    Yeah, if we really wanted an instant-death mechanism with zero chance of any pain then we’d probably pack the victim in dynamite and vaporize them faster than nerve signals can travel.

    Unfortunately people who are pro-death-penalty are often weirdly squeamish about stuff like that.

      You’ve clearly thought about this. I didn’t need that visual in my head, but here we are.

        Wish it wasn’t a subject that I’d have to think about but it does come up way more than it should.

        On the plus side, use enough dynamite and there’d be nothing left to be squeamish about. Not even bits of teeth.
