    No but my favorite bit joke punishment for a lot of ghouls is the old Korean punishment of rolling them up in a dirty straw mat and beating them with sticks until the mat's clean.

    I know they'd be misused by our current judicial system and end up being bad, but: shame based punishments. If white collar criminals getting a slap on the wrist also included being put in the stocks for a few days so everyone can tell them how awful they are I think that'd be an improvement

      Put Musk in the stocks and use his money to fund crates of rotten veggies to throw at him. He can come out when all of his money has been spent and all of the veggies have been thrown at him

      These do sometimes still happen, at least in Amerikkka. It normally takes the form of a person standing outside the courthouse holding I sign saying "I littered" or whatever.

    "The Melon Helm of Wisdom" - This was basically a punishment for giving bad advice. The guilty party would have a hollowed-out melon placed on their head, with holes cut for their eyes and mouth. They had to walk around the village giving advice to people while pretending to be "The Wise Melon Sage" and be a target of public ridicule. Villagers would often pelt the Melon Sage with smaller melons to show their disapproval.

    EDIT: Oh I just saw the Musk comment and thought this was just a general question. For Musk specifically, look up "scaphism".

      I don't like the rascist connotation it has picked up lately. It feels like a mixroagression to do that too someone.

        Oh shit how did they make the blood eagle worse?

        Eternal reminder you can have as many runic tattoos as you want but you have to cut them off of the Nazi yourself.

    Only for people of Musk's level of shittiness I propose the Breaking Wheel

    Well, I know this isn't medieval, but it could've happened once in the further past (blackleg: strikebreaker)

    They rub wet clay in the blackleg's face,

    And around the heaps they run a footrace

    To catch the blackleg miner.

    And even down near the Seghill mine,

    Across the way they stretch a line

    To catch the throat, to break the spine

    Of the dirty blackleg miner.

    They grabbed his duds, his picks as well,

    And they hoy them down the pit of hell,

    Down you go, we pay you well,

    You dirty blackleg miner.

    I know there is no historical evidence of it but Iron Maiden sounds good enough
