This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.

There was a guard. It was only $500. People were invited to kick it, but it was monitored.

Ah, I'm going to miss Snopes in the post-truth society. :(

Dremel with a diamond drill bit would make quick work of that

Bus stop.

Bus.

Pretty sure if the bus went at it fast enough backwards it would do better than some clown and his size 11s

Pretty much any tool with a cutting surface made of tungsten, high speed steel, or industrial diamond.

But one source I found says they only let people use their feet.

And nobody thought to install some glass breakers on the bottom of their boots?

Edit: Hell, I'd even consider wedging a nice sharp piece of quartz into the tread of a boot.

Bullet proof glass is plexiglass/polycarbonate, so I don't think a glass breaker would help.

Oddly enough having lots of spikes hurts your chances by spreading the force over more area. You’d really just want a single small spike.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

It's like an inch thick plastic, so I doubt that would help. I think that's what they make the overlook sky balconys out of, so it's pretty resilient. Maybe you could whittle away at it with metal cleats over time? But I think they would probably kick you out first.

This isn't plexiglass, it seems to just be laminated glass

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hmm, bullet proof glass is plexi/polycarb, so I wonder why they're advertising it as such.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I don't think they were advertising it that way, the label in the picture says security glass. The reddit post is just poorly titled.

If they're only allowing kicking, you should use a 50cal shoe!

If it's 3 million dollars, my car at 30mph should handle it.
