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
Marketing strategy powerpoints
Stage engineer: Fly system.
Thanks for this. It led me to a super interesting Wikipedia article on it.
Doldrums
I could bore him to death with Teams meetings.
You could definitely kill a villain with my laptop, if you fired it with sufficient force from a cannon.
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.
I commute, so train?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from horror movies it’s that unless you have some weird satanic ritual, nothing can stop the bad guy.
But also, I’m a janitor at McDonald’s; I could probably slow them down with soapy water or even just leaving the floor oily. I doubt they wear non-slip shoes. Pull some Scooby Doo shit, slick up the floor, Jason comes after me and slides into the freezer, which I then lock.
Does it necessarily need to be the tools of your specific job? You might not use the deep fryer in the execution of your personal duties, but it is at your job and, I imagine, could have an impact if you could get your opponent to it. (Perhaps even combining it with your previously mentioned strategy.)
I was just assuming the fryer or other actual weaponry (like knives) wouldn’t do any lasting damage to the supernatural horror pursuing me. But Home Alone style mayhem would be fun. Incorporate the grills, the fryer, etc into a Rube Goldberg machine of pain.
I was a manager at our student union building in college, very occasionally I had to go to the back of the food court since I had the magic keys and all. The shear amount of oil coating the floor after mopping in the Sonic area made me never want fast food again. I had non slip shoes and it was still like walking on ice.
You could Rorschach them with 🍟
Most of my tools could - just a matter of how many swings it would take. Running them over with my work truck would probably be the quickest and chainsaw the messiest.
But which one would be the most satisfying?
Zip tying their hands behind their back and handing them over to the police, I guess.
Nail gun lobotomy? Or maybe that was my band name in the 00’s. I don’t remember for some reason.
Yes.
Graphic Designer so maybe if it was a lawnmower man situation
I might be able to trick an AI into a paradox situation if I’m lucky, but that’s all I got.
Client feedback.
I’m imagining the villain putting a gun to his head because of a one-star review.
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.
What is PoE
Usually: Power over Ethernet
In this context: Path of ExileWas that one the “she never loved you and you will die alone” one?
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.
Ya I just haven’t seen it in a movie yet
I hope it’ll be in a documentary one day.
I wanna see this venture bros episode
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.
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!
Almost like that weapons museum in one of the john wick movies
Feels like my local Harbor Freight…
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.
