    It specifically says for thrusting or striking. That’s where the pizza cutter fails to pass as a sword. 😔

      IDK maybe they’re just really bad at cutting pizza.

        No fucking way dude, that’s slashing damage.

      You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.

      • whostosay@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I thought slashing but you might be right.

      Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.

      This image makes me angrier than it should. Those 4 “right angle” designations are all lies. You cannot have a curved line attached to anything and call it a “right angle”. It’s not. Like, factually. I don’t care if it’s 2 feet long, or 200,000 miles, it will never be exactly 90°, which invalidates the entire thing.

      • Abnorc@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        If it’s not a right angle, then what is it? Wouldn’t you just measure the angle between the tangent of the curve and the line? Working with the tangents is how you find the angle between two curves as far as I know. You say it will never be exactly 90 degrees, but it would be 90 degrees at exactly that point. That’s not a weird thing to say from a math perspective.

      • letsgo@lemm.ee ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        OK. Walk in a straight line for a couple of metres and stop. Rotate left or right by exactly 90°. Now take a curved path in any direction.

        Did you or did you not turn 90°?

      ah yes, ignoring that is actuality a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.

      not hard to make things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.

      • pyre@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.

        The idea isn’t literal, it’s to show that our language is entirely just noises that we’ve made into increasingly complicated levels of agreed-upon abstraction.

      This is not a parallelogram and is therefore not a square

    That blade is not infinitely long unless you measure the same part over and over again.

    A sword by definition has a “pointed blade” accordingly any object with an infinitely long blade cannot be a sword. Rather, it’s a blade ray.

    • rockerface@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Swords without a sharpened point had existed. You could only use them for cutting, not thrusting.

      source
    • GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      it does have a point. look at the blade from the side.

      pointy bit goes into the pizza.

    Im not sure what defines a strike but im pretty sure you wouldnt thrust a pizza cutter. If we’re being technical, it doesnt meet the whole definition.

    • GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I have used it this way to cut through some really crusty pizza.

      strikes are possible.

    No that’s a pretty finite length, even if you have to measure the atoms to do it.

      It’s also not length but circumference.

    I have used a pizza cutter to cut more than one pizza. I have also wielded a sword, (Ren Fair and fought a dual), and cut pizza with it. I have also field dressed a couple of deer and cut a few pizzas, (along with apples and sandwiches) with a Victorinox Classic keychain pocket knife over the years.

    Of the 3 pieces of cutlery, I find the Victorinox Classic to be the most useful.

      I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.

    I would totally forge a sword in Skyrim with the shortest blade possible (a nub) and name it “Pizza Cutter.”

      And then cook it with Dragon Breath. This is the most peaceful resolution for Skyrim. And I still feel bad about all those plates I stole.
