A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Collar stiffeners for a dress shirt. "Sir, they're pointy and they're metal".

I'm trying to imagine which action hero would be the best candidate for taking over a cockpit by dual wielding collar stiffeners, and can't come up with anything.

I'm imagining the Riddick tea cup scene

Kills the first with a tea cup, then sets down a collar stiffener

John Wick, without a doubt.

I could see it being a Bond gadget.

Dude I take my knitting needles on board all the damn time with no issue. I guarantee I can fuck you up more drastically with my slender nickel-plated metal needles than your little collar stiffeners. That’s messed up.

I've wondered if they'd let me through work some crochet hooks.

They specifically call them out as OK as long as they're under a certain size if I recall correctly.
