Wait, you mean going outside with a pithy sign on a Saturday isn't enough?

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 1 points 3 hours ago

Ask Robespierre how that works out.

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

No thanks. Wood chipper is the 21st century model and imagine the show and noise!

It's Ikea so it would have a delightful name like Nögginflogger

[–] andicraft@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

nah it would be called HUVUDSAKLIG

Neksknittå?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 14 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

It's made of compressed sawdust and honeycomb newspaper, with a pleasant plastic veneer that holds everything together. The screws are all very soft and strip out easily, the ones with Philips heads are actually Pozidriv but they never include a Pozidriv driver so those will strip too. The blade is some chickenshit low-end material made from recycled soup cans that bends and flexes all the time, the edge is barely honed.

So we get like what? 3 beheadings before it breaks? Still worth it for a HOA board

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

If you do get a good model, IKEA will discontinue it.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

The newspaper is The Wall Street Journal and all the allegedly recycled content is virgin, just the lowest grade possible.

Unfortunately, pen pushers and local organizers create and maintain democracy, not executioners.

Even if we root out all of the fascists, if we don't change anything then they will return next year.

Swede here, if you want an Ikea worthy name for this, I can see two options.

  1. Franson - old word to call someone a frenchman, it is also a surname meaning "son of Frans", Frans is a name derived from the Latin name "Franciscus", meaning "frenchman".
  2. Dalman - the last executioner in Sweden was "Anders Gustaf Dalman", he is also the only Swedish executioner who used a guillotine in an execution.

I would prefer something more like

HEDFÄLLA

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A good marketing angle would be to call it "KINDNESS"

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope, Ikea uses Swedish names.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is better, but I don't understand why you want to name an execution method "kindness" or "vänlighet"....

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Killing them with kindness is a common english phrase.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

Ah, it is a pun, I think a normal name is better though, then you can say something like:

Him? oh, he had a meeting with Franson, there are so many cutbacks these days.

Alright Mr. Trump, Mr. Dalman is here to see you.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

For some reason I get the feeling they would call it "FRANSKA"

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

4 out of 5 stars. I loved the real pine and I went with the antique finish which really complimented the blood of the nobility. Minus one star, though, as the neck hole was unable to close entirely on some obese (and unusually spray tanned) necks and required adjustment.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Three hundred dollars?! 😩

Maybe we can pool our resources? Everyone, empty their pockets and lets see what we got!

I have $0.89, a paperclip, a receipt for a doughnut and some lint.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 19 hours ago

I got a crazy idea on how we can get a refund after we build it.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Lint and a train ticket here.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the price seems a bit bourgeois

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Steel prices are through the roof with tariffs

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Surely it could be done with a plastic blade topped by a bit of stone for weight.

Sure, one might have to pull it back up and let it plunge back down a couple of times to finish the job, but that's alright.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

The piece of plastic that would work would cost more than the steel. Why not just drop a large rock on their heads. Clearly the guillotine wasn't gruesome enough to serve as a deterrent. Maybe that will be.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 13 hours ago

We could take over a home depot. They have everything we need.

[–] tinyvoltron@discuss.online 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Anybody got an STL so I can just print one? I'll use wood filament for authenticity.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 21 hours ago

The blade weighs about 40kg, you'll need some sort of filler

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Is this the new hedröll fitment?

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

That design does lend itself well for flat-pack. Needs a collapsible basket, though.

[–] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah, we'll fix our ((democracy)) by killing all the ((bad people))

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 14 hours ago

It worked in France!

Er... Wait...

[–] Djehngo@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear, use of the kit somehow wound up with a military dictatorship and an imperial empire?

[–] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

That's fine, just replace the words in parentheses with something wholesome until problem solves itself, or everyone is dead

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 4 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, we'll fix our ((democracy)) by killing all the ~~((bad people))~~ ((Rich people))

FTFY.
