minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45·1 day agoI don’t know of a single engineer who has never built a trebuchet. I’m not even a “proper” engineer and I have like, five desktop trebs, 2 ballistae and some other odds and ends (3d printed, of course,) It’s like, a right of passage or something.
minus-squareKryptonidas@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·13 hours agoI’m a software engineer, but now I feel like I need to build a trebuchet.
minus-squaredave@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·19 hours agoI’m a software engineer and I built a trebuchet during lockdown to launch Easter eggs at the neighbours’ gardens since we weren’t allowed to go see them.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·19 hours agoThe plastic candy-filled kind…. I hope. Or. I hope they weren’t very good neighbors….
minus-squaredave@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·19 hours agoNo, tiny bits of hidden software. It’s not a very efficient way of distributing code, but it was fun.
minus-squarehelpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 hours agoRember kids, if you find a USB stick in your easter egg, run home and plug it in to get free candy in Roblox.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·19 hours agoYeah. You’re not allowed to stuff Easter eggs for Easter. Also, we’ll add “get the Halloween candy”, too. Probably give people apple 2’s or something,
minus-squareZoboomafoo@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 day agoI have a scar over my eye from a trebuchet I built in high school, then I went to college for engineering, so that checks out
minus-squarevaultdweller013@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 hours agoProbably better than the scar my cousin has on his thigh from an ad hoc fulcrum catapult.

minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 day agoyeah. Gotta be careful with them. even the desktop variety has a lot of energy in the system.
minus-squareJ'Pol @lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 day agoI’m a machinist, which is kind of engineer adjacent. We make cannons.
minus-squareBuglefingers@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 hours agoIn CNC as well, can confirm, cannons are made
minus-squarerockerface 🇺🇦@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·23 hours agoCannons are just trebuchets with extra oomph
