While the pot would suffer the brunt of the blast, that’s its purpose in this situation. It also has much more structural integrity than your squishy flesh. If the pot is destroyed, that likely means you are still alive.

A few other thoughts came to mind, something like a weighted blanket or sand bags.

Unfortunately, you’re correct that it would likely be impossible to know how long until it detonates. I don’t have any idea if you can tell that or if possible, how.

1. Should be as easy as throwing a rock.

2&3. Both pressure and shrapnel are deadly. For pressure, imagine a bubble machine blowing bubbles. You could poke them and they pop. A slight breeze could pop them. This is due to a pressure difference. When an explosive creates a pressure difference, the cells of your body are like the bubbles. They pop. Pressure will have a hard time getting around solid objects. A wall or a chair might be sufficient. Shrapnel will be more difficult. If this is truly a concern, I’d suggest having a “decorative” metal pot. If you could cover the grenade with it, that could potentially nullify its effect. Put as much matter and mass between you and the explosive as possible. If you have nothing available, lay on the ground with your head furthest from the grenade and your feet pointing towards it. Basically you would want to be able to draw a straight line from the grenade through your feet and out your head. Because that’s the direction the shrapnel will take.

Edit: some people in the comments with a fundamental misunderstanding of how weapons work. A grenade is a purpose built weapon that was designed. If you took the explosive out of a grenade, put it in a metal pot with the lid welded on, and detonated, you’d just have a mangled pot. Pots won’t break up into shrapnel it’s gonna look like the T1000 after getting shot with the grenade launcher. And any shrapnel that makes it through, will have its kinetic energy severely reduced.

Reminds me of when they released that voice-mail in the run up to the 2020 election to try to smear Biden. You could feel Biden’s compassion in the voice-mail. The right just doesn’t understand what that is or thinks it’s a weakness.

My comment is limited to ensuring scientific accuracy. It makes no claim about whether sex matters for bathroom access and changing rooms.

Since that was the topic at hand, shut the fuck up.

Good bot.

Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video. This cringey war against facts you’re waging is why people talk shit about you when you’re not around.

And no it’s not “cAuSe ThEy ArEn’T bRaVe EnOuGh To SaY iT tO mY fAcE!” It’s because you’re exhausting.

I like to hit 'em with a few photos of ALL trans people including ones like Buck Angel and have them pick out who they think is trans or not. They always fail.

I hate, with a burning passion, the term “biological sex”.

For anyone else questioning topics like this, here’s a fairly lengthy but great video on the topic.

Here’s the thing though, pretty much everything you just said is wrong. It’s not that simple if you think of humans as any other animal. Here’s a video link that is pretty long, but dives fairly deep into this topic that is massive from a scientific point of view.

Yeah, well my EV gets INFINITE gas mileage!

Don’t forget the fucking idiots totally cool and definitely not compensating intellectuals that “roll coal”.

Anyone got the tl:dr of his downfall?

Oddly enough you never hear of the reverse of this that isn’t precipitated by a TBI or similar catastrophic event.

Road Runner. Pretty sure it was literally one of the rules the writers had for the show.

Chinese peace prize.

Does it address water use? I’m aware spacecraft have thermal management systems. But also with the chief complaint of data centers being water use, are these thermal management systems able to dissipate the same energy? You don’t need that much water for earth based data centers without an underlying massive amount of heat to get rid of. I’d wager that heat is much higher than what spacecraft typically have to get rid of. It’s the actual quantity that I’m questioning.

I’d pronounce it clee-shay. Are there really people that rhyme that with niche?

Like quiche.

Isn’t one of the big complaints against data centers is the massive demand on water used for cooling? How are they going to cool these in space which is notoriously hard to cool things down in?

You only make peace with your enemies.
