Local student arrested for ‘manufacturing weapons.’ In reality, he printed some PLA shivs that would probably shatter if they hit a piece of parmesan cheese. The police seized the printer like it was a meth lab. 10/10 for the dramatic crime scene photo, though.

(Backstory: a few weeks ago a student in another city/school was stabbed with a (iron) knife and died so now politicians need to show that zero tolerance policies are successful.)

    he printed some PLA shivs that would probably shatter if they hit a piece of parmesan cheese.

    How big of a piece of parmesan are we talking? Ever tried to cut into a wheel of cold parmesan? It’s pretty tough. Meatbags are a lot less tough.

    That being said, we learned how to make knives by smashing a couple of rocks together like a thousand years ago, this ain’t stopping nobody.
