The pit has a medieval roots, I think he belongs in a pit.
Whenever I wake up with a crick in my back I joke to my partner that I want a medieval stretching rack in our bedroom to straighten it out
None of them, lol.
I know they'd be misused by our current judicial system and end up being bad, but: shame based punishments. If white collar criminals getting a slap on the wrist also included being put in the stocks for a few days so everyone can tell them how awful they are I think that'd be an improvement
These do sometimes still happen, at least in Amerikkka. It normally takes the form of a person standing outside the courthouse holding I sign saying "I littered" or whatever.
No but my favorite bit joke punishment for a lot of ghouls is the old Korean punishment of rolling them up in a dirty straw mat and beating them with sticks until the mat's clean.
Good!
I actually think it’d be really funny to do this in minecraft
Tomato throwing by pre-contact Europeans. American media assures me this definitely existed
The brazen bill, except instead of roasting himhim I a. Bronze bull we just put him in a cyber truck and send it software updates.
"The Melon Helm of Wisdom" - This was basically a punishment for giving bad advice. The guilty party would have a hollowed-out melon placed on their head, with holes cut for their eyes and mouth. They had to walk around the village giving advice to people while pretending to be "The Wise Melon Sage" and be a target of public ridicule. Villagers would often pelt the Melon Sage with smaller melons to show their disapproval.
EDIT: Oh I just saw the Musk comment and thought this was just a general question. For Musk specifically, look up "scaphism".
Not medieval but keelhauling for billionaires should happen
Blood Eagle! Blood Eagle! Blood Eagle!
I don't like the rascist connotation it has picked up lately. It feels like a mixroagression to do that too someone.
Oh shit how did they make the blood eagle worse?
Eternal reminder you can have as many runic tattoos as you want but you have to cut them off of the Nazi yourself.
Only for people of Musk's level of shittiness I propose the Breaking Wheel
The mongolians used to put people under the floor that they would dance and party on, slowly crushing them to death.
That was because of their blood taboo where the blood of nobles (or really anybody) should never be shed or seen, so they elected to kill nobles in ways that avoided bloodshed.
I am even more convinced we should bring this back
I want to cut off his balls and stick them in his mouth
Well, I know this isn't medieval, but it could've happened once in the further past (blackleg: strikebreaker)
They rub wet clay in the blackleg's face,
And around the heaps they run a footrace
To catch the blackleg miner.
And even down near the Seghill mine,
Across the way they stretch a line
To catch the throat, to break the spine
Of the dirty blackleg miner.
They grabbed his duds, his picks as well,
And they hoy them down the pit of hell,
Down you go, we pay you well,
You dirty blackleg miner.
I know there is no historical evidence of it but Iron Maiden sounds good enough

You’re telling me he’s unflayed?
Hung and quartered? I miss the old tarred and feathered.
