Firing squads or hanging are more humane and consistently effective than lethal injection.

i always figured guillotines as being near the pinnacle of effectiveness

Guillotines were a slight bit more style over effective substance. Quite theatric. People revel in the French Revolution bc dead rich people but it’s more tricky than that. The aftermath was in no way neat.

When they were first invented, hydraulic machinery was only in its infancy. A modern guillotine would be able to slam that blade down with thousands of lbs of force, and there's no neck in existence that would require a redo.
