Not just guys, let me tell you

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I definitely want one

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Mobilityfuture@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (10 children)

Guys is technically a non-gendered term - FWIW

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 19 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

[–] goldenex@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Any Warhammer game

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

People are supposed to see Kite Man and think "hell yeah."

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

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

This is quite gendered and stereotypical.

But hell yeah.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

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

Can confirm.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Btw cordless powertools are ridiculously powerful

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

I was thinking more of Warhammer 40k chainsaw sword.

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

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