the price seems a bit bourgeois

Steel prices are through the roof with tariffs

We could take over a home depot. They have everything we need.

Surely it could be done with a plastic blade topped by a bit of stone for weight.

Sure, one might have to pull it back up and let it plunge back down a couple of times to finish the job, but that's alright.

The piece of plastic that would work would cost more than the steel. Why not just drop a large rock on their heads. Clearly the guillotine wasn't gruesome enough to serve as a deterrent. Maybe that will be.

It's made of compressed sawdust and honeycomb newspaper, with a pleasant plastic veneer that holds everything together. The screws are all very soft and strip out easily, the ones with Philips heads are actually Pozidriv but they never include a Pozidriv driver so those will strip too. The blade is some chickenshit low-end material made from recycled soup cans that bends and flexes all the time, the edge is barely honed.

So we get like what? 3 beheadings before it breaks? Still worth it for a HOA board

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

The newspaper is The Wall Street Journal and all the allegedly recycled content is virgin, just the lowest grade possible.

Yeah, we'll fix our ((democracy)) by killing all the ((bad people))

It worked in France!

Er... Wait...

[-] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

what's with the parenthesis? Are you a nazi?

[-] Djehngo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Instructions unclear, use of the kit somehow wound up with a military dictatorship and an imperial empire?

[-] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago

That's fine, just replace the words in parentheses with something wholesome until problem solves itself, or everyone is dead

Wait, you mean going outside with a pithy sign on a Saturday isn't enough?

[-] tinyvoltron@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

Anybody got an STL so I can just print one? I'll use wood filament for authenticity.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

The blade weighs about 40kg, you'll need some sort of filler

It's Ikea so it would have a delightful name like Nögginflogger

[-] andicraft 1 points 1 month ago

nah it would be called HUVUDSAKLIG

[-] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No thanks. Wood chipper is the 21st century model and imagine the show and noise!

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

Ask Robespierre how that works out.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

4 out of 5 stars. I loved the real pine and I went with the antique finish which really complimented the blood of the nobility. Minus one star, though, as the neck hole was unable to close entirely on some obese (and unusually spray tanned) necks and required adjustment.

Is this the new hedröll fitment?
