Not just guys, let me tell you

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I definitely want one

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago

I mean, if anyone, Captain Lezbian is the person who needs to have one

[–] Mobilityfuture@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (10 children)

Guys is technically a non-gendered term - FWIW

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I haven't seen it used much in a non-gendered way, so I guess that's why it has a clear masculine ring in my head

[–] JoShmoe@lemmy.zip 16 points 10 months ago

It is very common to hear girls use the term guys, and for people to address a mixed party as “guys”

I'll take weapons that are as dangerous to the wielder as anyone else for $500...

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You could say it's a double-edged sword

Even Warhammer 40000 chainswords usually have the blade shielded from the wielder's side. Yes, even the chaos and ork ones.

If I pull this out of a stump do I get to be king?

It's a cool shelf piece but in terms of practicality I'm to attached to my extremities to dare to turn it on

[–] Possible_EmuWrangler@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Listen, strange women lyin' near trees distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. That said, if you do pull it from a stump I'm not going to try and take it from you.

Is it time to rip and tear?

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Aesthetically? Hell yeah. Functionally? I am not taking a sword that can run out of juice to the battlefield.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 26 points 10 months ago

This is the kind of weapon you bring to a battle expected to be so bloody you die before it does

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

a back-mounted generator is still an option, although it just prolongs the inevitable.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Please tell me the Chainsword is a weapon in some game?

[–] goldenex@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

Any Warhammer game

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months ago

May your enemies hear the liturgical roars of your eviscerator before they fall. Emperor protects !

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This is quite gendered and stereotypical.

But hell yeah.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

You're right. All are welcome to marvel at the majestic chainsword.

Can confirm.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Btw cordless powertools are ridiculously powerful

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 months ago (4 children)

As someone with an electric chainsaw gas is still magnitudes most powerful. This sword would be cool and would cut but it wouldn't be like butter. You'd have to go relatively slow to avoid excessive friction binding the blade.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

By the time you get your gas chainsaw started in spring, I'll be six trees ahead of you.

That's a Dark Souls weapon if I ever saw one.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

I was thinking more of Warhammer 40k chainsaw sword.

It's been 2 hours, where are progress pics?

I only use this when I’m chasing away kids

Everything is improved if you put a cross guard on it.
