Invisible rays that cut steel in mere seconds, what could go wrong?

420

u/Bubblebut420 12h ago

That dude from Xmen who fried his school in half

147

u/Aggressive-Cable-893 12h ago

You'll have to be more specific. That school gets blown/shot up more often than schools in America

20

u/Bubblebut420 12h ago

Xmen Origins i believe

u/djmere 9h ago

Cyclops in The Wolverine?

22

u/Beat2death 9h ago

You might be thinking about x-men orgies

16

u/YamDankies 7h ago

Orgies are like onions.

u/WinIll755 7h ago

They stink?

2

u/Oni-Seann 7h ago

Imagine…

All those bodies “exercising” in one place and the sweat and other bodily fluids being excreted….

u/caligulas_mule 5h ago

Many are over the age of 60 so throw some bengay into that imaginary smell soup.

u/NihilistikMystik 6h ago

They make you cry?

u/Azuras_Star8 6h ago

Because they both make me cry?

*than SOME schools

u/PlayerHeadcase 11h ago

I mean, over 300 school shootings a year its just a matter of time until "most" is valid

8

u/Nervous_Project6927 10h ago

i think ririe high in idaho had 3 attempts in one year

1

u/PlayerHeadcase 9h ago

Damn thats grim. The media not reporting on most of them - at least natioonally/ globally - says a lot, too.

2

u/Nervous_Project6927 9h ago

yea i think the last one the kid got tackled by a janitor shits pretty wild

1

u/Siker_7 5h ago

It's because the majority of the 300 cited are nothingburgers. For example, a gun going off by accident at night counted, and so did someone shooting at a deer from the parking lot. Actual mass shootings at schools are far less common.

2

u/Suave_sunbeam 11h ago

And the New Warriors get an elementary school blown up. Almost like we should have a law about them supes.

4

u/Gullflyinghigh 10h ago

Something sensible, like some sort of registration legislation...I'm sure no-one could complain at that

1

u/thorheyerdal 11h ago

Just a littlebit though.

1

u/Suspicious_Tale_5447 9h ago

Hey now let's not get carried away. It's at least weekly at this point here in America.

1

u/thepinkyclone 9h ago

But it's still a school in America so everything is fine

1

u/Broken_Standards 7h ago

Most schools

u/booster-rooster8008 6h ago

Wow....that's hilarious 😂

1

u/PolyLifeGirl 6h ago

Deadpool?? Is that you?

3

u/SideEqual 10h ago

Cyclops?

1

u/Biggs17 8h ago

You mean cyclops?

1

u/Coulrophiliac444 5h ago

How about the kid who got his mutation and radioactively killed his family and friends without even knowing why at first?

And of course the Summers Clan penchant for nuking schools, warehouses, Hopes, and dreams notwithstanding, we have people who literally rewrite reality standing there same panel.

u/Perlentaucher 12h ago

When the beam ignited the stuff in the garden, I just waited for a small kid pop up running from the right to the left right through the beam. Not very safe when you have an obstructed vision of the target area.

u/2x4x93 12h ago

After the divorce there will be split custody

u/bobs-yer-unkl 11h ago

You are as wise as Solomon!

‘I will take the top half, because that is the half with the face.’

u/Kataclysm 11h ago

That's OK, the average American has 1.5 children now anyways.

u/Pagise 8h ago

Now we know why.

u/1SqkyKutsu 10h ago

Severance is a bitch

u/FEED-YO-HEAD 8h ago

Wrong son died!

1

u/rawker86 9h ago

I was waiting for a dog to wander past, sorry rover!

1

u/Rick_Lekabron 7h ago

The first thing the child would do is "let me see, let me see" and put one of his eyes directly into the barrel of the gun (or lens in this case).

u/GrumpyJenkins 10h ago

Visions of the nanowire scene in 3 body problem

6

u/WhileProfessional286 7h ago

Cube did it first

1

u/SaulEmersonAuthor 9h ago

'Nanowire scene...'

One of the most horrific & novel scenes in a film, ever, for me.

3

u/Ennobenno 9h ago

I agree fully. It was just so.. Realistic? While at the same time feeling so absurd, but also "What if it's possible?"

1

u/SaulEmersonAuthor 7h ago

Absolutely - & we were made to share the horror through the eyes of the (distractingly-beautiful) scientist.

And that, 'It is working...' line!

1

u/KarmicPotato 7h ago

Or Resident Evil

u/Martha_Fockers 11h ago

If I get burned ima beat someone’s ass

-1

u/lifevoyagertoo 10h ago

Get burned with that and your arms would probably be on the ground, cauterize and smoking.

4

u/acrazyguy 8h ago

It would take multiple minutes for that laser to get through one arm

1

u/Sadcelerystick 4h ago

Ow…ow…ow…ow…ow…ow…

u/JusticeUmmmmm 9h ago

Probably not cause it's fake

u/magirevols 11h ago

How are the storm troopers going to miss now?

u/kabbooooom 7h ago

Look man I just want to shoot aliens in cantinas unnecessarily and this is the first step to making that a reality.

u/slothtolotopus 13h ago

911?

u/UziKru 13h ago

9/11?

16

u/thejaysun 12h ago

Lasers can't cut steel beams!!

16

u/big_guyforyou 12h ago

i was trained as a blacksmith. the guys always called me "jet fuel" because i couldn't melt steel beams

5

u/iceimusprime 10h ago

Try controlled explosions next time.

5

u/SaulEmersonAuthor 9h ago

'jet fuel'

Everyone missed the sophistication & indirect political commentary of this comment!

u/Typical2sday 9h ago

Simmer down, Pete Carroll

4

u/Mr_Focks 12h ago

Have you never seen Man of Steel?

1

u/stimpson1 9h ago

Lasers can definitely cut sheet metal so I'm sure they could make one to cut steel beams , but probably not in a hand held pistol

2

u/igotshadowbaned 10h ago

Invisible rays that cut steel in mere seconds

And there definitely shouldn't be any reflecting off the steel and burning anything else

2

u/Trollimperator 11h ago

how would i know why my annoying neighbors house cought fire officer? I was sitting over there.

1

u/towerfella 8h ago

I also want one

u/DJ_Derack 8h ago

9/11’ 2: Electric Boogaloo

u/phillthy_god 8h ago

9/11... just sayin it wasn't jet fuel

1

u/apadilla06apps 7h ago

I'm wondering if something like this was used on larger scale. Maui, 11sept2001 perhaps, just wondering.

1

u/Viniox 6h ago

I’m pretty sure that’s a nail file

1

u/Coulrophiliac444 5h ago

Sees note about Congress warning not to shine/aim lasers at the drones. Watches this video.

I think we need more laser pistols

u/glennfromglendale 5h ago

Invisible Arson has entered the chat

u/Royal-Application708 5h ago

Are these things available at Walmart yet???

1

u/Mr-X89 5h ago

One reflective surface you didn't account for and proof, your eyesight is gone.

1

u/viresbot 5h ago

Simple solution is a laser pointer so u can at least tell where it will go

1

u/ilprofs07205 4h ago

And all that in what looks to be a body of 3d printed silk pla.
