Its beautiful

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.
- And heavy, which it also is.
Is this a copypasta?
- No, man. My comments are like jazz.
- I think OP is just passionate about this thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️
- You can make it one, don't let your dreams be dreams
Claymore mines are terrifying. Most commonly, though, they are used in large open areas and may be problematic if your home is not rural.
Claymores fire steel balls at a wide 60 degree angle. It's stated that they are guaranteed a kill at 50 meters but can still be dangerous out past 150 meters.
While claymores are often depicted as being laser or tripwire activated, they are most often activated using a clacker detonator held by an operator. They can be rigged to detonate via both electrical and mechanical means, so they can potentially be activated by a variety of methods.
- I have an Army background (from a long fucking time ago). I was always amused by “Front Towards Enemy,” and we were trained to click three times.
  I still think the joke works though.
As we saw in Fellowship
LOTR is fantasy though

Literally anything you can DIY yourself can be bought at a lower dollar and/or time cost. That's not why people make things.
There are many reasons why people make things, but generally speaking it's because you can make exactly what you want, in terms of size, material and design.
It's fun, interesting, you learn stuff, and you get the joy of doing. This guy didn't want an off the shelf weighted blanket, even if it is cheaper/easier to get/whatever.
Sometimes, when you make things, they don't work. Or you realise that you made the wrong thing, or made it the wrong way. But that's when you get the buzz of knowing that you learned something, and the excitement of planning how to do it better.
Knitting takes a long time and the yarn usually costs more than a machine made version would. But I have friends who still have beanies and scarves that I made them 10 years ago when I was learning to knit. Why? Because they know that I made it for them, which gives them feels.
One benefit of a chainmail blanket like this though is easy even distribution of the weight.

Too bad aluminum will oxides and cause black stains on the bed sheets

Replace bed sheets with aluminum.
- Replacement bed sheets in question
Just blacken the aluminum.
And the sheets.
So you replace this with aluminum?

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.

This is why chainmail is always used with a liner. I imagine the guy in the posts uses a sheet or a thin blanket beneath
- This is what it means to be a man.
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.

- Huh, my roommate makes chainmail and I've never had this issue. Maybe it's a crafting quality issue, and he's just really good at keeping the ends together?
Accidental epilator.
I think riveting the rings helps with that but it makes it way way harder.

hear me out: tungsten chainmail blanket

Depleted uranium blanket. My sleep paralysis demon is a plutonium sphere.
- Even though the radioactivity would be negligible, it would still be toxic as a heavy metal. Tungsten is definitely the way to go here.
Magnesium chainmail if you're sleeping on the surface of the sun or next to my tiny girlfriend
- I'll say this for the thick girls, they're cool on the outside and don't bitch about freezing. Meanwhile, my 95lb. wife, permanently frozen and shedding heat like a hummingbird.
  First thing in the morning, sweating my ass off, legs glued together...
  "Babe! Let me embrace you!"
  "Get OFF! pant, pant, pant
Haters will say it's too hard to machine
That wouldn't have the same heat transferring capacity, but it would be heavier.
W tho
Could even be a heated blanket that glows.
Isn't tungsten kind of brittle? And radioactive?
- The brittlenes apparently depends on the form it takes (polycrystalline or single-crystalline). And while there are some radioactive isotopes of tungsten most of them are synthetic and only made in a lab. The vast majority of the tungsten found on earth is stable.

Thank you for spelling aluminium correctly.

They were playing both sides
No. The Latin ending -ium designates that something comes from a place. Like, magnesium was originally found in Magnesia. Aluminia is not a place. It's name is derived from the Latin word 'alumen' for aluminum oxide.
This is what happens when you let people read the Bible in English.
- The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element.
In America we say almuilum
- In the original book it was written as aluminum, the British publisher, got it wrong and the country has been saying it wrong ever since.
It's the aluminimum I could do

How loud will that be?

Not super loud actually, but it will definitely be noisy if you're moving around

Also protects you from random stabbings at 4 am

Hungry cats hate this WEIRD trick
- what's the difference between a weird truck and a normal truck?
Only if you wake up, otherwise a coup de grace automatically crits regardless of AC.
