You're better off putting them in a barrel and filling it with cement. If you just tie them down bits will eventually come free of the bindings as they rot and bottom feeders eat them.

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, just stuff them in a bag or something and weigh down the bag.

Does this mean that MZ is secretly some sort of giant midget?

Well, why else would you have a dwarf make a coffin out of lead?

[Frumple]

Same reason you make all the food and drink barrels out of lead. What else are you going to do with the stuff?

Wasn't it a thing that if you made objects out of really heavy materials it lessened the amount they were scattered when you reclaimed a site?

Warhammers. They're really heavy, so they do more damage, right?

Wire mesh. You can weight it down easily enough, and it still lets the underwater critters in to speed disposal. Best of both worlds. Y'know. Theoretically.  <_<  >_>



Re Tumblr: Those are some pretty exasperating posts, but you gotta keep in mind that a significant part of it is backlash against a pop culture that tells you anything bigger than this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

...is undesirably overweight. Which is just as stupid and dangerous to your health. A happy medium exists somewhere, but there will always be people who take it too far in the other direction as well. Given the choice, I'd much rather get mad at the institutionalized side that is doing massive damage than a few tumblr posts.

Mod it so that you can make hammers out of it.

[Gunner-Chan]

Mod it so you can make bullets and shoot shit?

Thing is though, I'm reasonably certain that culture doesn't actually exist apart from in the imaginations of various executives and marketing departments.

No.

Nah, it's there. The health and beauty industry runs on it. Entertainment industry too, to an extent. Hell, marketing in general. Unrealistic standards are almost omnipresent these days: any given advertising model will be photoshopped to oblivion and back, any given actor thickly makeupped and carefully framed. It's not necessary that people believe any given image completely, or even take it very seriously, so long as they're completely deluged with it. Those images start to become normal, and willingly or no, some part of that is internalized. Uncertainty, doubt & co. start to wiggle in through the cracks, and the companies that propagate said image for advertising purposes descend to feed.

I'm rather proud of them, honestly - it's something I'd think up myself as an evil plan, but they're just doing it to get money!
From a point of view that doesn't admire the plan in itself it's probably rather horrible.
