Paradox: Request to eat the brain stem of the person who will deliver the killing blow / throw the switch / administer the injection / etc.

If you are then killed by their replacement, then you weren't given what you asked for, contradicting rule 1. If you succeed, rule 2 has been contradicted.

But seriously. It's hard to choose. There was this one pub I visited (with parent) as a child that made the most delicious, dare I say, succulent, miniature pasties. I think I'd like to gorge on those.

The executioner plugs the electric chair into a timed wall outlet. In 30 minutes, you will die. You do get revenge on the executioner first though, so that's cool

Maybe if they set the timer to go on and off at set intervals or made you eat the meal in the chair, which is unusual.

Otherwise you could take your sweet time eating that brain stem and they'd be unable to put you in a live chair without risking anyone else.

There's also the problem of what to do if there's a power outage.

Half an hour is plenty long enough to zom out on some brains, then get strapped into the chair. Even then, they can just set the timer for more time if they need it. If the power goes out, then good news! You get another serving of someone else's brains tomorrow

Someone has to tell the bot when. There's always a human if you go deep enough.
