As a machinist a lathe is the first thing that comes to mind, you get some clothing or even a rope caught in the wrong place and it'll eat you alive

There’s a kid I work with that is going to end up stabbing me with a pencil. He’s gotten pretty close a few times.

The lab closet when I was teaching science might have worked. The stuff you let kids work with is as close to water as you can make it, but the stuff for demos could easily take out a Jason or a Freddy.

Probably busbar running at 6 to 10,000 amps. DC power.

I would print out the code and Rube Goldbergian series of database triggers that run some of our internal apps; to the untrained mind, it would probably have an effect similar to looking into Medusa's eyes.

I work from home...

Best I got is an old fashioned paper cutter that looked way too heavy duty.

Cue the scene from The Faculty where the bad boy twists off the blade of that thing.

I could mistranslate an MRI manual and they could fry themselves to death?

How many painkillers does it take to kill someone? I reckon we have enough for that at work

School supplies can be pretty dangerous when used incorrectly. :3

One of those paper cutters with the blade arm would be a good go to

The contents of the fridge

100' fall into the middle of an arena.

I work as a concert high rigger.

Probably all the knives and the room full of people who spend 8 hours a day cutting things to bits with them. After a while, you get pretty good at finding where to cut through joints, so it doesn't take all that long.

Really big laser - meant for cutting through thick steel, could probably slice most monsters Bond-villain style.

A germy child that sneezes on its face. Teaching is a constant state of protecting yourself from biological warfare.

Outright? Probably not a much, but I could definitely yank some wires or disable some safeties that would do the job with a little encouragement.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I work in a hospital so: scalpels, oxygen bottles/ wall supply explosions (hard to do without disabling the safety's which I don't know how to do), plenty of radiation sources in the building, loads of dangerous drugs from sedatives to painkillers to chemotherapy. If I'm lucky the monster might just die of MRSA or pneumonia before they get to me.
