This reminds me of the time the police got called to an office building because someone saw a man with a rifle in one of the windows. Turns out it was a gaming studio, and the man was a human-size cardboard cutout advertising Battlefield or some similar first person shooter.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 56 points 2 weeks ago

I remember that, it was the office of Infinity Ward, the Modern Warfare devs.

Was it Terry Pratchett or Douglas Addams that had a witch that was going to be burned at the stake? She had a little future-sight abd went to her death willingly and with dignity. And with 50pounds of roofing nails in a barrel of gunpowder under her dress.

Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

You mean just Terry Pratchett, right? 😢

[–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

unfortunately Neil Gaiman is still alive and benefits directly from things like purchases, so no. You cannot mikufy an author who benefits.

[–] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I'm OOTL on this, did Gaiman do something?

[–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

from wikipedia:

Claire described non-consensual kissing and groping by Gaiman after meeting him at a book tour event, as well as a $60,000 payment from Gaiman to her in August 2022.[176] A woman identified as "K", who also first met Gaiman at a book signing, said that during their relationship he subjected her to painful sex that she "neither wanted nor enjoyed".[21][177]

Scarlett Pavlovich, a former nanny for Gaiman and Palmer's child, alleges that Gaiman sexually assaulted her within hours of their first meeting in February 2022.[177] Pavlovich recalled that he said, "Amanda told me I couldn't have you" after the assault; according to one of Palmer's friends, Palmer had previously told Gaiman, "You could really hurt this person and break her; keep your hands off of her". Pavlovich said that Gaiman had anal sex with her in the presence of his son.[21]

Caroline Wallner, a former tenant of Gaiman's, alleges that he demanded sexual favours in exchange for being allowed to continue living on his property.[21][178] Wallner says that on one occasion, Gaiman grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis while his young son was asleep in the same bed.[21] In 2021, Wallner, her ex-husband, and Gaiman signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and Gaiman paid Wallner $275,000. In early 2025, Gaiman and Wallner both requested arbitration, the dispute resolution method mandated by the NDA, each accusing the other of violating the agreement.[179]

The writer Julia Hobsbawm accused Gaiman of "an aggressive, unwanted pass" and described how Gaiman pushed her onto a sofa and French kissed her in 1986.[178][180]

and something that made it really fucking obvious, if it wasn't already:

In a blog post responding to coverage of the allegations against him, Gaiman said there were "moments I half-recognise and moments I don't".

he doesn't even fucking try to deny it

E: something else that pisses me off is this part:

Gaiman has denied engaging in non-consensual sex, and dismissed Hobsbawm's allegations as misreading the situation.[178][180]

If she says he sexually assaulted her and he says she fucking misread the situation, then he sexually assaulted her. are you fucking kidding me. the most good-faith interpretation is that he misread the situation an assaulted her without intending to do so, but given the track-record and the fact that he says that she misread the situation instead of being horrified at himself, I am willing to extend absolutely no good faith.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

Mostly yes, but we should not step this low. From the original source linked in Wikipedia:

His position is that it was no more than a young man misreading a situation,

So the bad wording is wikipedias fault

[–] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, what a peice of shit human. I'm glad I've not gotten into any of his work so I can just simply avoid.

Thank you for providing all this information and sources.

Pratchett. Agnes nutter in good omens

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Become the claymore you wish to see in the world.

[–] Flauschige_Lemmata@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. That's Good Omens

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago

Definitely TP. I remember reading this, and the setting was not on an oddly numerous inhabitable planets.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Good Omens is the name of the book.

Agnes Nutter had concealed forty pounds of roofing nails and eighty pounds of gunpowder in her petticoat.

Which makes me wonder how much of a hulking beast she must have been to carry that.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago

Boris will not drop the gun, but he will drop the building structure.

[–] grimWar@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

If someone shoots Boris, the owner will have a lot more to worry about than home invaders

164lbs of Tannerite Kills a Barn

How big is that foyer? Is the wall behind Boris a steel wall per chance ?

If I had a Boris, I'd be dead before they got a chance to shoot Boris. At which point Boris will have done his job.

I see there is Gender Reveal Tannerite, which would dye the perps a chosen color.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago

Would probably die them too

Mix them and get a nice purple!

I hope Boris has a very substantial steel plate behind his back.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I also hope he has some servos to move his arms with motion detectors.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Gotta protect whoever's behind him with high speed steel plate to the face

Unfortunately I think this is still illegal 😔

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago

They can't put you in jail if you're fucking dead cuz you blew up your house.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Any sort of trap is illegal, for good reason.

Although tannerite is stable unless you shoot it with a round going over 2000ft/s

I'm worried Boris won't go off. He's most likely to be shot with a handgun which won't set off the tannerite.

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can also put the explosif in a steel trapezoid with the wide part open towards the front. Basically a claymore, but you'd have to manually set it off.

Same energy as "claymore in the snow room aimed at the outside door". It can only do one thing and it will statistically do it to the person spending the most time around it, not any imagined opposition.

[–] halfsalesman@piefed.social 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

If I am not mistaken, you have to shoot tannerite to cause it to go off. So unless the owner in this case is shooting guns in their house it seems pretty likely this wont go off or harm them, but will harm someone who chooses to shoot an armed civilian for not putting their gun down.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That's the joke.jpg

ICE is shooting unarmed civilians, so seeing Boris here would make their nuts shrivel like a booger on an Arizona Tarmac in the middle of summer, and the only way for them to regain their illusion of masculinity will be to shoot him, too.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Pistols, that ICE has been using to murder innocent civilians, won't set off tannerite. You need high velocity rifle rounds, typically .223 Rem and up.

While tannerite does need that extreme concussion to go off, it is still more likely to hurt the person who set it up as this seems like a stand off tactic.

Unless you have to enter the house to see Boris. They are gonna shoot from a distance.

Keep one in the car so you can use the HOV lane.

175 lbs of Tannerite. Boris, the house and some part of the neighborhood will attempt a space voyage, if Boris gets shot.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

Be Boris, Friend.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I would be concerned about Boris wrecking a perfectly good foyer. Maybe put at the end of your street, leaning on a tree, just make sure the neighbors know what he is, but not who put him there.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think we all need several of these strategically placed around our houses these days
