Oh! Ive actually done a bit of research on this! I found some scythe like weapon alternatives that work well as weapons while still maintaining the aesthetic!
First, let’s start with war picks, also known as horsemans picks, or nadziaks. they look like this to start:
these weapons were fucking INCREDIBLE at piercing through steel plate armor, and was highly used by calvary in the 17th century with origins in the middle east and europe, not only were these functional weapons, but they were good, your armor wouldn’t protect you from a swing of this, and its not like not wearing armor would do you any good.
next, would be zaghals, or for long, indian zaghal axes, which look like this
these were made for a similar use as the war pick, but it’s structured to be a sharper edge with a reinforced point, which allowed it to pierce through armor, like the war pick, but kept the sides sharper, allowing it to cut more effectively, and the handles on them are short and long depending on preference.
Next we have indo persian war hammers, which look like this:
These ones come closest to the scythe in visual terms in my opinion, and are also my favourite, these ones are still armor evicerating, but have a counterweight hammer on the other side, which helps stabilise the swing, and adds more momentum, along with being a hammer on the other side.
And finally, we have the war scythe, which looks like this.
i know what you’re thinking, and yeah! i agree! its not a scythe like weapon, its a bad looking spear! these were made when farmers found out that their farming scythes were pretty sucky weapons and did like shit, so they repositioned the blade on the pole to be more usable! I hate this and i didn’t want to include this, but i have to because one of you fucks will do a 3 second google search and ask “what about war scythes” because you think you know more than me! i hate this weapon!
Also, if giant sickles are more you’re speed, there’s the Ethiopian shotel
I love this because unlike so many shitty videos pulling pranks on strangers, this one is entirely based on getting implied consent first. If they pick up the water gun and start spraying, it’s on. This is the kind of “goofing around with strangers” content we need, not like scaring people or breaking their stuff.
See this is why that post “you don’t want to be rich you want to live comfortably” doesn’t do it for me.
I DO want to be rich so when someone says “Oh shit my phone died I’m screwed…” I want to be able to say “Shit, here’s a prepaid visa code or something like that go get a new one.”
I don’t want to be rich, I want everyone to live comfortably.
when the quarantine ends we gotta get rid of capitalism for real. i’m not even being like a funny relatable commie teenager for the memes or whatever. capitalism is literally destroying the human spirit. i believe in the goodness of humanity!! i rlly do! but capitalism has built a society that values profit and productivity over human lives and connection. fuck elections that don’t mean anything fuck american oligarchy we gotta value each other and help each other
i vote mass riots and breaking down the doors of all the politicians and millionaires who are trying to keep us poor
I am absolutely saving this information for a future book involving werewolves and/or vampires.
Does he, like, know he’s the moon bishop?
The current Bishop of Orlando doesn’t consider himself the moon bishop, but the first moon bishop was super into it to the point of fighting the Archbishop of Miami for jurisdiction and even brought it up to the pope
