  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 48 points 8 months ago

And the combo of padding + rings was more effective against cutting and blunt weapons than either on their own! And it was easy to maintain, repair, and the mail could be transferred from person to person with some addition or subtraction of rings.

Just all around quality protection.

Too bad aluminum will oxides and cause black stains on the bed sheets

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 50 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Replace bed sheets with aluminum.

Pure diamond chainmail for if you really wanna be cold. 10x more effective at heat transfer than copper

Every time I've messed with chain mail it's always felt like it's ripping out my body hair. This looks like torture.

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is why chainmail is always used with a liner. I imagine the guy in the posts uses a sheet or a thin blanket beneath

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is what it means to be a man.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

A completely hairless man.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, you're not supposed to wear it against bare skin. For suits of armor they wore padded jackets underneath the chainmail.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

coil cut cosplay 'chainmail' is NOTHING like actual combat chainmail.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That's because the ends aren't welded and microgaps can snag everything.

If you can't braise aluminum (and most people can't) then you can use little dots of JBweld in the gaps. Time consuming but 100x more comfortable.

Magnesium chainmail if you're sleeping on the surface of the sun or next to my tiny girlfriend

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (5 children)

I'll say this for the thick girls, they're cool on the outside and don't bitch about freezing. Meanwhile, my 95lb. wife, permanently frozen and shedding heat like a hummingbird.

First thing in the morning, sweating my ass off, legs glued together...

"Babe! Let me embrace you!"

"Get OFF! pant, pant, pant

nice work, but the guys got some pretty stupid ideas on what 'a man' is

[–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 38 points 8 months ago (1 children)
  1. pursues his own interest, even if it seems weird to others.

  2. brings an idea he cares about from germ to product, even though it’s a lot of work

It’s not so bad!

[–] Turun@feddit.de 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but are those two points gender specific?

I can't judge. I do weird/benign shit like this too. I might even enjoy this if given the opportunity to try it.
