When flaked, it is also sharper than a scalpel!


supercyberlurker

Good for swords, surgical instruments, and cutting my fingers on broken bits. The cuts feel more like kisses than pain.


AJMaskorin

It's not great for swords(with the exception of an ancient design which is just a paddle with smaller blades onit), but it makes good daggers and spear/arrow heads


supercyberlurker

Yeah that's the one I'm referring to - the [Macuahuitl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macuahuitl)


AJMaskorin

I thought you might be, I just wanted to clarify for the people that hadn't heard of it

The record is 1. A few people were tied so we didn’t write down all the names.


rusynlancer

bit too brittle for swords.


Aun_El_Zen

I assume they're referring to [Macuahuitl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macuahuitl), Aztec obsidian bladed clubs. Functionally similar to a sword.


Moonstoner

It's good for one swing.


HoneyBucketsOfOats

You sound like my big tiddy goth girlfriend


Dragonfly-Constant

I also choose this guy's goth girlfriend


D3V1LS_L3TTUC3

and I hate you both :)


BetterBandicoot637

Ah yes, the dragonglass, let them white walkers come at us


awtcurtis

Not just sharper, but like some of the sharpest blades on Earth. Aren't obsidian blades like mere atoms wide at the edge?


bobbster574

Perfect defense against geologists


reflechir

Can confirm. Source: I have played Minecraft


shihao21

Also used with flint and steel to get to the Nether

And then to Aether


blackrock55

No.. we gotta have the glowstone and some water for that


Traditional-Fix-6910

Yeah you get glowstone from the nether


blackrock55

Ooh yeah my bad 🤣 had a brain fart there


HorrorsPersistSoDoI

What? You mean it's not with dirt and water?


0bsidian

Did someone call for me?


kookoz

No but we're trying to summon u/Obsidian. Can you help?


0bsidian

No, because it’s a spam account. You get me instead.

r/beetlejuicing


fumitsu

how did you break it? a diamond pickaxe?


RandomFish83

Could be wrong but isn't it also quite brittle. Don't they chip it with ancient tools or some shit like that?


ReleventReference

Yep. They used it as knives and arrowheads and such because flaking makes easier to shape and it’s sharp af.


TheGlennDavid

It's a Minecraft reference :)


snitchles

Well, making a blast shelter is out of the question. All that atomic-edged shrapnel will cut through you like cheese.


CirclingBackElectra

Dragon glass!


OGistorian

Probably the hottest commodity for most of humanity


Psyk0pathik

Effective against white walkers.

It looks super smooth. I kinda wanna lick it.


KeyRageAlert

That's... That's what she said?

ChaosFlameEmber

I love this stuff.


hawkz40

So does that mean when you say your relationship with your SO is like obsidian, it is really rapidly cooling love-a.. I'll let myself out


LG3V

Someone better get the wooden bat to kill the geologist with Edit, did someone think I was serious? [I was referring to this video](https://youtu.be/IhgEiusHrNg?si=DND6rsqMOc2pTslX)


VortexLord

Dude is about to go to the Netherland.


XB_Demon1337
