anyone ever consider building a guillotine?

[Disappointered]

would it offer a quick and easy method?

 

[greebo6]

It was very humane because its so quick. Not a bad way to go at all.

Building your own...….now that would be something!

 

[SN or RB]

It's amazing how difficult everything else is

 

[Disappointered]

yeah i'm not very 'handy' but i don't think it would be all that difficult to build

 

[Good4Nothing]

I've thought about this for decades.
A) it would be an engineering challenge for me to design and build one with my own three hands.
B) a quick and painless death!

If I'm not mistaken, a guy in England built one in his backyard several years ago, and decapitated himself with it.

Honoring your French heritage, I see.

 

[DocNo]

i somehow like the idea of it. but the carpentry job keeps me off it ^^

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Yes. I always wanted to build one but it will be suspicious since I don't live alone and I'm too lazy to do it.

 

[XYZ]

I imagine it would take me such a long time to build it, that I'll probably die of old age before it's finished.

 

[DontGiveAshiit]

I have to say generally I dont really care about how the people that will find me dead will feel, but man... this is too much can cause trauma for life

 

[mahakaliSS_MahaDurga]

I am not sure how would you operate it by yourself. Would it require assistance?

Hmm...I think it might be possible to have one where you can just put your neck in the groove and then pull a rope to release the blade.

Yeah. Sounds like a fun DIY project, tbh.

 

[All washed up]

If I was 'handy' enough to build a guillotine I probably wouldn't be unemployed and wouldn't be on here:)

I've always thought that would be such a nice quick painless way to go.

Nah, a lever man. Just a short handle you push.

 

[Pookie]

Wish I had a guillotine right now.

Pity you can't just order one from Argos ,have it delivered and do a quick self assembly.....but no ,its just wardrobes and coffee tables.....Life isn't fair...! )

(The last criminal execution by guillotine in France took place in 1977 , just in case anyone's interested)

 

[Disappointered]

Yeah and Sweden has one of the highest suicide rates so...why no Ikea guillotine?

 

[NeverEndingProblem]

Somewhere in an alternate universe you could get one from Ikea.

Ikeatine.

 

[Meditation guide]

Ikeatine.

for your quarantine.

 

[Fragile]

No, because I know that I'll fuck up somewhere and guillotines need a lot of technical knowledge to function correctly, and even then, there's always the possibility of it getting stuck halfway resulting in a very painful death.

I might be wrong but I think once it severs the spinal cord you're good.

 

[lil.yeet]

I read a news thing once of someone who did this

to hard for me

 

[Lawliet]

If you fucked it up, it would be seriously bad. It has to be big and work flawlessly. You'd need to test it on something similar.

But to be honest, you'd be an asshole to leave a decapitated body for someone to find. Can't imagine how traumatizing that would be, and you'd be all over the news.

Wow that's interesting. I would've guessed it was something like the 1920s

 

[Womps]

Id imagine the neighbors would be suspicious of the construction of a towering guillotine in my back yard

 

[Kramer]

Make it authentic by using a dull blade

 

[Amumu]

Yes I've already thought about that lmao.
But since it is hard to make,
I realized it was a pretty dumb idea.
