    1. @mastertdi Is it true that ceiling fans are capable of chopping head off clean?

      1. @beatstrings We may or may not find out shortly.

      2. @beatstrings if they're sharp enough and moving quick enough, I don't see why not. I doubt it'd be a clean cut but it'd be gone.

        2. @thewaifutyphoon Yeah, I'm always doubting our gym ceiling fans. As a precaution the school administrator ordered to remove the number 3 power button in the control room.

          1. @beatstrings honestly regular ceiling fans wouldn't behead a person unless they were moving at an absurd speed. The ceiling fans I was talking about that /could/ possibly do that were ones like the one in our house, that are more industrial. They're just 3 long metal blades that aren't really smoothed. Otherwise the ones that usually are used would just break someone's neck

            1. @thewaifutyphoon Still can be lethal, and messy if it hits its Jugular.

              1. @beatstrings Well, yeah. I just meant that it wouldn't become an impromptu guillotine

                1. @thewaifutyphoon God I got to stop watching medieval history for a while. I'm thinking of execution on appliances.

                  1. @beatstrings I've thought about it quite a bit.

      3. @beatstrings No, ceiling fans tend to be pretty harmless. Far harmless than a regular fan at least.

        1. @nerthos Yeah, but can it? Like do sizes differ the chances of its safety?

          1. @beatstrings Not really. Industrial ceiling fans, the kind that go in a hole in the wall/roof and are covered with grills, culd potentially cause lethal damage, but even those (which are FAR stronger than domestic ones) can't chop off a head, unless fitted with actual blades, but that's stupid and unrealistic.

            1. @nerthos True, even the jackass crew wouldn't think of that.
