(How do you do those little boxes that you can open for alt text?) Alt Text: A post by @leonard_ritter, showing an image of a roughly humanoid figure with a lot of red dots near the arms and legs, with another image presumably from a video game in which a female looking humanoid is shown, wearing armor that covers arms and legs, but only a bikini-like area near the torso region. The post says “our dwarven engineers came up with a new armor design protecting against the typical injuries sustained by warriors returning from battles in the netherworld”.
Survivorship bias
I suspect the warriors were wearing armour on their torsos when they went to battle, leaving only extremities able to take damage
So risking that i might overexplain a joke, the original is about planes: The story goes that engineers looked at planes returning from battles to see where they should reinforce their armour. The returning planes had a lot of holes in the wings and very few in the body so they were like “seems like we need to reinforce the wings” but some bloke rightly mentioned that the planes with holes in the wings returned while the planes with holes in the body did not. So most holes being in the wings was survivorship bias and the actual parts in need for reinforcement were in places they did not detect holes from the returning planes because getting hit there seemed to mean the planes wouldn’t make it back.
Don’t forget to get your brazilian done before heading for the battlefield.
Here’s how for inline images:
I bet that armour is great for summertime.
This is fun because of the assumptions it makes of the reader before it’s funny, and once you get it, you’re in the ‘in’ crowd. I lold
Source for the image on the right is Castanic female leather armor from TERA (I can’t find the original source, but this screenshot shows the set)
Netherworld measles

So vital organs are just for show, no need to protect those
The joke is that these are the warriors that return from battle. Those that didnt make it likely died because they were stabbed in a spot those who returned weren’t stabbed, but the engineers aren’t all that smart and only design protection from the injuries they see.
