Post Gruesome deaths/ punishments in history.
>György Dózsa, led them in a wild jacquerie; they overran all Hungary, burning castles and massacring all nobles—men, women, children—who fell into their hands.
>The nobles called in aid from all directions, armed and paid mercenaries, overwhelmed the disorganized peasants, and punished their leaders with frightful torments.
>For two weeks Dózsa and his aides were kept without food; then he was tied to a red-hot iron throne, a red-hot crown was placed upon his head, a red-hot scepter forced into his hand; and his starved companions were allowed to tear the roasted flesh from his body while he was still conscious.

I literally live on Dozsa(Doja) street, literally 20 meters away from the place he is believed to have been executed. About 100 years ago they erected this statue in his memory.

The breaking wheel is a horribly painful method of torture in which the victim was tied to the side of a wheel laid flat on the ground. Then one of two methods was employed: Either the torturer used a sledgehammer to smash every limb to pulp, or the wheel was made to turn in transection with another, like gears, so that the victim’s body was crushed between them. No bone or section of bone was spared, except the torso and head to keep the victim alive. Sometimes the genitals were smashed. Then the victim was left in this condition to die from exposure, blood loss, or to be eaten by birds and ants

Han Dynasty founder Liu Bang's wife, the Empress Lu Zhi, had one of Liu Bang's more influential concubines eye's gouged out, ears cut off, and fed a "potion that made her mute," and then she had her limbs cut out and placed her in a jar of shit & piss, where she lingered until she died of infection days later.
This was during the time when her husband was long dead and she ruled as Empress Dowager, drowning her own son, the young Emperor in women and drugs so he's always distracted. She was hated so much that when she died, the Imperial Clan of Liu massacred her clan.
Why were people in the past so cruel? Was it the result of everyone having horrible childhoods and pent up rage? ISIS are the worst today and even they tend to just behead people which is pretty fucking tame compared to the past.

and throw them off tall buildings, and run over them with tanks, and put them on fire while they're locked in a cage

All of these things grant a relatively quick death.
Try to imagine things like the brass bull, the breaking wheel , being hanged drawn the quartered or the blood eagle.

Setting people on fire isn't a quick death.
Hung drawn and quartered would be much nicer actually.
