As a machinist a lathe is the first thing that comes to mind, you get some clothing or even a rope caught in the wrong place and it’ll eat you alive

        Beating a villian through cyberbullying would be one of the funnier ways to win

          That’s the gist of what we’re doing to Elon these days. In case you weren’t aware, read up on how his PoE livestream went.

                  That too. The entire stream was flooded with trolls. And some of them really struck a nerve. I don’t remember the exact words, but I’m sure “You can be as successful as you want, but your insecurities will never go away. That’s why you will always feel alone. It will never get better.” …hit home.

    I work at a tool store and often fantasize about a zombie apocalypse or something starting while I’m at work. Should fit this situation, so let’s go! If it happens in… Aisle 1: dual wielding a drill and heatgun Aisle 2: dual wielding circular saw and angle grinder Aisle 3: put on safety goggles, strangle them with AirTool hoses Aisle 4: dual wielding air nailers! Aisle 5: giant wrench Aisle 6: screwdriver to the face Aisle 7: steel automotive jack handles Aisle 8: wench snare traps everywhere Aisle 9: pickaxe Aisle 10: generator fumes Aisle 11: tumbling tower of tires Back wall: hammers!

    The autopsy saw. It’s a gleaming monstrosity of stainless steel designed to part human flesh like Moses parted the red sea. You can stack zombies as deep as you want, the saw won’t even slow down. The only thing that will stop it is the length of the mechanical arm it hangs from, because it’s unfortunately too heavy for most people to lift.

    Recently retired from a place that makes rocket engines, and there’s just so much. Start with a rocket engine itself - the combustion gasses are like 3300 C (6000 F) with more than 400,000 lb of thrust. But there’s a lot associated. We dealt with lots of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. We have a giant braze oven that we can put a whole rocket nozzle into. It’s quite an arsenal.

    I’m an auto mechanic, honestly like 80% of the things I touch every day could kill most things if applied properly.

    Thinking about reach and convenience from my toolbox, I’m thinking the 5’ steel prybar (effectively a 10 lb baseball bat with a sharp tip) or the cv axle I took out earlier. Honorable mention to one of a variety of possible chemical attacks or just straight up dropping a car on it.

    You could definitely kill a villain with my laptop, if you fired it with sufficient force from a cannon.

    The cardboard crusher probably, just have to tip them over the edge. Puts them nicely in 1.5x1.5x1m cubes

    I work at a bowling alley with a bar, so there’s quite a few ways.

    • Hit them with a bowling ball.
    • Beat them with a bumper stick.
    • Make a Molotov cocktail.
    • Use the knives in the kitchen to stab them.

    I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won’t do the job, I’ll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.

    Then I’m fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.
