A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.

For those not in the know, there was a select group of restaurant employees who used to be able to tell when some shit was going down geopolitically because all the takeout places near the White House would get this big flood of orders for the people in various US government buildings working late. It would often precede sudden big shit happenings (e.g. us invading places) that were otherwise unexpected.
Idk if they have fixed the information leakage or if it’s still that way but apparently it used to be very reliable and notable to the people working in the restaurants.
The solution is to order takeout at random intervals in random amounts.
Or just fucking offer good an cheap food to your employees in house but thats probably too expensive for the richest developing nation in the world.
There’s a (likely apocryphal) story about a country tracking subjects inside the pentagon, and being completely convinced that one building near the center was absolutely the most important in the complex. Every single head of staff, general, admiral, etc would visit the building for 10-20 minutes at a time, so it must be some major communication hub. They devised plans to infiltrate this building, to see what was inside.
It was the coffee shop.
TIL "apocryphal"
