Soup for my family. Weighs about as much as a can of soup.

Oh I meant to include: these i’m listing are blunt, which adds a little bit of weight compared to their ‘real’ sharp counterparts.

Oh for sure, i’m just saying a 3.5kg one is on the upper end of usable. I’ve used one a good bit lighter than that and one slightly heavier and the heavy one was a BEAST to maneuver.
This one is under 2kg for example: https://sigiforge.com/products/sigi-montante/
Regenyei sells one aka “The Beast” at 3.6kg as their heaviest offer: https://regenyei.com/product/two-handed-sword-01/

Once you go past that it gets so difficult to weild effectively - depending on your weight, strength and size of course.

if you feel the need to correct everyone then that’s kinda a you issue

True but also unhelpful imo. That’s how social networks took hold, right. it’s really hard to not voice your opinion if you see it (esp. unfairly) opposed.
I’m doing it right now, fully aware of it. I think it can lead to really productive interactions, just not with these types the OP describes.

It would not last even a week until I got into my first argument with a tankie. I saw them and argued with them from time to time on reddit, but people there usually saw right through the bullshit and downvoted them to oblivion.

I just had one of these interactions. The whole thread was like that.
I still enjoy the platform, but you gotta be very selective with whom you choose to engage.
Absolute insane trolling, fighting the sources not the arguments, then sharing archived banned tweets as their sources :D There’s no winning.
The only upside so far is that the right wing nuts seem to be rarer here, but tankies are the same thing with a different flavor.

The longsword second from the bottom seems pretty heavy for that profile tbh. Montante/Zweihänder (last one) is also on the upper end of usable weight. Bordering on ceremonial/parade sword

That’s a great one!

Rammstein is not a town though, Ramstein(-Miesenbach) is.

I think a good chunk of US american military folks are familiar with Ramstein air base, less so Ramstein-Miesenbach. Internationally I’d imagine even less of either.

Even plenty Rammstein (band) fans aren’t familiar with the origin of the name, nor the town near the airbase :)

I’d comfortably take a bet that Wacken rings more bells around the globe.

Wacken, Germany.

Population: 2110

Home to one of the biggest metal festivals in the world with something between 70k and 120k people. I think Tickets are limited to 70k currently but the whole area is bascially transformed for a week

Thats a specific situation you’re imagining and isnt necessarily what happened

I kinda used to like twitter to find related stuff to my interests and content creators in a more digestible form than sifting through subreddits, but nowadays its nigh unusable.

Keep it up, don’t lose that curiosity!

I think thats by design. Microblogging vs Forums.

Ths former, like the bird app is to yell into the void and hear what others yell while lemmy and reddit is built around it’s comment sections.

yo you got your own instance running at 13? that’s so rad

i’m a dev more than twice your age and i couldn’t be bothered to read up on it lmao

Mastodon doesn’t do it for me, most of what I find interesting isn’t really… there yet.
So my mains are Instagram > Discord > Lemmy > Reddit
In that order I’d say.
Instagram is just the most “personal” social network. I watch my friends’ stories, share some of my own here and there… It’s close to how we used facebook back when it wasn’t a cesspit of ads and “pages”.
Discord is where I keep in direct contact with most of my friends, besides like messengers. Reddit is for specific problem solving and random hobby content.
Lemmy is filling the same niche but I just scroll it more than I do reddit for news, articles, hobby stuff…

This meme happened like 15 years ago lol. This meme is awaiting peaceful rest.

Someone posted the original down here. Still weird. Same with his beach pics from a bit ago

Don’t get me wrong, I’m against judging appearances but I’ll take any chance to shit on musk

More like three weeks ago by that measurement

Pretty much the classic way of things:

“i gotta work out -> I’ll do it daily! -> oh no i missed one day -> might as well give up”

When in reality going once a week is better than not going at all. Going three times a week is difficult enough, especially when you have other responsibilities or hobbies.
