As with every time this is posted, someone has to come point out that this picture is completely unrelated. He had 2 prosthetics, both can be found on his Wikipedia page.

Guess I'm the one who gets to be pedantic this time!

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

OP could be funny and just change the pic in the post out with this one to gaslight you.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I literally just did that and was gonna write "check again, bucko"

you beat me to it

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 days ago

Maybe he lost his left arm too

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

He wrote be clutching the quill betwixt his buttcheeks

[-] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

you got to hand it to him

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 days ago

Writing poetry, ha! Ash can crush a metal cup with his hand.

Groovy

Writing with this thing sounds difficult because most of us write with our fingers. Proper writing technique is all arms since that allows you to write much more without fatigue. So as long as your elbows and shoulders are intact, you can just duct tape a pen to your stump and write just as well as you can with a hand. Think of writing on a chalkboard, but scale it down to a piece of paper.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

They didn't have duct tape back then. Mechanical arm was obviously the only solution left

[-] Rooty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

There is nothing stopping you from becoming a mercenary and getting your arm shot off, OP.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

He also coined the popular German insult "Leck mich am Arsch" (literally "lick my ass").

[-] slampisko@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Is that not what the very bottom line in the picture says?

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

So it does.

Another fun fact about the guy though is that he's credited with coining the phrase "lick my ass" in his poetry.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago
[-] erin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, true. He also wrote the first known usage of the popular phrase "lick my ass" though. Fun fact.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago

Well we don't know that it popularized the phrase from that

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

Violet Evergarden irl. The warrior poet thing at least

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 3 days ago

I’m fairly sure Catullus wrote poetry with similar phrases in it more than a thousand years earlier

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago
[-] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Then what does Dogullus mean?

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago
[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Ti's but a scratch

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago

I like the bit about his friends having to roll a natural 20 to get him out of gaol.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

And a bribe.
