@Nine @cozykaffe@snouts.online If you want something that cuts through plate armor, you're going to have to look to modern weapons like rifles. Or a plasma cutter, though you'd have to get your enemy to sit still for a long time while the plasma cutter does its thing.
@Nine @cozykaffe@snouts.online I imagine it wasn't as heavy as full plate armor, either, though what amounts to a few dozen phonebooks strapped to you is probably far from weightless.
I think the mythbusters did an episode on paper armor once, though I don't remember the results.
@Nine @cozykaffe@snouts.online It was quite good armor given what they had to make it out of, though. Like Kaffe said, the iron they had access to was pretty low-quality, and they didn't have advanced methods of refining it or of producing quality steel.

anyone know of any resources for a soon to be homeless person in the kalamazoo area?
@Caudle I do feel like you have a point. What you're talking about is reminiscent of the armor we've been slowly breaking down over the last year or two.
@monorail Is that why some people seem to always have a newline at the start of their replies? We had assumed it was just personal preference.
@monorail That's the system Creatures came up with, right?
@monorail I imagine you will shortly.
@Trinket Oh, it just happens to be the letters that have the smallest difference between monospaced and conventional spacing, evidently.
@Trinket Did you adjust the kerning on this somehow?
@Felthry Fel, you should probably have been asleep a while ago. We share a brain and I don't even know what you're thinking with this.
re: food, pickyness rambling
@Edelwood It's very strange for us, because there are foods where, if we know they're present, we won't eat them, but if we don't, we'll actually enjoy the flavor of them. Like onions; we can't eat onions if we know they're there--we actually gag. But we really enjoy a number of dishes that can't be properly prepared without at least a little bit of onion.
It also has to do with texture, so that could be related there, though. If the texture is sufficiently noticeable for us to know it's present, then it's unpleasant.
re: food, pickyness rambling
@Edelwood Pickiness about food and texture is a very common thing for autistic people like ourselves, due to hypersensitivity to that sort of thing.
We really couldn't tell you why we're so picky about food, it's just that we are.
@scoliwings Forthcloudst? That's a word we haven't seen before. A pun we don't get?
