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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

Why are they called "Technicals" is it short for anything?

Edit: yep, "non-standard tactical vehicle" (NSTV) in US millitary terms.... Weird that that term doesn't have the word "technical" in it though.

It's "technically" a combat vehicle

Which is the best kind of combat vehicle

"technical assistance grants"

Hilux does all the things people wish the cyber truck could do.

On a budget?!? have you seen what these puppies go for? The absolutely cheapest drive-able used hilux in Denmark, is a two seater 2008 that's done 228000 km, and looks like 300k. Even the navigation has been ripped out and replaced with some butt ugly off the shelf stereo. And the seller is still asking for €9300.

I'd friggin love to have a hilux, but it's definitely not budget enough.

Funnily enough, 2nd hand hilux prices started skyrocketing after topgear did their hilux shitpost

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

It was what piqued my interest in getting one, but I was broke and in school, so no hilux for me. But that the prices are still inflated is wild. I mean it was the 4th and 5th gen models that were unbreakable, and the one I found was 11years newer than 5th gen.

But the age of the unbreakable hilux means that I can get them on a classic car registration, which comes with a low yearly registration fee, inspections every 8th year, vs 2nd for newer cars, and cheap insurance. I may have been looking the wrong places for a hilux.

I want this as a bumper sticker.

Is this on a shirt? I want this on a shirt

Eh, too late to take it back.

Yep, you need to listen to Agalloch now.

Can we compromise? How about Sabaton with the bass turned up?

Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
