- Chainmail provides little to no protection against impact damage. As we saw in Fellowship, evil beings who attack heroes in bed use slashing attacks with broadswords or similar weapons. While it might prevent cuts, it’s basically like being beaten with an iron rod that will break bones and rupture organs. It is unsuitable as armor. That’s leaving aside weapons like maces, hammers, and clubs, or a Seal Team Six scenario.
- It’s aluminum. Or aluminium, if you’re that kind of person. This is basically a blanket designed by Jony Ive. It doesn’t warm. It doesn’t protect. But it’s thin and lightweight. Which is the opposite of what you want in a weighted blanket.
- You can buy weighted blankets that come in a variety of weights and warmth characteristics for a fraction of the time investment used to make this. The money you save could be used to buy a home security system that includes a minefield or electric fence. If you’re impressed by what a claymore sword can do to an orc, wait until you see what a claymore mine can do.

I know #1 is a joke but for everyone else in history that's why people wore the aketon, or gambeson or padded/quilted tunic under mail. Provided impact protection and made mail more comfortable!
And the combo of padding + rings was more effective against cutting and blunt weapons than either on their own! And it was easy to maintain, repair, and the mail could be transferred from person to person with some addition or subtraction of rings.
Just all around quality protection.
Is this a copypasta?
I think OP is just passionate about this thing. 🤷🏻♂️
Too bad aluminum will oxides and cause black stains on the bed sheets
Replace bed sheets with aluminum.
Replacement bed sheets in question
It’s a Faraday blanket!
This will protect me from the harmful Covid causing 5g rays I've heard so much about.
Pure diamond chainmail for if you really wanna be cold. 10x more effective at heat transfer than copper
I need a pure diamond heatsink contact surface
You may well get one in your lifetime. CVD technology is becoming increasingly practical, and future improvements in computing may depend on it.
Every time I've messed with chain mail it's always felt like it's ripping out my body hair. This looks like torture.
Well, you're not supposed to wear it against bare skin. For suits of armor they wore padded jackets underneath the chainmail.
coil cut cosplay 'chainmail' is NOTHING like actual combat chainmail.
That's because the ends aren't welded and microgaps can snag everything.
If you can't braise aluminum (and most people can't) then you can use little dots of JBweld in the gaps. Time consuming but 100x more comfortable.

I think riveting the rings helps with that but it makes it way way harder.
Thank you for spelling aluminium correctly.
They were playing both sides
Also protects you from random stabbings at 4 am
Only if you wake up, otherwise a coup de grace automatically crits regardless of AC.
Well, not only men can be on the spectrum!
nice work, but the guys got some pretty stupid ideas on what 'a man' is
-
pursues his own interest, even if it seems weird to others.
-
brings an idea he cares about from germ to product, even though it’s a lot of work
It’s not so bad!
Yes, but are those two points gender specific?
I don’t think so, but our ideas of gender are individual- maybe that makes the perfect man for this guy and the perfect woman is decisive and well informed.
Because of my dad and husband, I have an association between manliness and home cooking, which is probably not super common, but it’s still definitely there in my head.
What is a man?
A miserable little pile of secrets
But enough talk. Have at you!
apparently; a human who likes being weighted down with chainmail
Given the chance to be weighted down with chainmail, do you feel like most men would enjoy or not enjoy it?
Given the chance to be weighted down with chainmail, do you feel like most men would enjoy or not enjoy it?
Circular reasoning. See above. A man is defined by those beings who like being weighted down with chain mail.
Okay, hear me out:
Given the chance to be weighted down by another man...
A miserable little pile of aluminum wire!
I can't judge. I do weird/benign shit like this too. I might even enjoy this if given the opportunity to try it.
