We all live for a blood red guillotine, blood red guillotine, a blood red guillotine. 🎺🎺🎺

I don’t.
I want the classic one as it’s far more sustainable & reusable, (even more) eco friendly, and the ride can be enforced in case they get last minute jitters.

Classy ,

I imagine that the carbon offset caused by a billionaire no longer existing would outweigh most “dirty” forms of death

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Im thinking poultry industry mechanised processing. We have those and they themselves labeled it ‘humane’ (Im not saying they are human or humane, it’s just the words we are using).

I read a brochure at my local butcher shop. The chickens they sell are put in crates and gassed to death. Supposedly pretty easy on the animals. This seems much more efficient than individual submersible trips.

Klingt als hätte ich diese Geschichte schon einmal gehört…

Sound like i hear this story before…

Sibbo OP ,

I understand. The ride doesn’t need external assistance though. It seems to have some natural magic force that attracts billionaires. I never heard the classic being used by a person on their own, out of free will.

Maybe they both have their own specialisation, so they can coexist without competing for customers.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

You are right. But the magic is working too slow for a meaningful all-around effect.

The classic is a proven method. Idj, Im just worried & don’t want to get it wrong.

You can’t really be killed by both at the same time, unless somehow the guillotine blade lands on your neck as soon as the submarine implodes. But even then, only one of them will claim a kill to its name.

So this is a case where we can’t just have both. And I’m always the one who references that commercial in comments.

The blade would have to be partway in your neck, because the subs implode that fast.

I guess I stand corrected.

I mean, there’s plenty of billionaires so it doesn’t have to be both at the same time.

I say we give the billionaires Elmer’s glue, q-tips and toilet paper rolls and whoever gets to the Titanic wins a prize.

You got the start to a deluxe pizza there

ZombiFrancis ,

They’ll never get to proper crushing depths with that though. I say we provide them with exact replicas down to the Logitech F1350s.

I’m okay with watching them swim six hundred and ninety kilometres to shore.

He didn’t said which side and how though, so the statement of “reducing number of soldier” could be true to the side using the gatling and also the side getting shot at.

Yeah, the first one starts with less and the second one ends up with les

Maxim’s inspiration:

“I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States,” Maxim told the Times of London. “He said: ‘Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each other’s throats with greater facility.’ ”

Anticorp , to noncredibledefense in Truly weapons of peace

I doubt that this is even remotely accurate. Even the slightest bit of critical thinking quickly dismantles that “belief”.

hydroptic OP ,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling#Gatl…

In 1877, he wrote, “It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine gun which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease would be greatly diminished.”

Anticorp ,

Why would he not realize that countries, generals, kings, and those in power would simply send more men to die? They will not send 2 guys with a machine gun and then simply accept that the battle was lost if their guy loses. No, they will send a million men, as many as are needed to take another foot of ground.

hydroptic OP ,

¯_ (ツ)_/¯

He was clearly not a stupid man by any means, but definitely seems like he was naive.

BeMoreCareful ,

Colonialism was super popular, so a couple of dudes with machine guns could mow down a field of natives with much less risk.

Plus a machine gun is much more impressive than some dudes with single fire guns. A platoon (or whatever fits on a boat or three) can be overrun. Throw a couple of machine guns in with a couple of brutal shows of force and you got yourself a colony.

WW1 was still a ways off and it wasn’t really the target market for your Gatlings and Maxims.

Anticorp ,

That’s actually a really good point. He must have meant that fewer “civilized” soldiers would die.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

It’s more likely he just didn’t think of them at all.

It’s the cotton gin logic. Eli Whitney thought his invention the cotton gin would reduce the need for manual labor on cotton plantations and reduce slavery. Instead it made cotton farming more profitable and revitalized slavery.

I think this is an instance of Jevon’s paradox.

Pretty sure the blood gets vaporized before it can be shed.

I think enhanced radiation weapons make for plenty of blood

The purpose of a soldier is not to die for his country, it is to make the other dumb bastards die for theirs.
