Great until it grabs some skin or hair

Nutsack gets pinched

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 96 points 2 months ago

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

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Oh good so I just need the chainmail.

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.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Maybe we should have some kind of archive of the internet so this isn't a concern! Oh wait.

Have you ever worn chainmail without an undershirt? Or gambeson? It feels neat at first. Never had to worry about pinching. It didn't grab any hair. The metal will feel cool and smooth all night. But oh Lord, the awful pain it will bring to unprotected virgin nipples. Like surfing for a hundred years without a rash guard all in one hedonistic night concentrated on the area less than two dimes. NEVER AGAIN. A couple bandaids or pasties the next time and all is good.

I think you'll be fine with just a top sheet between you and the chainmail.

[-] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

So what you're saying is, he needs to add nipple holes!

And unlike most kinds of chain mail, this one is also effective at protecting the user from any thrusting attacks that could lead to penetration.

You got Mail

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Tai@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago

Any of those would make a great band name.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Wait holy shit you're right:

Risk of Scrotum

Risk of Labia

Risk of Nipple

Scrotum Tragedy

Labia Tragedy

Nipple Tragedy

Far Lower Scrotum

Far Lower Labia

Far Lower Nipple (uh?)

Lower Scrotum Tragedy

Lower Labia Tragedy

Lower Nipple Tragedy (ok, idk who had a lower Nipple but it's weird that it's in the list twice)

Lower Risk Scrotum

Lower Risk Labia

Lower Risk Nipple

Shit, this might be the biggest combo of band names in a single sentence I've ever seen

[-] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Far Lower Nipple (uh?)

That's the clitoris I think

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.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

What’s worse is this looks like butted mail instead of riveted mail, so it’ll have lots and lots of little snaggy pokey bits.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I can't tell from the potato quality of the pic, but that's likely. Additionally, for contact with anything that hasn't got a layer of leather between it and me, I would really prefer to have welded rings. Riveted ones are also quite the chafe.

It appears that whatever pattern this is isn't a typical 1-in-4 or 1-in-6, so I have no idea how it's actually constructed.

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

[-] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

Careful, from what I hear its an incredibly time consuming one

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

It's like knitting but for MEN™.

That's an understatement.

If anyone does want to get into it, don't do steel. Steel is cheap as shit, but you'll get carpal tunnel before you finish your first bag, belt or tie.

Idk if you can get like 16 gauge aluminum wire, but that would be far easier to work with. Or brass. just don't do steel

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

Oh fuck I was just thinking about how to solve my need for a heavy blanket while not constantly overheating and waking up.

[-] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] kitnaht@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Stainless is an insulator of heat. In fact, it's used in 3D printers to avoid heat traveling up the path where the filament is fed in from.

Copper with a silver or rhodium plating would be a good choice otherwise. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than aluminum, and silver does as well, but is also hypoallergenic.

[-] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't call it an insulator but it is a poor conductor of heat compared to aluminum. I think in this situation either one would be capable of dissipating heat better than just about any blanket.

[-] kitnaht@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You would be wrong in not calling it an insulator. Sorry.

https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-metals-d_858.html

Feel free to look at the chart linked above and compare to almost any other common metal.

Air has a thermal conductivity of 0.028 W/(mK)
Copper, around 413 W/(m
K)
Stainless is 14 W/(m*K)

In so far as metals go, stainless is a heat insulator.

[-] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Right, like I said a poor thermal conductivity but as far as blankets go, you won't find anyone attempting to get warm with chainmail because it would unfortunately result in an increased loss of body heat. In so far as blankets go, not an insulator.

Also worth mentioning I was trying to stay in the real of possibilities and this case stainless wire is readily available in many forms for welding, and would resist oxidation better than copper. Obviously we can just name the best conductors of heat.
