    I’d settle for a Trebuchet emoji, because I’m fine with flinging billionaires across the landscape at high speeds.

    Honestly, a lot more fun than a guillotine, imho. Think about the ragdolling as they tumble in the air.

    EDIT: Also, the longer the hangtime, the longer they have to think about the decisions that led them to people wanting to fling their body a few miles with a trebuchet. No forced self reflection with a guillotine.

      eat the rich fling the rich at high velocities

      Not quite as catchy, but that does sound amusing!

      While fun to think about, they probably end up at least knocked out if not dead before they even get released.

        Surely there’s a fine tuning that maximises air time while not rendering them unconscious for the trip.
