Don’t log splitters work incredibly slow?
That’s not really gonna chop people’s heads off, rather it would inexorably pinch their necks until their head falls off.
That’s pretty fucking gruesome.
Comment on Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?

Use a log splitter with a different blade, higher capacity valance and an accumulator for faster action. Strengthen the frame and maybe add a dampener for the end of stroke so things last longer. Reloading ca be controlled by smaller hoses.

Most wood splinters do move slow but that one (Large valve and accumulator) would make it faster.

If we’re going for gruesome, how about we build a huge version of one of those slicers that they feed vegetables in, and just feed the oligarchs into it.
Gives you the option to feed them head first if you want to show mercy, while still being able to feed them in feet first for someone like Musk.
Then they are cut up into small, easy to compost pieces.

Wood chippers exist and are pretty much this

While I appreciate the composting efficiency, I was thinking something like this for maximum gruesomeness:

Sadism is a negative, not a positive.

“Last longer” was referring to the machine life not the execution. The accumulator is there to make it painless.

I thought they mean it for the equipment, that it does not fall apart so fast

If your execution equipment is wearing out from overuse then that raises further questions that a society should probably think about.

well I don’t know how many uses it takes to wear out a decent guillotine, from my part it could be good if it can do 5 turns. no idea
