It’s a Faraday blanket!
This will protect me from the harmful Covid causing 5g rays I’ve heard so much about.
Too bad aluminum will oxides and cause black stains on the bed sheets
Just blacken the aluminum.
And the sheets.
So you replace this with aluminum?
How loud will that be?
Not super loud actually, but it will definitely be noisy if you’re moving around
hear me out: tungsten chainmail blanket
Haters will say it’s too hard to machine
Could even be a heated blanket that glows.
W tho
Isn’t tungsten kind of brittle? And radioactive?
The brittlenes apparently depends on the form it takes (polycrystalline or single-crystalline). And while there are some radioactive isotopes of tungsten most of them are synthetic and only made in a lab. The vast majority of the tungsten found on earth is stable.
Thank you for spelling aluminium correctly.
They were playing both sides
In America we say almuilum
In the original book it was written as aluminum, the British publisher, got it wrong and the country has been saying it wrong ever since.
the country has been saying it wrong ever since
If by country you mean the USA (and its northern colony). Literally everyone else in every language that matters spells it aluminium.
Also, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element.
Also protects you from random stabbings at 4 am
Only if you wake up, otherwise a coup de grace automatically crits regardless of AC.
nice work, but the guys got some pretty stupid ideas on what ‘a man’ is
-
pursues his own interest, even if it seems weird to others.
-
brings an idea he cares about from germ to product, even though it’s a lot of work
It’s not so bad!
Yes, but are those two points gender specific?
I don’t think so, but our ideas of gender are individual- maybe that makes the perfect man for this guy and the perfect woman is decisive and well informed.
Because of my dad and husband, I have an association between manliness and home cooking, which is probably not super common, but it’s still definitely there in my head.

What is a man?
apparently; a human who likes being weighted down with chainmail
Given the chance to be weighted down with chainmail, do you feel like most men would enjoy or not enjoy it?
i guess i would ask why only men would enjoy it, and, ya know, not all humans. why even bring gender it to it? its silly
like the person who brings a chicken to a knife fight. i guess its technically possible, but why would ya?
I think maybe we’re overthinking it. Maybe BeefyGorilla just really likes chainmail, and it makes him feel masculine, which feels good to him. And that’s okay.
I think this was his intent, especially because it looks like beefygorilla was commenting on someone else’s post
I can agree with this definition
A miserable little pile of aluminum wire!
What has he got?
Well, not only men can be on the spectrum!
Found Bennett from Commando.
It looks so good that it’s not Renaissance fair.

Aren’t weighted blankets most used by autistic people?
I think they are mostly used by people who feel more comfortable using a weighted blanket.
Can order plox
It’s* beautiful
- Chainmail provides little to no protection against impact damage. As we saw in Fellowship, evil beings who attack heroes in bed use slashing attacks with broadswords or similar weapons. While it might prevent cuts, it’s basically like being beaten with an iron rod that will break bones and rupture organs. It is unsuitable as armor. That’s leaving aside weapons like maces, hammers, and clubs, or a Seal Team Six scenario.
- It’s aluminum. Or aluminium, if you’re that kind of person. This is basically a blanket designed by Jony Ive. It doesn’t warm. It doesn’t protect. But it’s thin and lightweight. Which is the opposite of what you want in a weighted blanket.
- You can buy weighted blankets that come in a variety of weights and warmth characteristics for a fraction of the time investment used to make this. The money you save could be used to buy a home security system that includes a minefield or electric fence. If you’re impressed by what a claymore sword can do to an orc, wait until you see what a claymore mine can do.
I know #1 is a joke but for everyone else in history that’s why people wore the aketon, or gambeson or padded/quilted tunic under mail. Provided impact protection and made mail more comfortable!
Claymore mines are terrifying. Most commonly, though, they are used in large open areas and may be problematic if your home is not rural.
Claymores fire steel balls at a wide 60 degree angle. It’s stated that they are guaranteed a kill at 50 meters but can still be dangerous out past 150 meters.
While claymores are often depicted as being laser or tripwire activated, they are most often activated using a clacker detonator held by an operator. They can be rigged to detonate via both electrical and mechanical means, so they can potentially be activated by a variety of methods.
I have an Army background (from a long fucking time ago). I was always amused by “Front Towards Enemy,” and we were trained to click three times.
I still think the joke works though.
