It still boggles me how people even come up with stuff like that 😭

Goddamn, Nero was just a majorly fucked up dude

[SoraTheKobold]

just people spending quality time together, not a cell phone in sight :)

[Goofy_Dominican]

Nero: sees a new way of torture
Nero: *hold on let me cook*

[BinaryJoe]

It baffles me that "Taking a Nero" isn't common vernacular for dropping a #2.

Life before videogame

[afrikasmith]

Now I'm thinking about that one scene in 2 Fast 2 Furious where the villain tortures and threatens a cop with the same method.

I used to go to a budget wax museum as a kid. This was one of the features in the torture museum.
Man... i totally forgot about it!

[shannonolivas]

It's torture for the person, but also for the rats.

[COELACANTHofficial]

Nero definitely had some issues as a kid.

[ferusrafaelamsel]

Reminds me of the torturer of Harrenhal from Game of Thrones who used nearly similar method for torturing prisoners of war. The fact that such torture method indeed existed makes it extra disturbing.

[henryszytko]

Reminds me of a similar method used during the Military dictadorship in Brazil, but...

Instead of a Cage and Hot Charcoal, it was a Metal Teapot and a lighter, and... it was put in the bottom hole of the victim, if you know what i mean.

This must be where Winston’s Room 101 comes from in 1984! This is really cool.

[Fitzroyfallz]

One of the only scenes in game of thrones that I absolutely cannot watch was when they recreated this torture

[giganticranger]

So, why couldn't the victims just, shake it off, shake it off off off

[MysticalZavier]

Those bread merchants are playing no games when it comes to someone stealing there bread

[amgprod.]

Carter Verone must’ve been a direct descendant of Nero

[MadzNotHere]

….well! I may hate a lot of things about the 21st century, but seeing this I know it could always be worse! 😅

[FirstNameLastName-veqk]

I'm pretty sure this torture method was featured in the Fast and Furious franchise.

[Neeneenugget]

Never heard about a cage being used, I was always told it was a metal bucket or bowl that was heated. Either way, what a grim way to go 😅
