Is this “thnickels” website some kind of joke?
Instead of “thick nickels” for self-defense, I think he might have gotten better results with a sock full of pennies. It would have to be a really thick and sturdy sock to make an effective DIY blackjack, though, or it will only be good for striking one or two blows. Better yet, just get a damn crowbar if you need to bust a burglar’s head, or even a shotgun.
Or, you know, just get renters’ or homeowners’ insurance and file a claim if some asshole steals your stuff? Especially if the law where you live frowns on the use of violence against intruders?
Maybe I’m just being cynical, but this looks like something Florida Man would do.
I have no idea if it’s serious or not, but either way I find it hilarious! Sadly, it looks like they are now sold out. The company he partnered with does seem to specialize in joke products, so I think it may be a little tongue-in-cheek.
I’m pretty sure this is a joke, if anyone’s concerned. I especially like that the supposed maker of these is “Theodore Nichols”

I would stim with these by dropping one into my palm or repeatedly stacking them. Looks like a pleasant amount of heft.
Oh rofl it’s Legboot! He’s the guy who made the “Bugkiss” kit a couple years ago (that I’m still sad I didn’t get). He does parody stuff and sometimes actually produces the stuff for sale.
Ngl I kinda want thnickels myself. XD
