      I don’t know of a single engineer who has never built a trebuchet.

      I’m not even a “proper” engineer and I have like, five desktop trebs, 2 ballistae and some other odds and ends (3d printed, of course,)

      It’s like, a right of passage or something.

        I have a scar over my eye from a trebuchet I built in high school, then I went to college for engineering, so that checks out

          yeah. Gotta be careful with them.

          even the desktop variety has a lot of energy in the system.

          Probably better than the scar my cousin has on his thigh from an ad hoc fulcrum catapult.

        I’m a machinist, which is kind of engineer adjacent. We make cannons.

        I’m a software engineer and I built a trebuchet during lockdown to launch Easter eggs at the neighbours’ gardens since we weren’t allowed to go see them.

          The plastic candy-filled kind…. I hope.

          Or. I hope they weren’t very good neighbors….

            No, tiny bits of hidden software. It’s not a very efficient way of distributing code, but it was fun.

              Yeah. You’re not allowed to stuff Easter eggs for Easter.

              Also, we’ll add “get the Halloween candy”, too. Probably give people apple 2’s or something,

              Rember kids, if you find a USB stick in your easter egg, run home and plug it in to get free candy in Roblox.
