A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Second time I've seen wreck-as-wreak on lemmy today, in fact.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Not my meme, just too lazy to edit it myself.

[–] UlfKirsten@feddit.de 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Too lazy or are your respiratory problems acting up?

Jesús, heal thyself

I mean jesus it really must be tough to breathe

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

My apologies, PugJesus. I didn't notice it was You. Please, forgive my insolence. May Your wheeze be as rare as the worthy souls in this life.

Hey, a Benchy!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wish I had that little tank for rush hour commuting.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that is cheap! If only I had somewhere to drive it, and spare cars to set up around the track to crush with it.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because it has tires and not treads, it's OK to drive on paved roads (treads tend to tear up asphalt), and apparently legal to own and drive in the greater 48. Jay Leno has one in his car collection.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Is there anything Jay Leno doesn't have in his collection?

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Non-denim clothes

Proper fire suppression?

Alternatively, following a similar naming convention, the Weasel : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiesel_AWC

Ah, the V-173 Flying Pancake on the bottom right! The most durable airplane that never was

The Stipa "Flying Barrel" was, it could be plausibly argued, the pioneer of the turbofan engine that powers pretty much all today's big passenger jets.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

the engine and propeller completely enclosed by the fuselage—in essence, the whole fuselage was a single ducted fan

Wow, that is pretty unique.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The French also tried this.

Guns: oui. Planes: non.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that is a rather cursed-looking aircraft design. Did it work?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Evidently. 141 test flights, caught fire while taking off, no reported casualties. There's a second one in a museum that is pristine because the project was cancelled right as they completed it. IIRC the pilots did not appreciate the noise level inside the cockpit. Can't imagine why. Doesn't help that the canopy is not hinged: it goes over the nose.

[–] HorreC@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago

I love the idea of like the Shriners rolling around in little tanks for parades.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 6 points 8 months ago

Today was rough so thank you. That little stubby plane is adorable.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 8 months ago

The boat looks like someone just printed out a gigantic Benchy.

[–] don@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

It often falls to the good guys to wreck the havoc that the bad guys wreak.

What is this? A military for ANTS‽ It needs to be at least three times this big!

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Is the boat real? What was it used for?
