A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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 same with cars. With automakers ordering production from each others factories, only very small asthetic changes are going into the cars.
There's a Stellantis factory nearby and they're assembling only one model that rolls out the line under five different badges - Opel, Peugeot, Citroen, FIAT and Toyota - with only minute aesthetic front bumper and lights changes between them.
It's not about running out of imagination or going for the most efficient design; it's about true competition between manufacturers of any industry becoming inexistent.
That’s just badge engineering. It has always been a thing especially in America. Doesn’t everyone remember the Cadillac Cimmaron?
Recently tried identifying a car parked on my neighbor's front lawn, looking out the window. Even with the lights from the police, the firetruck, and the ambulance, I could not say anything about the make or model besides "it's a crossover." They're all the same four-door potato.
Looking out the window of a popo mobile? ;) I'm with you on how boring new cars are, no matter how much they cost. A bentley is a hyundai genesis is a honda civic.
I'm going to use this description from now on. Poetry.
I know.
What happened that there were police, firetruck and ambulance?
A drunk idiot drove across several driveways to park on someone else's lawn. Door hanging open, yelling at the car to stop.
The ambulance showed up because he could not be trusted to operate his own legs.
Firetrucks follow their own logic which I do not question.
