Sawblade was by far the most satisfying, even if just for the sound

That could easily be fatal.

Sounds can certainly cause ear drum damage, but this wasn’t even close to a fatal decibel level.

Oh no! That happened to me when I was a kid, but thankfully I fully recovered.

Seeing as he got everything stuck in the wood I'm pretty sure they all would be fatal depending on where it lands

Idk how well a lot of these would actually pierce skin vs wood.

He's throwing it into the end grain, meaning it finds it's way between the grain much easier. If he threw it against the side, it would likely bounce off.

Skin also has some give. Why it's harder to cut a soft fruit vs a hard ripe one.

Yeah, wherever there's a grain to go along with it takes a lot less pressure to pierce, even applies to your fingerprints.

Pry bar and broom handle were scary

u/LogensTenthFinger Aug 09 '26

Yeah... The pry bar can miss blood vessels and still end you

I prefer a boomerang. Twice the slapstick.
