no, it’s just an example of something that would be considered both cruel, and unusual punishment, to provide a sufficient example.
You can’t just look at something like nitrogen gassing and go “its cruel because it’s killing someone, and also unusual because it isn’t utilized often” It has to be literally cruel, as in, you shouldn’t do it period (general US laws would forbid it kind of a thing) and unusual in the sense that you would literally never do it.
That’s oddly specific. Did I miss something?
