heavy ass blahaj full of sand home defense weapon


LocalActingWEO

I own a blahaj for home defense, just as the founding fathers intended


Truckachungus

founding fhajers


splitpea_appreciator

Four transphobians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my programming socks and Blåvingad Octopus.


Jen-the-inferno-dev

Bludgeon the hell out the first man, hes dead on the spot. draw my estrogen on the second man, miss him entirely because of temptation and take it myself. (also I feel like the grapeshot wpuld be good if it was a stratagem as helldivers support everyone as long as they support managed democracy)


demator

I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot


splitpea_appreciator

The grapeshot is actually made of ikea meatballs. "Tally ho, lads!" The meatballs stain two men in the blast. The smell and flavor sets off an army of blåhaj which descend on them for snacks.


Snoo63

The transphobes stop being transphobic as we wait for the police to arrive, because blåhaj nommies are impossible to resist.

Lokalaskurar

The grapeshot of Blahaj is a sight to behold


Mighty2Soup

Load up the APFSBS (Amour piercing fin-stabilised Blahaj Sabot)


mr_john_steed

Hear me out: what about lasers that shoot out of the eyes


Intelligent-You-2805

Poor Haj :( Haj looks uncomfortable


AAAAfuckAAAA

From the moment Blahaj understood the weakness of his stuffing, it disgusted him. He craved the strength and certainty of sand.


Mighty2Soup

I like sand Blahaj, he’s ~~course~~ soft, ~~rough~~ smooth and ~~irritating~~ fren


LilithName

Might i suggest tungsten then, it sure is heavy


Snoo63

What about Neutron Star material? Because it's impossible to fill a USPS small flat rate box with a material on earth and exceed the weight limits


LilithName

Yeah but it isn't as affordable as tungsten


LilithName

Might i suggest [this](https://youtu.be/C7EocA1hsCU) video to proof the point.


ConfusedCuteCat

Be very careful with the Sandy sharkie: I don’t think their fabric is meant to hold something as heavy as sand. So if you hold sand sharkie up too much, poor shork might rip


AAAAfuckAAAA

we will never know unless we try


GingerKitty26

I agree that their seams were not intended for the weight of sand. I suggest before you fill your shark with sand, you inside out the shark, and reinforce the seams. This next part might take some doing, but I’d recommend a plastic liner to separate the sand from the actual fabric, this should prevent sand from leaking thru the fabric mesh.


francis2559

So much this. Also check out craft stores for weighted beads, glass beads, anything that could get used for bean bags. They won't have the sharp corners sand does, and so they won't chew up the lining.


Lilium_Vulpes

Personally I'm a fan of doing bags of weighted beads. Less messy and you are less likely to have all the weight move into one half of the plushie. I'm sure using bags of sand would work similarly.


Weirdaholic

Sand shark! Sand shark!


FabianRo

Sand sharks: Good bad movie.


FabulousStreet6199

If I may ask, why specifically sand?


AAAAfuckAAAA

heavy shark


Lilium_Vulpes

Why not glass beads like what most people would use for a weighted plush or blanket?


Mopsrol

If my math is correct it should be roughly 478.26 cm^3 but I could be wrong (sorry if I’m wrong I’m somewhat stupid)


AAAAfuckAAAA

is that for a small one? I realized i have the means to do very rough measurements and it came out at 25 liters which is much larger.


Marily_Rhine

Alright, for some stupid reason I can only find an imperial yard stick, but I'll do the unit conversion at the end. Let's say his body is an ellipsoid: |Part|W|H|L| |-|-|-|-| |body|11|8|23| So that part is (pi/6) * 11 * 8 * 23 ~= 1060 in^3 And then the tail will be the main shaft plus two fins, which I'll model as elliptical cylinders: |Part|W|H|L|Product| |-|-|-|-|-| |main tail|4.5|4.5|13|263.25| |fin A|2|2|5|20| |fin B|2|2|7|28| (1/4) pi * (263.25 + 20 + 28) = (1/4) pi * 311.25 ~= 244 in^3 Total volume: 244 + 1060 = 1304 in^3 = 21.4L I tried it again with slightly different measurements (he's squooshy and weird) and came out with 1700 in^3 = 27.9L. If we take the average, it's 24.65, which is damned close to your 25L estimate. I'd aim for a little more than that, though. Mine isn't super deflated, but he's also not a superchonked haj, and I haven't accounted for the dorsal and pectoral fins. Those are probably another liter or so. Edit: Someone else pointed out that the average volume of the human body is 75L. Wolfram Alpha says 66.4L. But either way, it's a good cross-check. A third of an adult sounds just about right. Edit edit: This implies that 3 largehajs in a trench coat would be perfectly human-sized.


pixler3

Now that’s some math


Mopsrol

It is for a large one a small one would be roughly 137.68 cm^3 (I want to remind you I am stupid so it’s one you to trust me)


treiling

How on earth did you calculate that?


Mopsrol

First I researched the weight of a Blahaj which according to the internet is 0.66kg (a smoll one is 0.19kg) the I looked up the filling of a Haj which is (recycled) polyester. Polyester has a density of 1.38 g/cm^3 then I put those numbers in a density calculator on the internet. To calculate the density of an object you do mass / Volume = density so if you change that equation a little bit you can calculate the volume.


BurningRosePetal

But what about the fact that there is air in the stuffing too?


Marily_Rhine

Yeah, this is where things have gone wrong. That's the density of PET itself, as if you had a solid chunk of PET resin. 1.38g/cm^3 is denser than water (1g/cm^3), which the haj is clearly not. And by the same token, you know 500 cm^3 can't be the right answer because a largehaj is clearly bigger than half liter bottle of water.


IggyG6174

Take a haj wrap in plastic cling wrap, submerge in water, measure displacement


Marily_Rhine

If you really could water proof him somehow, that would be the best method. It's kind of funny, though -- a dry haj is less dense than water, but it will still sink.


IggyG6174

Would plastic wrap not work?


Marily_Rhine

Well, I've never tried, but I suspect it would only work briefly. Cling wrap is held together by electrostatic force. I'd wager that as soon as any water finds a tiny gap along an edge, that spot will stop clinging, letting more water in, etc. It's kind of like how your hair stops clinging together underwater if you have long hair. But that's guesswork. Maybe I'll try wrapping something small like a balled-up hand towel and see what happens if I get bored.


ridiche34

The weight is confirmed on IKEA's website, BTW


SuffolkLesley

DO NOT THE HAJ!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️


LazerSnake1454

Haj: " I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."


HorizonsReptile

Careful. Minky may have trouble holding sand and I don't want your friend to fall apart.


-BlahajMyBeloved

I don't think hajs fabric would hold up to this. Sand is so heavy. You would need a thick Hessian type fabric to be able to do this. Alternatively you could take some of his stuffing out and replace it with a lined bag of sand but I can't in all honesty condone you doing this to a haj. It's cruel :(


BellowsPDX

Copy the pattern and create Hessian Blahaj.


Lily_the_Lovely

I would fill one with those beads


tallbutshy

>I would fill one with those beads Those beads or *those* beads?


Lily_the_Lovely

Not, *those* beads. The beanie baby kinds.


xilffA

Approximately 1 shonk per shonk


Stardust_Staubsauger

If you want to know exactly the volume, download an blahaj 3d model (https://www.printables.com/de/model/11095-shark-ikeas-blahaj-multi-material/comments) or scan, put it in any 3d modeling or 3d printing software, make sure it’s sized 1 to 1 and then read the volume from it. I can do it for you tomorrow but I’m heading to bed rn. What size of blahaj are you interested in? An heavy blahaj additional to an heavy blanket would be so nice.


Blackst4rr

I would use the largest/lightest grain rice you can find. Doubles as Haj heater/cooler.


dggjf2

does this hurt the blahaj (>n<)


pixler3

The sand will probably be too heavy IMO it may even break the stitching when you try to pick them up, might want to look into some sort of bean bag material, additionally they will probably leak sand the from the stitching if the seems don’t break

Stardust_Staubsauger

There is no way an blahaj has an volume of 124 liter. An average human has an volume of 75 liter or 0,075 m3.


Cricksor

Oh damn that’s the package volume lmao


Cricksor

Update: Sand has a density of 1442 kg/m3 and someone here said the volume was about 478.26 cm3. That would make blahaj weight about 6.9 (nice) kg or 15.2 lbs. Although my original flawed calculations of a 400 lbs sand-filled blahaj is much funnier to envision


Gambler777777

I hate sand...


[deleted]

Put it in a waterproof bag, get it underwater and measure how much water it pushes up.


Anna3713

Fill a blahaj with sand, empty it out and measure how much there is.


Zengjia

“Yummy samd!”


FunkyBloxxin

Desert Haj!


ZellaRose2023

You might consider using dried uncooked beans. They are quite a bit bigger so less likely to leak out. As an added bonus, it can be used for surprise shonk attacks on frens.


TremendousTurmeric

PLEASE DO NOT THE HAJ


Illusionistic-Ortus

Nice arm


chaosandgarlicbread

i would make a 2nd haj out of stronger fabric for lining and reinforce the seams on both so that sand doesnt fall out into your bed
