be in "Judge Dredd (comic) was supposed to be social commentary, not instruction manual" category.
scandelaria
but you've got to admit, he's got spirit. he was also aiming at the one who harmed him the most.. we are the ones who made him our hero. you're so right though!

We do not. I don't own a gun. Nobody in my large family has ever owned a gun. Very anti gun. There are many like me here in the states. Not what we are known for but there is a huge anti gun movement in the US.
