Afterwards providing a few comments about why the Whipit brand hand grenades are easily defeated. But never quite telling you which brand of hand grenade he would recommend (Grenadables, obvs)
But probably the bike too. This is really the most fun for people who want neither a bike nor a grenade, and also don't want OTHER people to have either of those things. I can't remember which logical operation that is, NAND?
I don't understand... If you get the lock off of the bike, then you get the lock off the grenade pin, no? What am I missing? Or is the idea that they don't notice this whole thing and try to ride off and that automatically primes and drops the grenade? Then you still don't have a bike. I don't get it. :/
Depends, usual lethal radius between 5-25m, some shrapnel might be lethal beyond that. If you start driving slowly and accelerate moderately you might geht caught by some shrapnel.
Anyways, the thief would definitely notice the explosion. You would notice several blocks away.
This is on the disc brake, so the grenade would drop as soon as you ride away since it would not fit between the frame and the wheel, dropping the pin and exploding the grenade probably before they have a chance to run.

Doesn't work, you can shim that thing right off and get a free grenade!

But the thief is lockpicking lawyer, might actually defuse the grenade as well.

If my knowledge about grenades from videogames is correct, you can just put a pin back in, if you kept the handle closed since pulling the pin.

Haven't heard that name in a while. He used to help people with their homework on reddit, it'd be cool if he came over here.

The grenade ring is just like a key ring. Hold spoon, pull pin, twist ring off the lock, re-pin grenade, walk away with your new grenade, and enjoy.

That's a lot of trust on my butter fingers while trying to manipulate tools with my other hand...

The weak-willed see a deterrent, while the enterprising see a guaranteed way to get rid of the lock.

I'm with you...
Cut the lock shackle, remove lock from brake and ring... Nothing happens??
Or if you're paranoid, cut the grenade ring first, then cut the lock.

Cap your valve stem!

Is this what the kids mean by "no cap"?

Great way to get your bike stolen by cops.

Just hold the spoon down and put the pin back in after?
IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 310d
Just wrap tape around it to hold the spoon in place, pull the pin, leave the taped grenade, and take the bike.
crank0271@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 310d
And pass up the free grenade??
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 310d
Yeah, screw the bike, I want the grenade!
bizarroland@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 310d
Bike's worth a few hundred dollars tops at a pawn shop, whereas a grenade can get you a hundred thousand dollars out of the nearest bank.
spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 310d
And if you don't throw it, a few other banks as well.

Hello, this is the Lockpicking Lawyer, and today we're going to get spicy
realitista@lemmus.org · 6 pts · 309d
Does it work though...? I don't see any way that the pin for the grenade comes out when you cut the lock. Am I missing something?
kdcd@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 310d
Just throw it
Bonus@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 309d
When the thief cuts the lock, the falling grenade might stub their toe.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 309d
I'm pretty sure this is illegal.
notarobot@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 310d
If the lock passes inside the frame, then the thieve would just keep riding and leave behind a ticking granade. Possibly without even knowing
Lupus@feddit.org · 12 pts · 310d
Not for long though. I give it about 3-5 seconds until the thief would notice. Probably the last thing they will ever notice.
notarobot@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 310d
I don't know the range of a grenade, but I imagine when one steals a bike, they run away. Maybe they can be out of range in 5 seconds

notarobot@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 310d
They would hear the explosion but not think "wow. There was a grenade attached to the bike"
Anyway. I forgot bikes have breaks, so the lock would not pass that and the grenade would not self arm

Frame? Has to pass through the caliper, which it won't.
notarobot@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 310d
Oh. Right. The breaks. I forgot. Nvm
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 310d
Perhaps, but it might be illegal
