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.

Love the emotional support fish

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, explain that to an idiot please. Could the water pressure crush a person? It wouldn't just go up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because water doesn't compress it transfers any shockwaves straight through anybody who is in the water. This happens much faster than the water has time to move out of the way.

Sailors who are in the water after abandoning ship during naval battles are in extreme danger of dying if a bomb goes off close by.

can drink the water

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

random question: why are tank interiors painted white?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

better visibility, reflects what little light there is in the tank (i think)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

hide the cum stains

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

✅ Can drink the water.

❎ Should drink the water.

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!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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...

One bullet hits the body and the crew goes deaf.

Do they make those for lungs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

put some weighted (i.e. neutrally buoyant) ballpit balls in the water to disperse the shockwave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can pee wherever/whenever you want.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Correction: you can no longer drink the water.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just leave the hatch open a little bit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A fish tank, if you will

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

*swimming through the desert in your tank

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I swim through the desert in a tank with no name...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It felt good to be ~~out of the rain~~ in the wet tank blob blob blob
