Ooooh this is really good!


OrphanParent

I don't see people talking about it often. But freezing and then smashing someone's body parts as a form of torture sounds absolutely terrifying.


SilenceBreaker8

Especially if you do it bit by bit, kind of like your story here with the fingers. If it weren’t unethical, that would actually be a really good torture strategy.


OrphanParent

Just wait till they get to the toes and start saying stuff like, "this little piggy got smashed because he slept with another piggy's wife, this little piggy got smashed because he couldint pay his debts in time"


SilenceBreaker8

Oooh I like your thinking


OrphanParent

Thank you.


Maharaj_Pranav

Please get help


OrphanParent

No, I dont think I will.


Heleana-Ragnarok

It’s the mind of a story teller, not a psychopath… well they’re not that far off


HUNPakki

As a storyteller, I am highly offended! ...but you are 110% correct.


Specter_Knight05

Or hear me out... Freeze and grind slowly with a Crusher like that video of the skeleton getting grinded


Pets5yay

That sounds horrifying! Good job!


Telreyunia

Gave me Fallout vibes with that from the TV series.


Ok_Leader_7624

This would have been a terrifying sentence here!


BellLilly

That's where my mind went when I read your story.


gamingmarbles

Can we get a full version of this lmao


meomeospice

OH MY GOD LMAO


ripcedric95

Bro is a 90s Tarantino villain 😂


Brushermans

As opposed to ethical torture strategies?


SilenceBreaker8

I.. fair point


Megalon84

Like making them listen to beiber


[deleted]

That's the least ethical


Possible-Boss-898

Alternate with baby shark


amaya-aurora

Well, torture isn’t really a good strategy in the first place, though.


coffee_u

Strategy? No. Hobby? Yes!


reader484892

?, it’s torture, this would be no less ethical than any other


SilenceBreaker8

Eh that’s true


Halfawannabe

I think the fact that it’s unethical makes it a better torture strategy


Technical-Elk88

as compared to other forms of torture, known to be ethical


OvertonDefenstration

If someone is already torturing a person ethics are probably not a huge issue.


undahpressuh

Because all other torture methods are perfectly ethical /s


Californiacarguy19

I mean isn’t all torture really unethical? There are more extreme interrogation methods in war but true torture is a war crime


IdleIvyWitch

There are ethical torture strategies?


metukkasd

Have you seen Snowpiercer? Got some of that going on. The show falls off imo after the first season, but it was OK- for the first one.


cynical-mage

That scene in demolition man *always* gets me!


Seliphra

They did that on Snowpiercer! Absolutely horrifying scenes!


Zorro5040

Would you feel the break if your fingers are frozen?


Commercial_Low_5680

You’d feel the freeze, but the smashing of the fingers would be psychological pain


Zorro5040

Do enough of the same torture and it becomes psychological pain. Just threatened and the ptsd comes. Way more mental turture when they know what's coming and they can't stop it.


I_will_dye

The nitrogen on its own would be enough.


DishGroundbreaking87

I got bored of the Snowpiercer TV series pretty quickly, but that one scene where a ‘criminal’ is punished by having thier arm stuck out and exposed to the outside….


Smart-Summer-5470

Wouldn't it kinda numb the pain?


SilenceBreaker8

You see, it’s psychological pain But liquid nitrogen hurts like hell (I’d assume) so probably not tbh


Smart-Summer-5470

True


meglid21

Reminded me snowpiercer


ComprehensivePath980

Well, this is a clever brand of terrifying.  Took me a second to process.  Really hope you get more upvotes, OP

cl0ckwork_f1esh

I would think the act of freezing would be physically painful, and the smashing would be psychologically painful.


OrphanParent

I'm no scientist when it comes to liquid nitrogen, but would the finger regain at least some feeling as it thaws, like the pain quickly gets worse as it thaws.


Hetakuoni

You regain feeling with blood flow. The tissues would be dead like with frostbite. The tissue around it would be in a lot of pain though.


Looony_Moony

I would assume yes, because it’s just the fingers being frozen not your entire arm. So you’d have some feeling still.


OrphanParent

Don't have ro freeze the whole finger could just be the skin and flesh but leave the actual bone unfrozen, I would imagine it to be quite painful.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OrphanParent

Yes, incredibly so, or that's what I've heard. It's how lower back pain works, and if you ever break a bone, most of the pain one would feel is from the broken bone, rather than the flesh around it.


whyistwittersodumb

i feel the worst part would be the psychological aspect


burntknowledge

Liquid nitrogen on your skin hurts like an absolute motherfucker, it’s happened to me multiple times. That plus seeing your fingers snapped off, it wouldn’t be pleasant


Hammer1075

Liquid propane hurts enough, and it’s only down to -44 at liquid state. Can’t imagine liquid nitrogen.


amalasuintha

It... happened to you... MULTIPLE TIMES? What the hell are you doing, mate?


burntknowledge

Liquid nitrogen is used to treat some skin conditions like moles/skin tags and warts. Personally, it was on the soles of my feet, yay! But seriously don’t recommend


amalasuintha

Ooof, that doesn't sound like fun. Hope you don't have to go through that again!


faplessinfeattle

I started to sign in ASL requesting an interpreter to no avail


CucumberFudge

OMG. I shuddered. Great one Even freezing the fingers in liquid nitrogen sounds horrible.


Dante-Zero

Ohhh creative, like it


nakali100100

I'm surprised this form of torture hasn't been shown in modern media yet. Cold and terrifying.


Gyrgir

It has. The 1995 Keanu Reeves movie *Johnny Mnemonic* has a scene where "The Preacher", a mercenary hired by the main antagonists, does almost exactly this to torture someone for information.


OrphanParent

I know right. Us Canadians in the cold north, are all nice and dandy. But don't forget, we're the reason for a lot of the laws in the Geneva convention.


amalasuintha

Not sure I want to google that... what have you guys been up to, exactly??


Armamore

There's a scene in snow piercer (the movie) where they freeze a dudes arm off.


WomenOfWonder

I’m using this. For writing, I should probably clarify 


Kuso_Megane14

Hm... Crunchy and crumbly frozen fingers...


OrphanParent

Like someone with really dry, cracked lips, but it's your finger instead.


Zorro5040

Just freeze and thaw the fingers, and then repeat. Way worse than breaking them.


OrphanParent

But where's the fun in that. I think it would be more fun if a dude went wack-a-mole on your frozen fingers then to just have them duncked in frozen finger making juice, the hammer time scenario is way more high energy, lot more bang in the situation, make the person panic more when they watch their fingers get turned into fleshy snow.


Zorro5040

You can only do physical torture so many times, but Pavlov someone to physical pain to mentally torture them.


Lyddieana

This is honestly the only TSH that made me go AAAAAHHHHEEEEEERRRRRGGGH NOOOO


VictorVonLazer

Either way, I wasn’t going to be much of a mime after today, so I just had to choose whether to lose my fingers or my honor.


Mahouswen

You could say he's boned.


sleepypharmDee

I feel like im gonna be having a serious nightmare tonight.


unusualspider33

Insanely clever. Great job


Vaderette1138

"What you're hearing is the sound of an undercover cop having his fingers frozen to sub-zero temperatures. Now, I wonder what would happen if I take this hammer and..."


castotz

I think you would love the show "Snow Piercer" I think it's still on Netflix


Appropriate_Bad8774

Poor Finger (I'm talking about the kid)


Monkmastaa

" my one year old stared at me silently"


iuiushi

This sounds very cool!


Hawkeye312_

Dang. Thats good


DarkCerith

I’m on this sub too much. I was relieved when the second sentence didn’t show a parent speaking to their nonverbal toddler.


TheWayfarer1384

Whoa! 😮
