They make loosely braided weighted blankets. They won't be as cool as this, but they allow for plenty of weight while still maintaining good airflow. And a far lower risk of scrotum/labia/nipple tragedy.

I love those! I had bought one with the pockets of beads and hated it, but the braided one is much better. I've had mine for a few years now, and it's still hanging in there.

I'd be more interested in this for the weight. I want more weighted blanket than I can usually find, and I'm guessing this is heavier than that.

My wife loves hers and hasn't experienced any of the aforementioned tragedies... So far.

Fuck, now I want to get into making chainmail. Time to pick up another hobby I guess.

Seems like you would want to use stainless steel instead of aluminum if you're going for weight.

Edit: Yes I realize there are better conductors of heat but for the sake of using corrosion resistant welding materials I went with stainless.

If weight is the only thing you care about, then sure. The only problem is even normal weighted blankets can be an absolute furnace in the summer.

Is this how those people ended up with random piercings/earrings all over their body? Like Xerxes in 300.

Everyone knows you're supposed to wear a gambeson beneath your chainmail. Leather or padded cloth is best.

Ergo, full body gimp suit before bed

A not quite twenty year old thread where a guy got his nuts pinched in a chair and asked the internet for help

It seems very likely that I don't want to click that, but I appreciate the clarification.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can confirm that’s the source. Don’t worry about clicking it, most of the images are lost to time.

Which is a shame. It was hilarious.
