Oh, right. Then it must be Bob Marley’s hair:

No that's dreadlocks. A deadlock is an early class of battleship.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, that's Dreadnought. Deadlock is a Batman villain who is an expert in firearms.

[–] NielsBohron 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not, you're thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

No, you’re thinking of a dead lach. A deadlock is an anti folk music pioneer—not really dead yet though he claims to be dead inside.

No, you're thinking of Lach who as far as I know is still alive. Deadlock is that cyborg guy from Marvel comics.

Ackchyually, you're referring to Deathlok. Deadlock is a cartoon metal band from the mid to late 2000s.

sorry to ruin the chain but it’s loch, not lach. no irn bru for you!

[–] model_tar_gz 4 points 4 months ago

Eh I just misspelled it, the spirit, pronunciation are still there. I consider the chain in tact.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Hmmm. I think you're thinking of a dreadnaught. A deadlock is a magic using class in popular roleplaying games whose game powers are granted by a powerfu, but often manipulative, patron.

[–] Plum 4 points 4 months ago

That's a warlock. Deadlock is the first frontman from AC/DC, before they got that Geordie fellow.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

No that's a dead loch. A deadlock is the bond of matrimony between two individuals

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I read it as dreadlocks in the first place.

[–] NielsBohron 4 points 4 months ago

Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.

I read the post as "dreadlock" like three times in a row lol. I have been employed as a developer for many years and I don't think I've ever heard of "deadlock" as a named concept until now. The more you know.
