As a machinist a lathe is the first thing that comes to mind, you get some clothing or even a rope caught in the wrong place and it’ll eat you alive

    I work at a tool store and often fantasize about a zombie apocalypse or something starting while I’m at work. Should fit this situation, so let’s go! If it happens in… Aisle 1: dual wielding a drill and heatgun Aisle 2: dual wielding circular saw and angle grinder Aisle 3: put on safety goggles, strangle them with AirTool hoses Aisle 4: dual wielding air nailers! Aisle 5: giant wrench Aisle 6: screwdriver to the face Aisle 7: steel automotive jack handles Aisle 8: wench snare traps everywhere Aisle 9: pickaxe Aisle 10: generator fumes Aisle 11: tumbling tower of tires Back wall: hammers!

    I work in a hospital so: scalpels, oxygen bottles/ wall supply explosions (hard to do without disabling the safety’s which I don’t know how to do), plenty of radiation sources in the building, loads of dangerous drugs from sedatives to painkillers to chemotherapy. If I’m lucky the monster might just die of MRSA or pneumonia before they get to me.

    The autopsy saw. It’s a gleaming monstrosity of stainless steel designed to part human flesh like Moses parted the red sea. You can stack zombies as deep as you want, the saw won’t even slow down. The only thing that will stop it is the length of the mechanical arm it hangs from, because it’s unfortunately too heavy for most people to lift.

    Recently retired from a place that makes rocket engines, and there’s just so much. Start with a rocket engine itself - the combustion gasses are like 3300 C (6000 F) with more than 400,000 lb of thrust. But there’s a lot associated. We dealt with lots of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. We have a giant braze oven that we can put a whole rocket nozzle into. It’s quite an arsenal.

    The elevators that always breakdown. They were doing a repair today and knocked out power to the whole building.

    I work with IT but in a meat processing plant, the giant saw that cuts pigs in half would certainly do it. Even though all of the slaughtering and butchering have been dismantled many years ago due to cutbacks, it would be a very good location for a horror movie or an augmented reality experience or something like that, it’s almost like everyone just up and left.

    I work from home…

    Best I got is an old fashioned paper cutter that looked way too heavy duty.

    Cue the scene from The Faculty where the bad boy twists off the blade of that thing.

    The cardboard crusher probably, just have to tip them over the edge. Puts them nicely in 1.5x1.5x1m cubes

    Probably all the knives and the room full of people who spend 8 hours a day cutting things to bits with them. After a while, you get pretty good at finding where to cut through joints, so it doesn’t take all that long.
