    “But hey, at least it’s not a bat’leth!” (entire classroom breaks out in laughter)

      If someone attacked me with that, I feel I could defeat them with basically any other weapon…

        I don’t know much about weapons, but to me, the bat’leth always looked like it was intentionally designed to harm the person wielding it. Like they put it on the wall as a booby trap.

          Well, about that, it turns out the Bat’leth may actually be a half-decent heavy weapon with lots of counterattack options…

            Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

            Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

            It’s the “Cow Tools” of melee weapons. It might work to an extent, but we’ve had millenia to perfect bladed and spiked weapons, and somehow never arrived at anything close to the bat’leth.

              True, weapons designed for reach. Bat’leth is much better as a CQ weapon when tight spaces are a problem for long weapons. Of course, knives…

      Bat’leth saber for the real tryhards out there

      EDIT: I guess it would actually be called a light bat’leth

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
