Question asked: 11 months ago Brandon's response: 10 months ago Dude spent WEEKS of sleepless nights thinking about shardblades cutting through cheese... Maybe this concept shows up in Stones Unhallowed, hahaa
@@MDoorpsy I just realized I spend too much time on Cremposting because when I read "the last clap", my mind automatically went to Dalinar catching swords with his ass cheeks.
The fact that our Fandom comes up with shit this absurd but logical makes me so happy. The fact brandon entertains us with spoiler steams and reddit amas is the best. I love this so much hahah
I was hoping this would tangent into the discussion of souls, microbes, and how cheese being a microbial biproduct/microbrial nest, would on first strike, cause a possibility of multiple reactions: one: The shardblade passes through the cheese without cutting the physical matter, but severing the billions of little souls of the microbes in the cheese leaving a large grey swath through the block. two: since the eyes burn when a singular soul is severed, how does that look when billions of souls are severed, albiet really small ones? Combustive cheese? Instant molten cheese explosion upon contact with the shardblade? Could cheese armor be the mutually assured destruction in a duel with two shardblade holders?
But wouldnt that just make the band of cheese that was cut through dead rather than half a block of it? Meaning they would have to cut the exact length to split the cheese right?
I don't know much about the cosmere, but wouldn't this be true for almost everything? Maybe not as many in some cases, but pretty much all objects have microbes on them.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I assume that the burning has to do with the magnitude of the mind behind the soul, since we don't see plants burning. Since microbes are borderline plants when it comes to intelligence, you probably couldn't tell with the naked eye.
now all I can imagine is Kelsier, creeping through the IRE fortress only to hear someone through a closed door say, frustrated, "so you want to stop a shardblade, with CHEESE?"
My headcanon is that cheese won't stop a shardblade, even though someone can grab the sides of the blade to stop it, because the cheese lacks Intent. I will have a 10 part series of UA-cam videos to explain this.
@KuroNK cheese being cut is an quintenssential way of eating it so I dont think that the cheese would mind being cut as its helping it serve its function... oh god what have I become? 🤣
Gotta love authors that respond like this. Reminds me when I was on the Safehold forums and some guy named Runswithcelery gave a two page history lesson that I definately didn't remember from the books. Couple days later I found out Runswithcelery is David Weber's forum name. I was like "No wonder he knows unwritten history. He's the damn author."
@@swanshawn_ You know what? For years I've been considering starting to read the works of this man, and this comment will go down in history as the one that got me into his works, mentally ill crab paladins here I go.
Brandon Sanderson is author. The books in question are The Stormlight Archive. The first book is The Way of Kings. If you like epic fantasy: give it a try.

If the last clap works, then cheese also kinda has to. I do like the vaporization shield thing. It's like the Investiture equivalent of the Leidenfrost effect, except instead of preventing burns it just, lets you cut cheese (and presumably makes cutting other things a bit smoother)
I feel like this is an actual, well-known and accounted for issue in modern trades that still rely on blades in some form, like the cheese master OP but also logging, construction, demolition, etc. I think it’s commonly called “binding” when a blade gets stuck, but idk what kind of stuck that is. I just know from running the panel saw at a hardware store that when wood sags as you cut down through it, the blade tends to get wedged in there and will start burning the sides of the cut instead of continuing through the wood
That’s… actually a good point. Especially with the last clap scene with Dalinar, in theory it would stop it. Then again if the blade hits it it should fog slightly and cut through but idk. Does cheese have a soul?
It probably doesn't really, but it's left in and always pointed out because "oh so funny". Having it be that way is exactly as a supernerd would want it (almost more than all the rest), even if it's not likely at all if one looks at it very hard.
And then they got into a discussion about whether Nightblood is lactose intolerant.... ALSO I WAS JUST READING THIS REDDIT POST TEN MINUTES AGO, UA-cam, ARE YOU STALKING ME? this was high in my recommenddx
Sanderson definietly put alot of effort into the hard systems and world building. His answers to some of the world building questions are just as insane as this and everywhere lmao
Reminds me of that one time Brandon realized that tinfoil hats work against mind control under Cosmere rules.
aluminum
Close enough 😂
even canonized it in the books, 10/10

Great comment lmao

The very fact that the Last Clap works at all should have been enough to just confirm this with canon info.
please!

It sounds like a perfect punchline for Wit!

Brandon on reddit is amazing he keeps answering questions he probably shouldn't but then with so much logic and detail. Dude is a fantasy machine!
This has the same energy as when cats kept getting insanely drunk in Dwarf Fortress.
It's a feature not a bug
Proof that Lift is the best Radiant. She can defeat the dreaded cheese-knights with ease
Nightblood would be happy to help too I think, Cheese is evil after all
Conclusion: cheese blocks everything if there’s enough of it.
In dnd, I know magic is blocked by enough stone/thin sheet of lead. Curiously no mention of how much cheese it would take to have the same effect.

Inaccurate. Brandon takes a break by writing a different book.
😂😂😂 HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS

I assume microbes do not have souls, or at least souls large enough to see
@@poggestfrog perhaps souls numerous and large enough to cause cool special effects when burnt...as would give a shimmer or glow around a shard blade?
That's exactly what I was thinking. I assume that the burning has to do with the magnitude of the mind behind the soul, since we don't see plants burning. Since microbes are borderline plants when it comes to intelligence, you probably couldn't tell with the naked eye.

I just want to see shallon make a joke about her spren cutting cheese and then pattern explaining why it's a funny joke
My headcanon is that cheese won't stop a shardblade, even though someone can grab the sides of the blade to stop it, because the cheese lacks Intent.
I will have a 10 part series of UA-cam videos to explain this.
remember all things have awareness, the cheese might not want to be cut and divided in two, same as the stick not wanting to be fire.
@@KuroNK Ok it's unfair to bring the stick into this, that thing had an unstoppable will.
@KuroNK cheese being cut is an quintenssential way of eating it so I dont think that the cheese would mind being cut as its helping it serve its function... oh god what have I become? 🤣
So what happens if somebody dumps a few hundred Breaths into the cheese? Oh, this Cosmere thing is going to get SO confusing!
@@ZlothZloth I could tell you, but I don't want to spoil Secret Project 3.

That is such a Treecat name I love it 🤣🤣
I would love to see a nod to this in one of the books down the line. 👀
I'm both shocked and not at all surprised to see branderson make a full post about this
There is however one thing Brandon did not consider.
The cheese is alive, it has the souls of fungus.
Depends on if it’s cultured or not
I have no idea who the author is, what series this is from, or even how this got on my recommendeds. But count me enchanted by this whole thing.
Brando Sando has enchanted all of us with unusually hard magic systems and mentally ill palidins fighting crab goons. Highly recommend

Never thought there would be a specific method for cutting the cheese in the Cosmere.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week thank you for sharing
I feel like this is an actual, well-known and accounted for issue in modern trades that still rely on blades in some form, like the cheese master OP but also logging, construction, demolition, etc.
I think it’s commonly called “binding” when a blade gets stuck, but idk what kind of stuck that is. I just know from running the panel saw at a hardware store that when wood sags as you cut down through it, the blade tends to get wedged in there and will start burning the sides of the cut instead of continuing through the wood

Brandon Sanderson: Hold my cheese
This isn’t a skit, it’s just a reenactment
I been thinking about books and cheese.
I like them both.
I didn't know I needed this video until it made my day
“Of course a Shardblade can cut the cheese.”
Meanwhile a nearby Spren, “whew, excuse me, sorry about that. One too many bowls of bean chouta.”
If only myth busters had a shard blade when they did the very-heavy-books experiment!!
0:22 missed another opportunity to type for a few seconds then say “done”
Hahha the bed scene figuring it out got me.
Time to soulcast all fortifications into cheese.
That’s… actually a good point. Especially with the last clap scene with Dalinar, in theory it would stop it. Then again if the blade hits it it should fog slightly and cut through but idk. Does cheese have a soul?
It probably doesn't really, but it's left in and always pointed out because "oh so funny". Having it be that way is exactly as a supernerd would want it (almost more than all the rest), even if it's not likely at all if one looks at it very hard.
Cheese would probably act like wood.
Cheese is organic, so wouldn't a shardblade just cut straight through leaving a dead grey mark?
Cheese isn't alive so it could be cut like a corpse (think the chasmfiend from the failed hunt in Way of Kings)
And then they got into a discussion about whether Nightblood is lactose intolerant....
ALSO I WAS JUST READING THIS REDDIT POST TEN MINUTES AGO, UA-cam, ARE YOU STALKING ME? this was high in my recommenddx
👀 if you don't want to make a video about that I might.... 😂😂😂 Yes
Hahaha great video!
Is there cheese in roshar though?
Yes, actually! They just get their milk from pigs instead of cows
Maby the shin have some?
Shartplate
it happens to the best of us
This is hilarious. =D.
So which character gets to say, "who cut the cheese?"
🤣🤣
i have never read these books but i can appreciate some good worldbuilding
