Jacob Geller's recent video on execution methods changed my opinion on lethal injections. Apparently not only does it have the highest failure rate of methods used in the past 100 years, the paralyzing agent means that the executed could be suffering greatly, they just can't express it, which would be even worse than just excruciating pain. It deserves to be Mid at highest.

Hanging is a discussion of how you hang someone. For example there are the pull up, the short drop and the long drop method. The pull up method is really cruel and closely related to strangling. You choke to death and have several minutes to experience this, struggling for your life. The short drop in its ideal form will make you unconscious and then choke you out, but if you are unlucky it doesnt and you still struggle. Terrifying because of the unknown. The long drop will break your neck and is probably one of the most humane ways to kill someone.

Nothernlion, regarding stoning: "It would be like Among Us."

Fun Fact: The most recent was actually Nicholas Todd Sutton, who was killed in February 2020 in Tennessee. He chose the chair though, the last time it was mandatory was 2002.

Gas chamber heavily depends on the gas used. If it's some kind of nerve agent or poison in general it's terrible; if it's a noble gas then it's the best one.

The main reason firing squads went out of fashion is more because of the trauma gunmen developed rather than it being from a humanitarian standpoint. Also we started associated those with despotic government so it's not great PR. I think some states used to have a statute that you could at least get off death row if you survived because it's basically God's will at that point. I wish they offered the same to those who underwent failed electrocution. Edit: also the firing squad is voluntary nowadays.

I mean, technically it makes sense. The injection failing makes it more painful so more of a mildly disturbing, while the hanging snapping your neck makes it less painful. That said yeah he specified "just successful executions" so the injection part doesn't apply. Technically though i believe the noose snapping the neck is indeed the successful version (unless the executioner wants to be a dick about it, in which case it's the same as strangling).

Any form of death related to cooking alive is instantly worse than hell. And that’s only due in small part to the pure agony you experience as all your nerves are literally set ablaze by your own melting body fat, and due much more in part to the fact that once all your nerves burn away you’re simply left to observe your own body cook and fall apart as the flames overtake you until eventually your eyes boil and melt out of your skull, and presumable your inner ear also boils and explodes, leaving you blind, deaf, and unable to feel anything, you’re just a vegetable being melted.

It gets more sad if you watch this after watching jacob gellers video on capital punishment.

Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee still allow the electric chair if the death row inmate chooses it. Some states in the USA also offer lethal injection, gas chamber, and firing squad. Personally, I agree the "instead decapitation"/"neckbreak" seem like the better options than poison or lightning.
