Ooh… very good point! And the caloric value would depend on the quality of the sword’s overall craftsmanship. It is more likely that a fine swordsman for the king and his retainers would use a quality leather that would be well-oiled and certainly more supple, which would mean there is a direct correlation between the quality of the sword and its caloric value.

Well, I mean, that was kind of my point, I guess. Steel is clearly not digestible, but as the other commenter indicated, the leather on the hilts would be… sorta. And if we are talking logic here, is that a giant’s stomach, or are those tiny swords? Aren’t there other names for tiny swords? Like, dagger?

The more I look at this image, the more I’m just shaking my damn head.

You have to make sure you get the whole-grain existential horror: that refined horror stuff they are selling to kids these days is just empty calories.

Yeah, I mean, considering that those really look more like dirks or something, if it was real swords with leather-covered handles, my instinct is that #1: 400 calories would be more than one sword and #2: you would be dead before you could expend those calories. Did your research confirm that? I may need to take that research ride too.

I don’t feel like the swords picture is accurate… that looks like way more than 400 calories worth of swords…

Excellent. So far I think I’ve got it… I can see the reports and modlog for the community. I will do my best!

Hey there, I am willing to help, but I’ve never been a mod. I’m a pretty quick learner, but I would need some guidance in the beginning at least. I’m using Tesseract.

It’s a daily struggle with my tuxedo edition as well! He simply does not understand, no matter how wise he gets. Sometimes he will shut up for a bit if I pet him.

Yeah! I love that!!

What an adorable little gremlin! I love his style!

There is deep wisdom in those eyes… and it tells him there is not enough food in his bowl!

Thank you for this link!

Nice. That’s definitely a life goal for me!

Good Eats is so awesome. These are some great suggestions. Now I need some root veggies - I just wish I had the time to do all the cool nerdy shit Alton does. I want to heat sand and store things in it, but damned if I’ve got the time for that.

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts. I have been trying to do much of the same as far as mindfulness and not forcing things. Listening to myself and the universe. Unfortunately, this will probably get deleted because this is not the appropriate community. I’m not really sure what community would be best, but I hope I find that community somewhere on Lemmy! @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com, do you have any ideas what would be an appropriate community?
