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.

That would be such a flex. You're driving through the desert with you tank full of water and people around you are dying of dehydration.

When this tank gets hit by a shell:

Why is there smoke coming out of your tank, Seymour?

Oh ho, no! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed tanks we're having! Mmm, steamed tanks!

[–] InfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, so a shell hits a tank and it superheats the air inside? Is that real?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago

Only if you're trying to prepare an unforgettable luncheon and are within view of the Aurora Borealis. /ncd

The water would heat up and boil slowly and eventually if there was a fire occuring on the outside of the tank.

If it is hit in an area which causes the tank's armaments to explode into the crew cabin then yes you would have a Russian Instant Pot...

You can pee wherever/whenever you want.

can drink the water

As a tank maintainer, this is the least credible part of the post.

[–] BulbasaurBabu@lemmings.world 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is it though? Technically, they can drink the water, but nobody said it would be a good experience to do so

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

✅ Can drink the water.

❎ Should drink the water.

Don’t die of spall, but die extra quick of shockwaves transmitted through water.

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Simple solution: we'll have a fishtank, but filled with air. Put it in the watertank to make the watertank mk. 2: the airwatertank tank

[–] nuke@yah.lol 24 points 11 months ago

Love it. Here's $5 billion dollars and a years supply of cocaine. I need these operational stat! Question, will more cocaine speed up or slow down the production? Fuck it, here's more cocaine.

Water doesn’t compress. The tank operators don’t need their internal organs, right?

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just leave the hatch open a little bit.

Throw on a few water hammer arrestors from the hardware store, problem solved.

Isn't that good? It sounds like it's creating a shield? I'm pretty sure I'm right, I say ship it.

I'm not like an army guy, but I did get to ride around in a tank once, and based on that experience I'm in favor of this idea.

Everything was very hot inside the tank, the water will help with that a lot.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 10 months ago

Eventually the water is just gonna start getting to boiling temperature and no one will notice because of the frog thing.

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 17 points 11 months ago

And you get a hot tub from all of the heat! Awesome!

I know smth about this is fucking dumb, but no clue what. The added weight? The impracticality?

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago (12 children)

Air is a compressible fluid. Water is incompressible. Energy from shock waves will be transmitted from the hull to the crew in a much more efficient fashion.

Two fish are in a tank. One turns to the other and says, you man the guns and I’ll drive.

Inertia will be a bitch tho

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 12 points 11 months ago

As a fun fact, tanks were really called that way because the British didn't want the Germans to know what was being deployed in WW1 on the continental frontline.
