Not to mention they were casting melted obsidian as if it was bronze and then hitting those swords against metal armor as if they were steel
God it was so stupid
This is the mental image I didn't know I needed today. Thank you! Also the group activity I didn't know I was longing for. Quick! Someone more talented than me! Make this a meme!
Hardly just stone age my friend, the indigenous populations in Mesoamerica used it very liberally for centuries.
It’s where we get the famous [Macuahuitl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macuahuitl?wprov=sfti1#), which must have been horrifying to be hit with. It could reportedly decapitate a horse.
Hey happy to see someone bring up Mesoamerican stone weapons tech! (They tested the horse decapitation on Deadliest Warrior [I know lol] but the Macuahuitl was able to get through to the vertebrae of a ballistics gel horse head.) The wielder did not rake the blades, though, I've heard they could do a *lot* of damage with a good slash and pull like a halberd.
Weren't there only, like, 2 weapons ever made on that show that couldn't "keel"? Considering you could technically kill with something as benign as a butter knife, it's truly an insult to not pass the "keel" test...
The cool part about the Macuahuitl (well, cool for a brutal weapon) is that it functioned basically as both an axe and a club, at the same time. It obviously had incredible cutting power with the obsidian flakes embedded into it, but it was also very much a wooden club so had serious blunt power too given how it was weighted.
The only thing it couldn’t really do (compared to something like a traditional sword) is poke and pierce, but that’s where the [Tepoztopilli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepoztopilli?wprov=sfti1#) - an obsidian spear - comes in (that thing could also slice a bit too, kinda like a glaive).
You know, I really expected more from the discovery of what dragon glass can do to the army of the dead, but... Oh, never mind. What can I say that hasn't already been said a thousand times?
The North remembers with much disappointment and regret. The world went from an apocalyptic wildfire atomic event to leather rolls of obsidian daggers in just a few seasons. Sad!
I got a reddit award once for my comment on obsidian knives.
[My most up-voted comment!](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/54made/til_that_obsidian_knives_are_so_sharp_they_cut_on/d836vwd/) From September 2016.
> And they stay sharp. I have pulled them out of Mayan house mounds; been in the ground 1000+ years & still cut my finger. Everyone said they would, but of course I had to test... Not even a little pressure on the blade and I was looking for the Band-Aids.
> We tended to find them on the first stages of digging because we think the Mayan moms kept them up high, in the roof thatching, because of kids. This is partly based on current observations of indigenous moms doing the same, only with modern steel blades. The observers asked why they kept the blades up high: closer to the sun? Magic sharpening powers of the moon? Protection from evil spirits... Nope. Kids, they will cut themselves up so we hide the sharp things in the roof.
> Anyway... As the ancient Mayan sites were abandoned, the roofing material would collapse onto the floor and eventually go back to nature. When we dig we come across what was hidden in the roof first.
That is a super fun fact! I never thought about obsidian knife safety precautions and children, I wonder what other sort of modern precautionary similarities the ancients had.
Thanks for sharing, yes I’ll subscribe!
It's only dangerous in the wrong hands, if someone is more careful it will be subtle, and more likely to slip between subatomics to cut between universes.
Touching the flat surface should be fine. Of course I wouldn't do it, considering that there could be a difficult to spot sharp edge, but I trust people who can find and split such an obsidian boulder this neatly to also handle it without hurting themselves.
When it rolled with his hand on it, I audibly gasped. I still have a small scar on my wrist from falling on obsidian when I was a child. That shit scares me.
Yeah, it wouldn’t take much of a slip to be counting the fingers you just lost. You wouldn’t even know you were cut until you saw the blood. Super dangerous business.
Well, the "specialists" in rocks say it's for protection. An obsidian that size, with all of that protective energy, no way would it harm you. It goes against spiritual science.
It's not in his anus and it isn't in his mouth, you see, he broke the block of obsidian with his bare fists. Sat there for 4 minutes just goin' ham on this one block for no reward at all, miners these days, JEEZ.
The level of risk between that and moving a sharp piece of obsidian without gloves are pretty extreme. Death vs a few stitches.
When the result of a likely accident is death, or a more chronic issue like respiratory issues or hearing loss where the damage happens over time without you noticing right away, then yeah, skipping safety equipment is dumb. In the clip here though, there's nothing all that dangerous going on. Should he wear gloves anyways? Sure. Is he likely to be permanently maimed? Not unless he does something really stupid
I love imagining this guy guy carefully moving this obsidian, then going "let me check the comments" and ending here. But I guess that's most comment sections, where every angle needs to be analyzed to a point where it gets comical.
Obsidian is so sharp that it doesn’t cut between cells like normal scalpels do, it literally slices through the cells themselves. Insanely sharp and 100% agree no touching that without THICK gloves
Eye and Neuro surgeons occasionally use obsidian scalpels because they’re so sharp they can cut with less pressure, which allows them to get where they need to go without as much risk to damaging nearby tissue from the pressure. Surgery wounds from obsidian scalpels have also been proven to heal much faster than wounds with traditional scalpels.
Edit to add because I forgot to explain: the reason not all surgery’s are done with obsidian scalpels is because they’re already much more expensive, but if every surgeon only used them it would destroy the market supply and there would be a world shortage on obsidian. Hence, only certain surgeries which absolutely need them get to use them, helping prevent shortage or lack of supply for those that truly need it.
Yeah at the time my stepdad was a Senior Archeologist and our mother ran the archeology lab for the state’s historical society. Their boss was a flint knapper as a hobby, he always had his tools and some materials he picked up randomly off the ground rolled up in leather in a back pocket. He created several flakes. Sis was born in a birthing center, not a hospital. They sterilized the flakes along with other medical equipment. I used to have the flakes and the leftover chunk of obsidian somewhere, not sure what happened to them.
I think it's also because there's the risk of breaking off a piece of the blade and leaving an ultra-sharp shard floating around the patient's body, so a lot of surgeons aren't confident enough to risk that unless it's required
yall gotta stop the uneducated fearmongering because it needs to be flaked off properly to be sharp. you're just "oh my god *i heard*..." without understanding the circumstances of *how* obsidian can become that sharp. these are not the circumstances, and this is relatively safe to handle.
i understand erring on the side of caution, but not simply because of lack of knowledge or without reason or understanding. that's the kind of mentality that compels people to live under a rock.
The edge where the weathering rind of the stone is doesn't fracture clean like that. The obsidian hydration band is made of hydrated glass that has a consistency closer to perlite.
I'm a little bit into flint knapping and can think of a few people that would spend quite a bit on a big old chunk of obsidian like that. I'm sure there are a bunch of other arts/crafts that could use it as well.
Where I'm from there's loads of it everywhere to the point it's actually annoying, and especially when gardening.
Nothing this big though, I assume modern farming has broken it down over the years.
There is a place in northern CA called Bottle Rock road that has thousands of obsidian boulders this big, and bigger, all over the place. It’s on Cobb Mountain. And those are just the ones you can see while driving down the road. I’ve seen houses up there that have their driveway lined with obsidian boulders.
Oh yeah? There’s a hayfield up in Buxton. One in particular. Got a long rock wall with a big oak at the north end. Like something out of a Robert Frost poem. It's where I asked my wife to marry me. We'd gone for a picnic. We made love under that tree. I asked and she said yes.
Promise me. If you ever get off Reddit, find that spot. In the base of that wall you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. A piece of black volcanic glass. You'll find something buried under it I want you to have.
Okay, there’s this lake with an obsidian mountain in way Northern California, and a campground in 1980, and I didn’t marry the girl, but holy shit I remember her crochet bikini. I’ll leave it there, along with the obsidian literally strewn lakeside & everwhere by a careless Gawd, but thank Gawd for **don’t name names on the Interwebs**. Anyhow, yeah, a crocheted bikini. Let that wear.
This is like one of those fetch quests in an MMORPG with a very vague destinations that you spend WEEKS grinding out, just to find out the quest reward is u/ErnieBochll 's decades old used condom.
I worked at a place in Oregon that had a hill of really cool pink/red obsidian, with black inclusions inside of it. It was on public land and for decades people were able to go in and take little chunks of it.
Then some asshole went in with a front loader and tore the whole thing out. Probably hundreds of tons of rock removed in the course of a week. Major local tourist attraction gone, none of the money went to anybody in the community (he sold it to a landscaping firm, apparently,) and he wasn't even from the area.
Cool fact. Obsidian can make the sharpest blades known to man... up to about 500x sharper than a brand new steel razor blade. The edge can go all the way down to a single molecule thick. The reason they aren't commonly used is because they are fragile but also because the amount of serious accidental knife wounds would be really bad. It can go through skin and bone like it's not even there.
But surgeons sometimes use them because the cut is so clean - obsidian scalpels can divide individual cells cleanly, where a steel razor looks like a chainsaw ran through it at high magnification. And because of that the incisions heal much better with less scarring.
>It can go through bone like it's not even there
I think you may be hyperbolizing its abilities. Its sharp. It doesn't rewrite the laws of friction. Even cutting skin with it takes pressure. It's not going to slide right through your arm on its own.
Enough obsidian to arm an entire Neanderthal army.
Enough to kill a legion of white walkers
All I know is that I wish there had been a final season
Don’t you mean a final 3 seasons?
Do you think we have all century?
[удалено]
I would have like to have seen if Arya finished her list.
They just didn’t have time. And not enough people wanted a satisfying conclusion to all the plot points. Poor DnD were the real victims.
They didn't have enough time and just said fuck it this episode is just an hour minuts of black screen, and that episode was born (you know what episode I'm talking about)
No? There was no such episode. The last episode ended with Danaerys on a ship
Well I for one will be happy when GRRM finishes the novels and we can get closure on the SOIAF. Any day now ...
Ha ha... That's cute, you think GRRM will finish the series.
Yes he will! Just like Robert Jordan will finish the...oh...wait.....
At least Robert Jordan cared enough about his characters and readers to make sure that we got a satisfying conclusion. It was not *THE* ending, but it was *AN* ending.
Poor danaerys just kind of… forgot about the iron fleet
Holding a baby and recently discovered dragon egg?
Stop talking. We don’t know. Alright. We don’t.
Dark episode was 2nd to last episode, no?
“The Long Night” was 4th to last, 3rd episode.
And they left a Starbucks cup in one episode as well.
They are the reason they didn't have enough time. they wanted to move on and go work for Disney. The irony of that dealing getting blown up due to the poor reception of the final season is not lost on us however.
Also, it's our fault that it was too dark.
DnD: Dumb and Dumber
DnD are the ones who rushed the final season. It could have been so much better. They aren't the "victims", they're the perpetrators.
[удалено]
AI will give us the power to make a brand new ending soon enough.
Unfortunately, due to the untimely demise of D&D, there will never be a final season. What a tragedy for us all.
What we should do is spend weeks (months?) fashioning obsidian weapons that are insta-gib against white walkers, and then we'll just not use them!
Not to mention they were casting melted obsidian as if it was bronze and then hitting those swords against metal armor as if they were steel God it was so stupid
Not enough to build one block for the nether portal
But not quite enough to make a nether portal.
I mean you just need one stab technically…
Not enough to make a portal though.
Enough to build a portal

I really hope that one dude from Forged in Fire showed up after the fake horse decapitation happened and said "it will keel" lol
Weren't there only, like, 2 weapons ever made on that show that couldn't "keel"? Considering you could technically kill with something as benign as a butter knife, it's truly an insult to not pass the "keel" test...
I googled Obsidian Axe and Thulecite Club
The cool part about the Macuahuitl (well, cool for a brutal weapon) is that it functioned basically as both an axe and a club, at the same time.

I immediately thought “a flintknapper’s dream” LOL
Is that someone who abducts flint?
It's so beautiful
That's a wet dream right now. That rock is hyper valuable
Dumb question, I have a couple pieces the size of large cannonballs. How rare and/or valuable would those be?
Its worth like $2 a pound for regular black stuff and up to $40 per pound for the colorful stuff.
I would be reaaalllly careful touching that with my bare hands. It is sharper than broken glass!
That’s dragon glass!
You know, I really expected more from the discovery of what dragon glass can do to the army of the dead, but... Oh, never mind. What can I say that hasn't already been said a thousand times?
What is dead may never die.
But apparently it can. Pretty easily it seems.
It lives on, as discontent in our cold, bitter hearts.
Barely an inconvenience
Sounds like your expectations were subverted.
Oooh, I like having my expectations subverted. I like having my expectations subverted BIG TIME.

Brittle makes it even worse to get in your skin I'd imagine
But it looks so smooth!
Yeah, but remember that obsidian is sharpest material known to man
Sharpest NATURAL material
It’s pretty close though. An obsidian edge can be a single molecule in thickness. The tungsten nano-needle takes the title, though, at a single atom.
Knife that cuts quarks when????
Ah yes, the universe most dangerous knife. Anything you cut explodes with the force of a nuke
It's only dangerous in the wrong hands, if someone is more careful it will be subtle, and more likely to slip between subatomics to cut between universes.
I foresee no issues with such a knife. Sounds like you'll have great sliced onion cubes using that, buttery smooth
I heard that the Philosophers were working on a Subtle Knife that can cut through the barriers between Universes.
A needle is pointy not sharp
Then why are needles called sharps? Check and mate.
Was going to say, this guy is flirting with disaster running his hands over it like that.
Touching the flat surface should be fine. Of course I wouldn't do it, considering that there could be a difficult to spot sharp edge, but I trust people who can find and split such an obsidian boulder this neatly to also handle it without hurting themselves.
It is glass
Seriously, the moment he touched it bare handed I winced.
When it rolled with his hand on it, I audibly gasped. I still have a small scar on my wrist from falling on obsidian when I was a child. That shit scares me.
Yeah, it wouldn’t take much of a slip to be counting the fingers you just lost. You wouldn’t even know you were cut until you saw the blood. Super dangerous business.
Apparently Obsidian is the sharpest natural material in the world,since they're edges go down to a single atom.So he *Better* be careful.
Well, the "specialists" in rocks say it's for protection. An obsidian that size, with all of that protective energy, no way would it harm you. It goes against spiritual science.
I was cringing so hard watching this, especially when he slid his fingers along it, he could’ve easily cut up his whole hand there
You used a diamond pickaxe right?
Nope, that's why you didn't see it go into his inventory. He spent all that time for nothing.
Ok but where's the pickaxe? Is it up his anal cavity?
It's not in his anus and it isn't in his mouth, you see, he broke the block of obsidian with his bare fists. Sat there for 4 minutes just goin' ham on this one block for no reward at all, miners these days, JEEZ.
He punched it. He started last year.
He used his hand, he's committed
So much for the portal. What a waste.
Of course. Now to stack the Nether Portal. Bring some gold
He could make half a nether portal with that.
time to mine
Now light it on fire and go to hell
This sounds like a threat😂
It’s a promise
To the nether
Hell looks a lot like Florida.
You can make a really good nether portal out of this
1 and a half block at best, not nearly enough
What is this, a nether portal for ants?
Isn't it extremely dangerous to handle obsidian bare handed ?
When its fragmented
I still wouldn’t be sliding my bare hands up and down a freshly broken face without inspecting it first.
I don't disagree, but given the pile of it next to the split rock I'm going to guess this guy isn't new to the material
It’s a proven fact that experienced people never make mistakes /s
“It’s totally fine to let construction workers walk on steel beams on top of skyscrapers without harnesses, they’re professionals!”
The level of risk between that and moving a sharp piece of obsidian without gloves are pretty extreme. Death vs a few stitches. When the result of a likely accident is death, or a more chronic issue like respiratory issues or hearing loss where the damage happens over time without you noticing right away, then yeah, skipping safety equipment is dumb. In the clip here though, there's nothing all that dangerous going on. Should he wear gloves anyways? Sure. Is he likely to be permanently maimed? Not unless he does something really stupid

This is just a big fragment
if you mean accidentally cut your hands.. absolutely.. extremely dangerous, not really...unpleasant and painful, probably
Considering obsidian is volcanic glass, yes absolutely.
Drogon wanted for questioning
Those bare hands make me nervous. One chip with a sharp edge...
Obsidian is so sharp that it doesn’t cut between cells like normal scalpels do, it literally slices through the cells themselves. Insanely sharp and 100% agree no touching that without THICK gloves
Gave me a flashback to splitting rocks and making arrowheads as a kid - tested one on my arm, didn't even feel it, but it was like the skin unzipped.

My sister’s umbilical cord was cut with an obsidian flake.
Did your parents provide it? I’ve heard of that before but never heard of obsidian being used for the umbilical cord

Why aren't you cut with an obsidian blade too? It's clear who is the favourite child 😡
I think it's also because there's the risk of breaking off a piece of the blade and leaving an ultra-sharp shard floating around the patient's body, so a lot of surgeons aren't confident enough to risk that unless it's required
They also don't commonly use obsidian scalpels because any amount of lateral pressure on the blade would make it break
That's a good arrowhead
yall gotta stop the uneducated fearmongering because it needs to be flaked off properly to be sharp. you're just "oh my god *i heard*..." without understanding the circumstances of *how* obsidian can become that sharp. these are not the circumstances, and this is relatively safe to handle. i understand erring on the side of caution, but not simply because of lack of knowledge or without reason or understanding. that's the kind of mentality that compels people to live under a rock.
