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

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

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 21 points 3 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.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] mrmetaverse@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

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@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 7 points 3 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.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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.
