    Guillotine is almost certainly worse than hypoxia; having nerves severed is agonizing. Having almost all of them severed would be insanely painful.

    That said, what if we just didn’t kill people. That would be cool.

      If the nerves connected to the brain are severed, how can someone even know they’re in pain? (Also, they die immediately.)

      FYI, they were making a joke about complacent, exploitative rich people, e.g. the French Revolution.
