She turned me in to a newt!

No one thinks they need a trebuchet until the day comes that laying siege to the Dairy Queen is the only way you can get them to properly make your Heath Bar Blizzard.

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Is that a trebuchet or is that the inferior *shudder* catapult?

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly couldn’t tell ya. All I know is they keep screwing up my blizzard. 😡

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Pro tip for you:

Ask for Cocoa Fudge with your Heath Blizzard instead of chocolate sauce. Even better, Cocoa Fudge with a small splash of cappuccino. Makes it way better.

The tech bros' mansions might be all kitted up with cameras, sensors, bulletproof windows and armed guards. But are they ready for three trebuchets? I think not.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 7 points 19 hours ago

This should be (and likely is) on c/antiquememesroadshow, I'm pretty sure this meme should be old enough to drink everywhere but the US.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

They are thinking very highly of the torque handling capability of the arm of that trebuchet compared to the support its base provides.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Imagine medieval YouTube. It must have just been trebuchet fail compilation videos

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago

Im sure it would have much more gory shit than that.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Cool, I'll take an ottoman style cannon. The seige of Constantinople was still medieval even if it was the last thing to be medieval.

Can a trebuchet shot penetrate a modern billionaire's prepper bunker?

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Grond will breach it. Bring up the wolf’s head!

When I was a child I was really obsessed with that damn battering ram just because of the Rankin & Bass film it appeared in.

I brought the VHS to my afterschool program to make my classmates watch it against their will (a thing we took turns doing on Thursdays) but the runtime was longer that the duration of the school program. I had to fast forward to the scene to make my classmates see Grond smash the gates of Minas Tyrith right before my mother picked me up to go home. It was a stressful few minutes.

Where there’s a whip there’s a way.

Imagine if there was a revolution and this old stuff was utilized with current tech as well.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 23 hours ago

I shall keep it next to my giant wooden rabbit.

No background checks is right up my alley because my dentist says I suffer from one of the following:

A) physical acceleration

B) debilitating Bananadine and peanut skin addiction

C) mental retardation

D) melamine poisoning

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Why did Melanie poison you?

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh so you do know her? We call her melamine Melanie because her breast milk is full of melamine, and boy did I ever drink that stuff up.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Heard she got banned from care.com for that shit.

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Yeah it's unfortunate, she's stuck working out of care.tripod.com/angelfire-geocities/melamine-tits.html now but hopefully she's done well for herself

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Not even a trebuchet, why don't you just buy your attacker a longer range weapon and ask them to use it on you? Save yourself some money

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

These bailouts for the oil industry are getting ridiculous.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 23 hours ago

Gimmie some of that Food Club cola
