As a French, I can offer my expertise on Guillotine executions : it's B

[–] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'd go with B for obvious reasons

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's far from obvious

I'd bisect the neck

[–] Kerrigor@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

On which axis?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The good one

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The evil one

[–] simple@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

No way, I'd go for A. Wouldn't want that long neck wriggling about after the cut.

[–] tagirijus@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Maybe it depends where you would cut a human head of? In either way here is the skeleton of a Argentinosaurus:

Skeleton of an argentinosaurus

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

I do believe that Argentinosaurus has cancer between the 23rd and 24th vertebrae. They might want a second opinion.

[–] Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Alright! Now we can really start diving in. Would the gaps between vertebrae get larger at the base of the neck compared to the base of the skull? I'd imagine those thick bones could pose a problem for a guillotine blade.

That looks like a way too small heart for such a huge body. It looks only about 3-4 times bigger than human heart

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, is that what that is? Thank you!

[–] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not sure either but it's my best guess

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wasn't there a significantly higher concentration of oxygen 65 million years ago or something? That might make it easier for big things to get enough oxygen for aerobic processes.

I don't know shit about fuck with chemistry and biology it just sounds right

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I'm not seeing a human head on the dinosaur tho

[–] unnecessarygoat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

this is a much better skeleton of Argentinosaurus

[–] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

B but I also wouldn' use that guillotine, I'd use the 300ton one that the US government has for decapitating B52s

[–] FederatedSaint@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This makes me sad for the poor Argentinasaurus

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

B, obviously

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I feel weirdly uncomfortable with both and I would choose c) in the middle of the neck And I am not sure how to view you as a human being if your perception differs

[–] Computerchairgeneral@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

I would say B. Also, you would need a bigger basket for the head to fall into and probably a few more people on hand if you wanted to lift the head up to display to the crowd.

[–] matricaria@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Why not both.

[–] flango@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 years ago

Look at the picture like : BABABABABABABABABABA ... To unlock a new power

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You guys don't understand, you're supposed to make slices from a to b
