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.

My brain has been poisoned too thoroughly by New Vegas for me to make any vaguely reasonable comment. W should make Archimedes and melt putin into a puddle.

I don't do this often but this

Yeah except the focal point of those mirrors is measured in meters not 100s of kilometers. You can't use them to focus on something that far away.

I don't think they're all accurate enough to all hit a focal point dead-on even if you built a targeting computer to handle atmospheric lensing.

Also, the economic cost of it probably makes missiles seem really cheap.

*Jesse, what the hell are you talking about?

With one ?, he's not scared or anything.

I love the fact that those towers are so bright they glitch up Google maps satellite view.

Seeing them at a distance while driving from Primm to Nipton was fucking intense, that shit is overwhelmingly bright.

Would it be safe to live somewhere nearby?

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

Unsure if there were any residencies near it. There's a pretty good distance from the road to the closest of the towers. I do believe there is a golf course not far from it.

... In the middle of THE driest region in the country.

All this science talk but the first thing I thought of was a reference to Fallout New Vegas.
