seriously though, humans are amazing at developing creative methods for killing each other for personal gain, but i can't fathom somebody taking the time to think of such a twisted ways of tormenting another person...it's just inhumane

Phalaris commanded that the bull be designed in such a way that its smoke rose in spicy clouds of incense.[citation needed] The head of the bull was designed with a complex system of tubes and stops so that the prisoner's screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. According to legend, when the bull was reopened, the victim's scorched bones "shone like jewels and were made into bracelets."[3]
Perillos said to Phalaris: "[His screams] will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings." Disgusted by these words, Phalaris ordered its horn sound system to be tested on Perillos himself. When Perillos entered, he was immediately locked in, and the fire was set, so that Phalaris could hear the sound of his screams. Before Perillos could die, Phalaris opened the door and took him away. Perillos believed he would receive a reward for his invention; instead, after freeing him from the bull, Phalaris threw him from the top of a hill, killing him. Phalaris himself is said to have been killed in the brazen bull when he was overthrown by Telemachus, the ancestor of Theron.[citation needed]

pitchcapping seems good.
when they pour hot pitch onto your scalp and then let you beat your head against a wall until you die just to escape the agony.

pouring molten gold into the mouth would be pretty awesome too.

a shit i can't remember the name of that disease that (i think) primarily affect your skin. Something like your skin shrivels up on parts of your body, leaving other parts exposed. Most of affected people die of infection and related stuff.
Maybe not most painful but the pictures of infected people are gruesomely fucked up.

I read burning and drowning are the most painful ways to die, so I combined them - naturally.

You're tied upside down, hanging from a rope (imagine a pinata), and directly below your head is a tank of water. You are lowered into the tank (just your head) for 30 seconds at a time. You are lit on fire, tied with barbed wire, while people stab you with mechanical pencils. Eventually you are lowered into the tank until you die.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[Anonymous No.6382640]

>>6382604
Not true

Drowning is actually relatively painless, and 99% of fire death's are caused by smoke inhalation (which is why they teach you in firefighting skool that if your ever trapped in a fire just lift up your mask and breath in as hard as you can - no shit)

Though, I wounder what would happen to someone drowning in a pool of burning kerosine...

create a 'maximum pain' machine.

transform all the matter and energy in the universe into a nervous system, geared for maximum pain potential.

apply maximum pain to all neurons.

continue until energy in our universe is exhausted.

>Drowning is actually relatively painless
says someone who has clearly never drowned. When I was on the swim team I got trapped under a pool cover (we were doing breathing exercises and my coach was pissed at us for something). I panicked and inhaled water and it was the absolute most painful experience of my life. Also as a lifeguard I have seen the pained looks on the faces of other drowning victims as I pulled them out of the water. Drowning is absolutely NOT "relatively painless" by any means at all.

Alkali bath: You get the sensation of being burned alive, but your brain will continue working longer so you will feel every single burning pain that happens to your body. When you enter the Alkali bath, and your flesh begins to dissolve the pain will be intense, like being skinned alive, but then the inner layer of the skin starts to dissolve and that's where the real pain begins. Add to that the alkalosis overexciting your nerves, causing them to become inflamed and the convulsions that will soon follow, and then you will die. Your entire insides are burning and dissolving, yet your brain is functioning.

I'll give you that drowning is psychologically about as bad as a way to go, almost as bad as this

But, as some who has not only drowned, but has been fucked up 6 ways to Sunday, it is a RELATIVELY painless way to die.

[Anonymous No.6382717]

>>6382698
I don't doubt that there are more painful ways to die, but I do doubt that you have ever drowned. I have endured bone marrow biopsies that were less painful than drowning. Full inhalation of water (not just choking a little down that you can cough up later) feels like sucking down ice cold fiberglass and causes all your muscles to cramp up at once. Saying it's "relatively painless" sounds like you're quoting some movie and you don't really know what you're talking about. Less painful than being necklaced, maybe so, but a relatively painless way to die it is not.

"relatively" implies a comparison, and as such, there is no need elaborate you fucking autist.

[Anonymous No.6382767]

>>6382763
Then please explain, relative to what?

Because relative to other non-murderous ways to die, drowning is among the most painful, you fucking retard. If you want to avoid these sort of situations again, be more specific and don't try to equivocate your way out of it when you get called out on it, or better yet just don't talk out of your ass.
