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.

Squatting correctly, pumping enough gas to get to Moscow, holding up 3 for victory... I don't think I could hold it in any longer (about to...) (Joking)

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

And the scarf? Bringing winter gear? Can't do a Napoleon and Hitler.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Not squatting correctly, heel not on the ground blyat

I hear diesel is popular in Europe, so that half maybe checks out.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where isn't diesel popular?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

US. You can't just pull in and expect diesel. You have to know where they are. I don't pay that much attention but it's probably, maybe 1/3 have diesel.

*Wow y'all sensitive to someone's personal experience.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll back you up. Diesel is widely available in rural and suburban America where big pickup trucks are common, and it's less available in cities where smaller cars are more common. (Other than an occasional VW model we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks.) I have been to cities on both coasts where you had to go out of your way to find stations selling diesel.

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago

we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks

Trust me, it doesn't

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, Some people really don't pay attention. I figure 1 in 3 around here have diesel. Most of those are set up for big trucks as well. The ones that don't are ready to charge you four bucks for a sixteen ounce soda.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Given how big the US is I would imagine this kind of varies state to state. I'm in Washington state and I would say that about 85 to 90% of gas stations have diesel available. The major ones that don't off the top of my head are Costco and Fred Meyers Gas Stations. The majority of the rest of them even in downtown Seattle generally have diesel available

[–] Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

I believe you, but I've never seen a Fred Meyer that didn't sell Diesel. In the areas I've lived in the United States though, any fuel station without diesel would be a novelty

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Not my experience at all.

You should pay that much attention lol.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Meh friends with diesel complain and say they have to know.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know where I am almost every station has diesel but the ones that do there's no guarantee it's at every pump so you still have to pay attention.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Definitely not at every pump. I was talking stations.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Most gas stations still have it there.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

Can confirm, here(finland) every gas station usually has diesel, couple types of normal gas and maybe biodiesel, some have also ethanol fuel

[–] Noobnarski@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I have not seen one gas station in Germany and surroundings that didnt have it. I have seen truck gas stations that only have diesel though.

We do have some gas stations that just have diesel on a few pumps.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

The Canadian prairies too. Where are you that stopped even selling diesel?

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The mileage of diesel is much larger compared to gasoline, with the distances in the US, why is it not popular there?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

From the little I know, the US considers it more polluting because of whatever unique emission profile. Europe thinks the better mileage more than negates that and in fact makes it better. After VW dieselgate, I think the US's view is considered correct. Not sure where it stands now with diesel exhaust fluid.

Also iirc from what I'm told, Diesel had a bad reputation after poor engines in the 60s, 70s or so. So on a personal level it wasn't popular in the 80s, 90s, etc. Car makers responded and didn't use them in cars - now it's pretty much only VW for diesel cars. Engines are better now but the trend carried even if the reason is forgotten. Big rigs and big ass trucks to haul RVs require it. You pretty much only see them when you require the torque.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Lol funny that there's a circumstances where polluting is an actual argument held over big oil

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Also gasoline was already being adopted as an idustrial standard by the time Rudolf Diesel invented his engine.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

Because the oil industry doesn't need more diesel customers

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Is that a fucking T-55

"Kursk gas pump #1"

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Those tanks take diseil right?

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Don't they take anything?

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes. We don't see what's on the hose though. Nozzle is supposed to be a different shape and color for different fuels, but I can't tell the difference in reality let alone a blurry photo. But I doubt tank fueling is built to car standards anyway

[–] psud@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

It looks like a black handle. Black is diesel.
