Why do scythes make such awful weapons?
I RESPONDED TO THIS ONCE BUT MY WHOLE POST GOT DELETED FOR SOME REASON SO I NEVER TOUCHED IT AGAIN
Here I am, like a year later, finally responding because I feel the need to rant anew about this.
Thankfully this is a very easy question to answer.
They simply were not made with that function in mind.
The function of a Scythe is cutting grasses and crops, the edge being positioned on the inside of the blade.
Let me paint a picture for you. You are wielding a farming scythe, and someone with intent to kill is coming at you. Your options? To use the tip to stab into them, or somehow manage to get the person on the inside of the scythe, essentially behind them like a hook.
Tell me, dear reader, how well that will work out for you.
Now this isn't to say that scythes have never been used as weapons, of course they have, they're fine in a pinch. But by no means are they efficient or effective, especially if you have other options available to you.
Yes, I understand they're cool and connected to the grim reaper and death and all that, but by no means does the reaper use it as a weapon. He's a reaper, he reaps souls like a farmer reaping crops. That's why he is depicted with a farming tool.
But, if you want the vague aesthetic of a Scythe with the actual ability to be used efficiently in a battle, I present to you my favorite bladed weapon, the aptly named War Scythe:
Throughout history it was essentially a modified farming scythe, but much better. A polearm infantry weapon used primarily for offensive action against infantrymen and defensively against cavalry.
I've only seen this in media once before, which is a damn shame because it's superior in both effectiveness and aesthetics if you ask me, and even worse it was in direct juncture with a farming scythe, but I'll silently cry about it to myself and shut up now lmfao.
I hope this answered your question, dear mutual. =∆

I would rather miss the first 3 periods of class before skipping out on a giant breakfast like this.

I'm scared of a chimpanzee because I know it will kill me. I'm scared of an orangutan because I know it will teach me things about myself I wasn't willing to confront

Shout out to the ten primate species, four bat species, elephant shrews, and the Cairo spiny mouse. Nobody else gets it

I’ll never forget the time I was sitting with this guy, nice kid, didn’t know him well, I think we must have had a bottle of wine or some questionable hashish or something, and in response to an awkward silence I just started talking and ended up going on a long meandering rant about how ugly American robins are. I’m talking a full monologue. I had an intro and conclusion. It was pointlessly vehement. I have never been so mean or loquacious about anything in my life.
Consider my horror when this perfectly nice guy wordlessly lifted his shirt to reveal a full-torso prismacolor tattoo of his spiritual soul animal, the American robin.
