“We don’t go to Ravenholm any more”.

Can you imagine the "oh shit" feeling of using the saw and seeing the blade take off across the street?

Just spin jump on the ~~saw blade~~ grinder. No problem.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


It wasn’t his time.

In a scene out of horror movie, a man narrowly escaped a saw blade as it came barreling toward him outside a store in Oregon.

Video of the incident shows the man entering the store mere seconds before a large saw blade rolls quickly in his direction from across the parking lot.

The man was safely inside the store with the door closed behind him before the blade latched itself into the building’s facade.

“That just stuck in your wall,” the man is heard saying to the shop owner following the incident.

The shop owner and a customer could be seen walking over to the entrance after the saw blade made impact.


The original article contains 116 words, the summary contains 116 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

First time I’ve seen it save 0% but now I’m hoping I’ll see it someday somehow make a longer article than the original

Oh, all sorts of groups are making much of nothing already. Hell, that's the other side of the "journalistic integrity" coin. It's quite simple to let LLMs expound ad nauseum. 😅

I thought a saw blade would slice through the air more than it would barrel.

[–] maculata@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I love that little quiver of the sawblade at the end. Mmmmwhaah! (Chef’s kiss)

And now he knows why Giga Disc Projectile is not a good idea.
