Who made the biggest sword ever?

"Biggest" can mean a few things:

The heaviest sword of all time is the 468lb "Le Glaive Chungeuse" of King Louis LXIX, so heavy nobody could wield it.

The longest sword ever made was the Gobai-nodachi, or "quintuple length longsword" forged by Masayoshi Johnson for a ceremony said to have resulted in the deaths of everyone present.

The thickest sword, three feet thick but only six inches long, was the Hungarian Chodesaber, which was used mostly for flattening dough.

The widest sword is currently the Grand Coronation Stub of King Charles, ruler of England as of March 2024. Shaped like a shallow isosceles triangle, its tip is almost 165 degrees.

The most expensive sword ever forged was the Diamond Sprinklesword of Muffy von Fitzwiggle-Plumnugget, which a rich Californian gave to his chihuahua for its third birthday. It could have paid to feed 30 billion people for five lifetimes.

The "biggest" sword in terms of fame and notoriety is the Sword of Damocles, which metaphorically hangs over the head of those with power as a reminder to be responsible lest they grow greedy or despotic. It has not been seen since around November of 2016.

Though not "big" per se, the sharpest sword of all time is currently being constructed at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and will be exactly one hydrogen ion thick at its point. It will be used exclusively to get the gunk out from the fingernails of the intern who is forging it. And God knows Harold needs it, just look at them on his facebook they're fucking disgusting.

The 8hr work day / 40hr work week is an infringement on our right to be human on earth

just thinking about how much amatonormativity fucked us over, how a lot of aros discovering they're aro go through a moment of such self hatred of their aro identity that they go "i can't be this". That the idea of romantic love and love in general is something that makes us human and if we live without love what is the point of living at all. But they are wrong about that, so wrong. There's so much more to life than love.

i just want to say to questioning aros, to aros who have just figured out they're aro, and especially to loveless aros. Even to aros who have known they're aro for a while and have still not been able to find acceptance. You may hate who you are now but there's so much joy and light in the world, in your life, even without love. Love is not the be all and end all. You are not broken, you are not inhuman, there is nothing wrong with you. Your aroness is part of you and it is beautiful. You will get to a place where you embrace your aromanticism, you will come to love/accept it. I know this because I was you. There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel and you will thrive. It may hurt now but you'll become stronger and tougher and realise just how much your life matters and how much happiness there is within your life even without love. I know it might sound lonely and scary at first but you're not alone. You've never been alone. Just because you're aro it doesn't mean you'll end up unhappy or lonely. Even if the whole world is against you there's still a community just like you. You'll never be alone, not truly. And I hope one day you truly do end up accepting your aroness. Because it's one part of you that makes you whole.
