  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.

    You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.

    source

    • whostosay@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I thought slashing but you might be right.

  • psx_crab@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.

    ah yes, ignoring that is actuality 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 things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.

      something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.

      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.

      Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines

      source
  • Empricorn@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

    source

    • letsgo@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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°?

      If it’s not a right angle, then what is it? Wouldn’t you just measure the angle between the tangent of the curve and the line? Working with the tangents is how you find the angle between two curves as far as I know. You say it will never be exactly 90 degrees, but it would be 90 degrees at exactly that point. That’s not a weird thing to say from a math perspective.

  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.

  source

  • GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    it does have a point. look at the blade from the side.

    pointy bit goes into the pizza.

    Swords without a sharpened point had existed. You could only use them for cutting, not thrusting.

  That blade is not infinitely long unless you measure the same part over and over again.

  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.

  • GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I have used it this way to cut through some really crusty pizza.

    strikes are possible.

  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.

    I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.

  I would totally forge a sword in Skyrim with the shortest blade possible (a nub) and name it “Pizza Cutter.”

  source

    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.

• bluewing@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I have used a pizza cutter to cut more than one pizza. I have also wielded a sword, (Ren Fair and fought a dual), and cut pizza with it. I have also field dressed a couple of deer and cut a few pizzas, (along with apples and sandwiches) with a Victorinox Classic keychain pocket knife over the years.

  Of the 3 pieces of cutlery, I find the Victorinox Classic to be the most useful.

  Have you guys ever received a pizza cut into 9 slices? I have, and I just want to know why, and more importantly how.

    I asked the pizza place to divide the pizza into 0 equal slices and about 20 minutes later there was a loud explosion from downtown. Never did get that pizza.
