An Italian man has been crushed to death under thousands of vast wheels of a parmesan-style hard cheese, which weigh about 40kg each, firefighters have said.

    I just assumed this was how Italians did capital punishment.

    I wonder what the protocol is for the cheese. Like, how much do you salvage? You’ll obviously want to save as much as possible without grossing out customers. Maybe you let the family eat the cheese most responsible for the death, as a kind of scapecheese? Or you do a reverse firing squad kind of deal where the cheeses are cleaned and randomized to share the blame.

    He should have just kept opening his inventory to eat them as the fell. What a noob.

    As much as this is tragic, I can’t help but think about that episode of TNG when Worf got hit by a falling barrel and nearly died.
