TIL while sexual sadist serial killer Peter Kürten was in a guillotine, he said to a priest, "Tell me... after my head is chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment, the sound of my own blood gushing from the stump of my neck? That would be the pleasure to end all pleasures."

A lot of people are downvoting this but it raises a good point, I feel like a lot of it has to do with both mental illness and a horribly bad upbringing.

I have aspd, as a small child I'd drown and murder my toys and would rip small animals like frogs open because I was curious what was inside. In second grade if I made it a week without going to the principles offfice the principle would buy me mcdonalds abd have lunch with me. Was on heavy amounts of adhd medicine through my childhood and stayed emotionless. Throughout my life I've been plagued with suicidal, homicidal, and such manipulative thoughts I even manipulate myself.

When I was addicted to meth I realized how dangerous my mind could be when, long story short, my ex friends abusive hoodrat boyfriend shattered my jaw from both sides and my jaw was hanging by muscle tissue. I called him a fucking low life nigger and told him he was was about to die, decided I was going to kill him and pulled out a knife I was sharpening the whole time we were in the hotel and chased him while my friend was letting out a blood curdling scream until somebody intervened. I started screaming some pretty racist stuff and drove off with my friend.

I've learned since then to have incredible patience with practice and I'm usually too fake nice to everybody for somebody to do more than just talk a little shit. He may not have a conscious, but he knew what he was doing was fucked up and for many sociopaths and pschyopaths something so taboo like that is a huge turn on
