Towed there by a bike. Fucking legends.
If you see a guillotine and immediately assume it’s for you, maybe you should reconsider some life choices. Because the vast majority of people would see a guillotine and go “oh that’s fucking cool” instead of assuming it was there specifically for them.
Because the vast majority of people would see a guillotine and go “oh that’s fucking cool”
They might also go “that’s concerning”. Most people aren’t great fans of violence, so the implication of a violent device might worry them.
But they still wouldn’t go “they’re coming for me”, unless they have a persecution complex and genuinely think someone’s out to get them.
Most of the latter group would be wrong.

Dude I used to live close to Salem. Way to go Salem. That’s so Salem of you.
If there’s anything we can depend upon, it’s the Willamette Valley interdiction to meeting corporate greed, and I love it. Represent. I’m there.
Edit: it’s a valley and not a velley. My phone is dumb, but apparently you guys get it.
Goddamned proud of my community.
I am truly grateful for our collectivism. This is home, because I know I always have family and will fight tooth and claw to maintain that.
LOL! Thank you France for developing an angled blade. Although the horizontal blade may not be a bad idea for the murdering bastards.
Allegedly it was originally horizontal and the angled blade was actually Louis XVI’s idea. So, good on him for making his own death less painful I guess
Sorry, bit of an amateur here. What’s the difference between the angled and straight blades? Besides the angling of course. Is one more efficient than the other?
Again, my apologies for my ignorance, most of my decapitations are done with chainswords.
EDIT: Everyone, thank you so much for the explanations. That’s what I love, physics lessons alongside socio-political reformation!
think of cutting food in your kitchen. slicing cuts better than chopping. an angled blade is similar to a slicing motion.
really it’s more that the cut starts at a smaller area than all at once.
I believe that an angled blade would create a more thorough cut as it’s a smaller point of contact for cutting. So it’ll cut through ligaments, maybe even vertebrae. Where as a flat one it is initially a small point that gets bigger which requires more force to go through the neck further.
This got me imagining a guillotine-ing that is narrated by the How It’s Made people.
“A worker places the oligarch’s neck in the correct position and then locks the top board in place.”
Watching the event in glorious slow mo.
Watch as the metal blade slices through the skin with supreme ease, then continues on through the main muscles of the neck etc?
My understanding is the angled blade introduces a force more like slicing and chopping at the same time
This is the way.

The video is misleading.
I have a bike. I don’t have a guillotine yet. New life goal unlocked!
I’m thinking about making one. It’s probably not that hard.
Why would he assume it was for him? Unless he knows he has done something to warrant it.
When I see a gullotine, it doesn’t make me nervous. Cause I know it’s not for me.
His reaction is admission of guilt.
To be fair if you have read anything about the guillotine you may realize that it doesn’t necessarily matter if it’s for you. Once people start using that thing it seems to be like a bag of lays chips.
People do usually get a bit carried away once they start executing during revolutions.
I am aware that happened for the French one.
Weird that so many Nazis were spared though. Only a fraction of them faced any consequences.
But I do recall that the after Germany was defeated , a lot of women sex workers were beaten and abused by their neighbors and called traitors when these women likely had very little say in turning down Nazi clients.
(In occupied countries)
Likewise the business owners in collaboration with Nazis should have been targeted more but instead people went after sex workers.
Beat them. Shaved their heads. Spit on them.
Easier targets.
That assumes he thinks the people are right that his actions warrant consequences. He can be aware it’s about him but also think they are wrong about his actions being a problem.
People shoulosd never come down to such threats, say the guys who totally ignore non-violent opposition.
Understanding that people are mad at you isn’t the same as accepting guilt, what are you talking about? Like I’m not saying he isn’t guilty as sin, but I highly doubt he has that level of self awareness.
For example, everyone knew the gallows were for Mike pence, but that doesn’t mean that Mike pence was doing the wrong thing… In that occasion…
That’s fair.
Surely he knows people don’t want these data centers. And is fully aware that he’s using underhanded unethical tactics to get it approved despite this.
But maybe I’m giving these people more credit than they deserve.
Most people with no ethics actually believe that what they do is fine and not wrong.
Honestly, I don’t think these people really think in terms of morality at all. They never even consider what they should or shouldn’t do, only what they can do.
This is the 4th time I’ve seen a post about this the past week with a top comment saying exactly the same (just with different words). It feels like being back on the latter years of reddit. And please don’t misunderstand me, I don’t disagree with you or the other three top comments about this at all, it’s just a new experience here on lemmy that mirrors what I’ve seen on reddit and other places before that which weirdly worries me. It’s this feeling of “this place has gotten too big or too divided to a point where the same thread happens over and over within a very short amount of time”.
But I’m gonna be clear about thinking it’s very possibly just my brain doing the weird shit it does and it not actually being a bad sign or the state of lemmy.Lemmy is very left leaning. You are likely to hear many leftist view points repeated.
Reddit used to be mostly left but due to censorship in the last 2 years it’s mostly overran by bots and sock puppet accounts.
It wasn’t the leftist that ruined reddit. Quite the opposite.
And his punishment? Guillotine!
I fucking love this song and listen to it at least once a week. The coup is amazing!
YES
That was great!

Something like that, according to LLM translation from the original text. Who am I to question the machine spirit.
Thou shalt not question the Omnissiah
Machine God.
Meeegggaaaa guillotine I looovveeeee youuuu.
The fact that it’s being towed by a bicycle makes it all the more better.
