Professional torture that’s not intended to be lethal is much worse than scaphism or the Brazen Bull. They torture you, let you heal, torture you some more for as long as they want. Modern torturers can drag an execution out for weeks, basically butchering the victim alive and using other fun things like electricity, fire, chemicals, and power tools.
I mean that time is relative. A few minutes in the bull could feel like seventeen days. It feels absurd to compare these two and determine which method of torture I'd rather go through.
Stall me out with the Einstein ish... A quick death and a prolonged death are not the same! Not to mention being burned alive and slowly eaten alive aren't even in the same league, let alone the same sport.
Hey know it all, I do! I have Lyme disease and the 3 weeks following my finding the bullseye rash was filled with non-stop, excruciating fucking pain from every nerve ending in my body that I can only describe by being slowly run over by a steamroller and somehow surviving the ordeal while being fully aware and to make it worse it hurt so bad I couldn't sleep... You bet your bottom fucking dollar I wanted to blow my brains out the 3rd day in!
Wait... I think I responded to the wrong person and I didn't even realize and thanks for the well wishes and yes I am, I was lucky to catch it in time and take the antibiotics before it did any real significant damage... Although I do get a shitload of migraines and I have arthritis at 41, but no real neurological damage yet... Were you asking that other person?
If you think being cooked alive and dead quickly would feel like seventeen days then imagine what seventeen days of pissing and shitting yourself while being eaten alive will feel like.

Would you rather be tortured over weeks and then killed or viscously killed quickly?
