As a machinist a lathe is the first thing that comes to mind, you get some clothing or even a rope caught in the wrong place and it’ll eat you alive

    A germy child that sneezes on its face. Teaching is a constant state of protecting yourself from biological warfare.

    An industrial wood chipper (used in saw mills). The disc is 5’ 6", holds 6 x 18" knives and can chip an 8’ x 15" diametre log in about 1 to 2 seconds.

    It is deadly as they come.

      I have a stack of planer blades at home and even turned one into a rough machete

    I work at a bowling alley with a bar, so there’s quite a few ways.

    • Hit them with a bowling ball.
    • Beat them with a bumper stick.
    • Make a Molotov cocktail.
    • Use the knives in the kitchen to stab them.

      I’m imagining the villain putting a gun to his head because of a one-star review.

          That’s the gist of what we’re doing to Elon these days. In case you weren’t aware, read up on how his PoE livestream went.

                  That too. The entire stream was flooded with trolls. And some of them really struck a nerve. I don’t remember the exact words, but I’m sure “You can be as successful as you want, but your insecurities will never go away. That’s why you will always feel alone. It will never get better.” …hit home.

    You could definitely kill a villain with my laptop, if you fired it with sufficient force from a cannon.

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned from horror movies it’s that unless you have some weird satanic ritual, nothing can stop the bad guy.

    But also, I’m a janitor at McDonald’s; I could probably slow them down with soapy water or even just leaving the floor oily. I doubt they wear non-slip shoes. Pull some Scooby Doo shit, slick up the floor, Jason comes after me and slides into the freezer, which I then lock.

      Does it necessarily need to be the tools of your specific job? You might not use the deep fryer in the execution of your personal duties, but it is at your job and, I imagine, could have an impact if you could get your opponent to it. (Perhaps even combining it with your previously mentioned strategy.)

      • I was just assuming the fryer or other actual weaponry (like knives) wouldn’t do any lasting damage to the supernatural horror pursuing me. But Home Alone style mayhem would be fun. Incorporate the grills, the fryer, etc into a Rube Goldberg machine of pain.

      I was a manager at our student union building in college, very occasionally I had to go to the back of the food court since I had the magic keys and all. The shear amount of oil coating the floor after mopping in the Sonic area made me never want fast food again. I had non slip shoes and it was still like walking on ice.

    I work at a tool store and often fantasize about a zombie apocalypse or something starting while I’m at work. Should fit this situation, so let’s go! If it happens in… Aisle 1: dual wielding a drill and heatgun Aisle 2: dual wielding circular saw and angle grinder Aisle 3: put on safety goggles, strangle them with AirTool hoses Aisle 4: dual wielding air nailers! Aisle 5: giant wrench Aisle 6: screwdriver to the face Aisle 7: steel automotive jack handles Aisle 8: wench snare traps everywhere Aisle 9: pickaxe Aisle 10: generator fumes Aisle 11: tumbling tower of tires Back wall: hammers!

    I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won’t do the job, I’ll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.

    Then I’m fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.
