Often, restrictions require a prisoner to choose foods that are available within the prison system or that cost less than a preset limit. Prisoners are usually denied requests that include alcohol or tobacco products.

Cheeky 30k bottle of booze in there, are you working on that through the meal or is that the grand finale?

Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 62d

I edited because I realized I had the 17 year before not the 30. Did a quick google of the oldest eagle rare because thats what I thought I had. Turns out it was a 17. So the low low price of like 2 grand instead 😉. It'll be sipped throughout and then demolished when I'm ready.

Paradox: Request to eat the brain stem of the person who will deliver the killing blow / throw the switch / administer the injection / etc.

If you are then killed by their replacement, then you weren't given what you asked for, contradicting rule 1. If you succeed, rule 2 has been contradicted.

But seriously. It's hard to choose. There was this one pub I visited (with parent) as a child that made the most delicious, dare I say, succulent, miniature pasties. I think I'd like to gorge on those.

starman2112@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 61d (2 replies)

The executioner plugs the electric chair into a timed wall outlet. In 30 minutes, you will die. You do get revenge on the executioner first though, so that's cool

palordrolap@fedia.io · 1 pts · 61d (1 reply)

Maybe if they set the timer to go on and off at set intervals or made you eat the meal in the chair, which is unusual.

Otherwise you could take your sweet time eating that brain stem and they'd be unable to put you in a live chair without risking anyone else.

There's also the problem of what to do if there's a power outage.

starman2112@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 61d

Half an hour is plenty long enough to zom out on some brains, then get strapped into the chair. Even then, they can just set the timer for more time if they need it. If the power goes out, then good news! You get another serving of someone else's brains tomorrow

ashenone@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 62d (2 replies)

I don't want to eat it, I just want my execution to be hella expensive

unknown@piefed.social · 6 pts · 62d (1 reply)

Nah you should eat it, it'd turn you neon orange but you'll smell absolutely incredible.

If you get the chair the scent of your cooking flesh would be boardering on divine, and not to mention being the best smelling corpse the morgue will ever take delivery of. Hell, the section of graveyard you end up in will probably smell like saffron for weeks after thry put you in the ground.

Depending on how much you weight, that much saffron might even preserve you, like some kind of extra bougie mummy.

ashenone@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 62d

You convinced me. I'm gonna become 1/3 saffron when I am executed and I will request the chair.

Badly prepared pufferfish. Checkmate

9point6@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 62d (3 replies)

Are you really escaping the fate there? Just pulling the appointment up really

I'm fairly sure most pufferfish are safe to eat too, I guess if it's particularly badly prepared, it might give you salmonella

Not sure I'd go for that, but it's your meal

BillDaCatt@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 62d (2 replies)

Poorly prepared pufferfish (aka: fugu) would probably kill you. The pufferfish skin contains a toxin that, when expertly prepared, will make your tongue tingle a bit. When poorly prepared will really make your tongue tingle and will probably stop your heart shortly after that.

meco03211@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 62d

I wouldn't specify poorly made. I want the first one of a newly trained chef. Let em practice for real with no real consequences.

9point6@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 62d

Had to double check my original assertion, but I was more or less on the money

Fugu is a Japanese delicacy, specifically tiger pufferfish which has that neurotoxin, prepared by an expert to have the toxin safely removed.

Most other pufferfish have no toxin to be worried about regardless of how poorly it's prepared

I don't know, anything good, the food is too hard to pick. I love NY style, I love Chicago style, I love Detroit style, I love Neapolitan. It's all magical.

I mostly just want the fentanyl to go out in peace/quickly.

...I'm hoping that's how it works. I don't actually know, but I figure a full saucer should do the trick, surely.
