A friend showed me once a video of someone building fireproof armor out of a pineapple.

In an alternate universe, Byzantium conquered half the world, and the other half is fending off greek fire using pineapple shields.

hopefully pineapple can get at least honorary pizza topping status for this so this bullshit debate can end already

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Agreed, but only the part that can withstand the iron ball, so you all have to start putting pineapple skin on your pizzas.

Still acidic, adds some chew and good fiber?

Bring it.

If you are an adventurer, the one trick to avoiding being eaten by a dragon is to wear a pineapple hat, dough shoes, tomato pants and a cheese shirt. Dragons are known to be quite the gatekeeper, and will refuse to eat the pineapple pizza adventurer.

Same goes if you have cheese undergarments, dough pants and a tomato hat as a Chicago style adventurer

Risky move if you're taking on an Ice Dragon... it might be Canadian. We love our pineapple pizza.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Super friendly, pineapple pizza loving, Canadian dragons are alright by me...

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I enjoy an occasional Hawaiian pizza.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

Why was the pineapple discarded?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

They didn't have any pizza to put it on.

Roll initiative.

Asking the real questions here.

They couldn't cook this mutant pineapple

Also, don't do pineapple armour, kids; this happens due to a Leidenfrost effect. The ball is hot enough to instantly vapourise water from the skin, insulating it with a thin layer of vapour. A less hot ball would damage it more, and so would fire.

“And the Pineapple Knight did slew the fire-breathing dragon.”

"And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu—"

"Skip a bit, Brother."

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, pineapples have always been associated with toughness.

[-] Wolf314159@startrek.website 16 points 1 year ago

And the pineapple armor works wonderfully, until its enzymes digest you enough that the line between knight and pineapple becomes unclear, like Leto Atreides II covering himself in Sand Worm Trout and becoming the God Emperor of Dune.

[-] faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Okay but this could be the lore for a Dark Souls NPC

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

You've seen onion armour, now fight the pineapple boss!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So if I wear pineapple armor I become a God Emperor?

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I mean… If you showed this to a medieval peasant and told them it was dragon hide, they might actually believe you.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Probably doesn't work when it's dried out though.

[-] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Keep it dry in your stuff and when you know a fire danger could be coming rehydrate it!

[-] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Now I need a paladin multiclass with pineapple rind plate armor, and a class that knows Create Water at level 1...

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

Oath of the Open Sea has that.

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for the source!

Oh, there seems to be no pineapple video but these are entertaining nonetheless!

[-] bunkyprewster@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man thanks for reminding me AG exists! They're amazing!

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's good armor if you can handle the constant acid damage from the pineapple trying to digest you.
