I wonder what that would taste like on a cold day...

I guess the effectiveness and line of sight also depends on which way the door opens, standards on this differ wildly between countries. If the grenade explodes as soon as it exits the can, and the can is more than a grenade-length away from the door, much of the direct detonation shockwave and shrapnel would be blocked by the wall being between the explosion and the pranked person, especially if the door has to be pulled open. If the door is pushed open, chances are that at least the opening hand and arm is exposed.

It also depends on the material and thickness of the wall, of course. I have personally been about three feet from a hand grenade going off, with no I'll effects other than some dirt falling on me. There was of course a bit of reinforced concrete between me and said grenade. It was also outdoors which obviously makes a huge difference on experienced pressure.

Hitler, for example, survived a pretty big indoors explosion just a few yards away, only because he was mostly shielded by a table. Some windows may have been open which affects lethality more than one might assume. Didn't Mythbusters test exactly this?

It is also quite possible I've given this a lot more thought than I should've. When you know a lot about a subject, you want it to be correct. This is not such a subject.

Precisely. A forking truck.

Sure they are. It's just that notifications are evil too.

~I prefer Blade 3 and have seen it many times.~ It is very bad, too campy and sooo over the top. I love it.

Weird, I've never thought so. People say it's so thick and heavy and you can just drink one or whatever, but I find it more filling to drink lager. It is ackshually more calories in a standard lager than in a Guinness, or so I heard. Feel free to fact check as I can't be arsed.

Right on.

Right. So, it's bad because... Nah, I got nothing.

I knew what it was before I clicked, and it is exactly what you think. No need to click.

Depends on what you're doing. If operating machinery like a lathe or a mill or anything that moves and where you don't want to have body parts in the mix, no, you absolutely shouldn't wear gloves. They catch much easier than naked hands and take it from me, it's no fun getting caught. 🫠

Some protective cream is better when you can't use gloves, but I personally don't find it helps all that much. YMMV.

Otherwise yes, gloves are good. Much of the oil and shit isn't good for your skin and who knows how much gets absorbed that way.

Thanks.

Too bad. I would've enjoyed reading your version of it. 😆
