It specifically says for thrusting or striking. That’s where the pizza cutter fails to pass as a sword. 😔
IDK maybe they’re just really bad at cutting pizza.
No fucking way dude, that’s slashing damage.
Also if the pizza is really hot, it does burn damage to the roof of your mouth.
You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.
I thought slashing but you might be right.
Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.
And the sheath
How can one sheath the unsheathable
ah yes, ignoring that it should actuality be a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.
not hard to make strange things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.
Relax, take a deep breath<3
The idea isn’t literal, it’s to show that our language is entirely just noises that we’ve made into increasingly complicated levels of agreed-upon abstraction. We don’t mine words out of the Earth, we develop them to create clear explanations that we can all agree on, and yes, the more you peel away or dig in, the more challenging it can be to create words that encompass all variations of an idea.
Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines
This image makes me angrier than it should. Those 4 “right angle” designations are all lies. You cannot have a curved line attached to anything and call it a “right angle”. It’s not. Like, factually. I don’t care if it’s 2 feet long, or 200,000 miles, it will never be exactly 90°, which invalidates the entire thing.
OK. Walk in a straight line for a couple of metres and stop. Rotate left or right by exactly 90°. Now take a curved path in any direction.
Did you or did you not turn 90°?
That doesn’t make the resultant diagram 90° at those vertices. That’s just empiricist stupidity.
OK, then what angle is it?
This is not a parallelogram and is therefore not a square
A weapon ❌
Used for thrusting and striking ❌
Long metal blade ❌
I was going to ask which squenix protag this was, but your alt text answered that for me.
Why do they all have a certain look to them?
If it rains, their socks are pure funnels to get water into the boots
A sword by definition has a “pointed blade” accordingly any object with an infinitely long blade cannot be a sword. Rather, it’s a blade ray.
it does have a point. look at the blade from the side.
pointy bit goes into the pizza.
Instructions unclear, pizza cutter stuck in pants and now I am circumferenced
Circumcized?
Circumnavigated
If she’s doing it right
I know what I said
I was going to define this as an axe
Swords without a sharpened point had existed. You could only use them for cutting, not thrusting.
Well it’s not infinitely long. It’s pi D’s long. With D being… well, let’s just say my “peanits”
That blade is not infinitely long unless you measure the same part over and over again.
Fr, what happened to 2πr?
Im not sure what defines a strike but im pretty sure you wouldnt thrust a pizza cutter. If we’re being technical, it doesnt meet the whole definition.
I have used it this way to cut through some really crusty pizza.
strikes are possible.
I heard a comedian call these “infinity knives” a few years back, and now it’s all I can call them.
No that’s a pretty finite length, even if you have to measure the atoms to do it.
It’s also not length but circumference.
You don’t need to leave the kitchen, just need a pi
Wait. Of the blade or the whole thing?
Diogenes ahh post.
I would totally forge a sword in Skyrim with the shortest blade possible (a nub) and name it “Pizza Cutter.”
And then cook it with Dragon Breath. This is the most peaceful resolution for Skyrim. And I still feel bad about all those plates I stole.
That’s not infinitely long, it’s infinitesimally long.
