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.

The fact that they were both colourless liquids meant that handling accidents were common, as in the case of one unfortunate ground crewman who inadvertently poured a container of T-Stoff into another containing a small quantity of C-Stoff. As author William Green recounts: “Before he realized the magnitude of his mistake his remains had been spread thinly over the entire test shed.”

Delightful.

engineers: lets fill it with human dissolving liquid, what could go wrong?

pilots: 🫠

And this is what happens when you combine the aeromorph and vore fetishes

I'm reading this article in Simon Whistler's voice. It's impossible not to.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 7 months ago

Lions led by Donkeys has an episode on it as well, I think it's the same title. What an insane aircraft.

I've heard of the soup Nazi but this is ridiculous!

Soup for you!

Whoa, this is neat. And the site reminds be of stmbleupon

Tiiiiny nitpick: overland camo is, well, land colored. Marine camo is ocean colored. Basically, whatever color would be below the hardware when an enemy viewed it is the theme you want. For instance, ocean camo overland? Ain't camouflage, now is it?

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 122 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Too credible.

None of this matters, everything was in black and white back then anyway until color was invented.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Rock n Roll -> Sex -> Drugs -> Color

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, in "western" society Albert Hoffmann was the first person to see color. Among eg. Amazon tribes and First Nations folks in the US seeing color was more common, thanks to religious uses of hallucinogens.

Anyone remember that Canadian kids show that changed from b&w to color during the broadcast?

Edit- spelling

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

What if youre inverted?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

iirc this thing was insanely good to fly but insanely dangerous to fly.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'd heard the exact opposite about it being good to fly, specifically that it was incredibly hard to turn

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It was a glider with a rocket, essentially. Apparently a lot of the test pilots liked it before they, well, died a death horrible enough that I don't even feel that great wishing it on a nazi.

Edit: also it may have been the first aircraft to break the sound barrier, one of the test pilots maxed out the speedo and reported a noise that he thought was the rocket exploding.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

If you know where you're going, you don't have to turn!

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 7 months ago

Oh yeah, this is a rocket plane. You only get a few minutes of bat-out-of-hell fwooshing before the fuel runs out and you engage in a controlled descent looking for some place to ~~crash~~ ~~not crash~~ ditch safely, and then walk away (hopefully not in enemy-controlled territory). The prop assisted in providing a bit more range on descent.

It it weren't in the middle of a war, this might be a ballsy sport.

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

On actually seeing the aircraft fly, Udet reportedly flew into a rage, declaring: “That is no airplane, leave it alone! I forbid you to fly it again.”

Most credible Generaloberst Ernst Udet, tut tut no vision

isn't that the jet that used human dissolving fuel

If the Luftwaffe flight sims informed, its not the tendency of the plane to explode due to mismanaged engines that'll kill you, but the super-finicky landing skids on terrain, rather than wheels on a landing strip.

But then, going up against a sea of B-17s in a Bf-109 was pretty suicidal anyway, so Luftwaffe pilots were willing to try anything, including rocket planes.

Tbf, it was pretty suicidal for the day bombing B-17s too. They were some brave MFs.

[–] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

They were getting desperate late in the war.

A "probably-one-way 🤷🏼‍♂️" plane would at least seem better than a Zero kamikaze.
