i used a scythe once at the family summer get-away cabin to cut the way too long grass while wearing a black skirt, a black top and a wide brimmed black hat.
Felt like I was a boss in Bloodborne for a minute there
Inappropriate laughter Oh silly me....I seem to have missed a spot... ....creepy giggles

The fact it resulted in the creation of both Dutch and English should have been a clue.
This is a way cooler thing to base a personality upon than Le Epic Beard or bideo bames. Critical support.
Start today! I started reading them after hearing about it on hexbear last year and read the whole thing!
Discworld is addictive, so make sure there aren't any other books you want to read for a while
What can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the Reaper Man?
100% the name is a nod to One Straw Revolution (1978) by Masanobu Fukuoka (1913-2008).
You've never seen a professional scything contest have you
What can the harvester hope for, if not the approval of The Reaper Man?
Scythes are underrated, in certain situations they are way faster and efficient than a string trimmer. Like when I see people maintenance mowing meadows with a string trimmer I feel so bad for them. But good luck clearing around garden beds with a scythe.
Having said that I would have never considered buying one if it weren't for cranks like these and they're completely harmless as far as those things go so 🤷

Retrofit the blade and you got a pole arm for combat.
"Welcome to Guys: A Podcast About Guys, and this week we're taking a look at Scythe Guys"
"I'm Bryan and I'm here with my co-host Chris, the string trimmer"
"Ok, yeah I guess I'd use one if I had a lawn? Is that bad?"
There's another guy (I think) who has consistently won speed mowing competitions using a scythe, and his channel is a joy to watch.
there's at least a third one, a swedish (i think) dude super into scything to restore meadows. mowing apparently wrecks the shit out of them.
I think that's the one! He's really into speed mowing and regular mowing.
I've also been lucky to meet some amazing folks who do the same but don't have a YouTube channel. They're just mountain people maintaining meadows through transhumance.
I love it,
I used to watch speed building of uh, "wire fences" I guess it's the translation

That is very niche, so much so I don't even know what the word for that kind of wire fence would be in Spanish.
Ah of course, we call it that in Colombia, too. Just that we use it to mean barbed wire.
Plus it can't be niche, how are y'all keeping your cows and sheep grazing in place?
Lol I meant the competitive aspect of it, not the alambrado itself.
EVERYTHING fucks up your back if you do it too much. Source: have a back
True, our spines weren't meant for upright bipedal use. Return to monke.
Then why it inserts itself in our craniums in that angle?
Sike there are no whys in biology, whatever it is, it's what sticked without killing off the species (yet), plus fucking randomness is the biggest evolutionary driver, etc etc
i mean yeah, it's manual labor. the flesh is temporary. i don't think lugging around a weed wacker is much better for you, and it's definitely better than a push mower.
