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.

But what about Bubba Joe's lifted F-350 dually with the extra huge exhaust pipes and big big American flags? He's a real patriot so there's no way it's worse than all of these vehicles.

[–] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 19 points 10 months ago

Worse? It's more deadly than an M1 Abrams! Deadly is cool.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 53 points 10 months ago

Man imagine if that was an enforced rule

Like, Trucknuts McGee isn't even allowed to move into a house that's too close to the school because he's driving something that's better rated as an Armored Personnel Transport than as a passenger car.

[–] space@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Meanwhile in Europe, trucks have a flat front so drivers have great visibility.

[–] ZwoofBlaf@sh.itjust.works 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And we don't really drive "trucks" anyway, not as they know them in the US.

SUVs are getting annoyingly common though.

[–] cestvrai@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I think OP was referring to HGVs and not pickups.

It's definitely starting here too. Of course it's not as bad as the US but seeing those huge Dodg Rams or whatever is becoming more common. I guess I have to get used to it because I get annoyed every time I see such a car

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If they don't care about school shootings, they are not going to care about this.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I was gonna say, I've never heard about lifted trucks being banned in school zones.

[–] BraveLittleToaster@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If they are to drive an armored vehicle on public roads during peace time, even the military necessitates a vehicle commander standing out of his hatch with direct communications with the driver so he can have an overview of what's around the vehicle and compensate for the driver's blind spots. It is a basic safety rule.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 18 points 10 months ago

What, no driving an MBT into a school zone with all hatches closed? I'm sure we're all very shocked at this revelation.

[–] Mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Also he needs to be up there to hit them with his sword.

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 23 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I was not wondering this but now I'm wondering why you were wondering this

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Driving their MBT is a "there will be signs". OP won the lottery and was worried about school zones, like all responsible MBT operators.

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

Honestly good on OP. We could use more good role models to show the youngins what responsible tank ownership is all about.

[–] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

You could add the "I♥️Gaza" sign in the tank path. They love filming themselves running over signs

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It'll be important to watch out for children if Ukraine moves into Crimea.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

My homie said he peeled a bloody backpack of some kid out of treads of one of those tanks. Driver started crying and throwing up. Fuckin brutal.

[–] KaiReeve@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Ryan Fortnine made this point by climbing inside the engine compartment of a Dodge Ram.

They didn't modify the truck and dude is over 6' tall.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They really need to adjust their aim. They're just grazing those kids.

Not totally true because my sierra 2500 has cameras in the front, shows you what’s immediately ahead if you’re going less than 15 mph or so. Beeps like crazy and vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.

Rush hour traffic must get interesting

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Fucking sold, goin to the nearest Sierra dealership rn

[–] BraveLittleToaster@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is that why big trucks tailgate me? They just want their asshole tickled?

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They want you to get your dumbass out of the passing lane.

The fact that this needs to exist is absolutely ridiculous

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There is SO much to unpack in just three words! Omg 🤣

Yeah but presumably the parent in the M1 has a spouse operating a surveillance drone to provide real time ~~fire~~ child correction?

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Typically they don't operate without infantry support, so they'd likely be in radio contact with forward observers. But yes, in some circumstances it could be a reconnaissance UAV.

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Thank you this kind of comment is why I come here.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A BMW M1 sports car, produced 1978-81, only sits 1.14m tall, it’s probably got even better sight lines.

Having the engine at the back of the vehicle always helps.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Easy fix- short drivers and lift kits should be factored in with a ban. If it saves even one Power Wagon from a dent, isn't that worth a ban?

[–] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I had to verify. My Ram Power Wagon is 1.45 meters (57”) at the hood height. I’d consider it closer to 60” at full top since it’s so squared off, but who’s counting….
