    I dove into the Wikipedia article about handgrenades. There's a common separation between offensive and defensive grenades. Those which cause shrapnel are usually considered defensive grenades as they're having a larger, unforseeable area of effect and because of that you want to throw it from a defensive, covered position. But often times offensive grenades which usually cause harm only through their shockwave could easily be upgraded with a metal cover that will provide a shrapnel effect.

    I actually heard that reasoning as well but after I read into it I came to the conclusion that this is most likely false. Roundly shaped grenades have been around for centuries and the first introduction of a pineapple-shaped grenades was by the Brits in WW1.
    Also a grenade is around three times as heavy as a baseball.
    But it makes sense that Americans were/are especially good at throwing grenades because of baseball.

    Since most of us can't afford retirement this should make a comeback.
    Or we push billionaires down a cliff and use that money to take care of the elderly.

    Somehow trolling in the fediverse is even easier than on Reddit. Probably because the lack of normies brings out the worst out of radical reactionaries.

  • To be fair I was well rested and since the heatwave is over I didn't have to fight the environment as much (although it rained and I was properly soaked and heavy). Also I looked up how to properly move while running yesterday and I realized that I had to include my upper body more into my movements. Using my upper body more is still a thing I have to consciously decide to do but I'm really excited that it'll soon go into my muscle memory and I'll naturally move better.

    I mean that's a cool feature Reddit didn't have. There are so many tech savvy people here yet I feel the boost button is mostly ignored even though it can be so much more powerful in how it changes the exposure of a link/comment. If I can't see the actual amount of boosts due to some fuckery with being on kbin instead Lemmy or whatever lmk. Edit because I immediately got plenty of confused comments. I enter the lemmyverse through kbin and this federation offers to not just upvote but boost a comment as well. For me this means I can give a comment more exposure. But I'm really not good with computers plz to halp. There's a very good chance that I entirely misunderstood what I'm clicking on all the time. Edit 2: I just wanted to let everyone know that this post was boosted eight times 48 minutes after posting which is a lot. Kbin represent!
