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.

This is a cruise missile.

[–] RidderSport 31 points 2 months ago

Technically yes

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago

Yes. I'd go so far as to say it still would be with just two wheels.

[–] tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

No. The driver is in front of the chamber so it's a bullpup.

Tuk tuk? Don't you disrespect the Ape Piaggio!

[–] IkarusHagen2 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Piaggio Ape* you don't say Golf VW, do you?

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

That's exactly what we do in Italy. Call it Piaggio Ape and you'll get quite a few puzzled stares.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Italy? Is that what you call South Switzerland?

[–] IkarusHagen2 4 points 2 months ago

Well, TIL i guess:D

[–] lengau@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

I remember driving around in my grandma's Corolla Toyota...

[–] ik5pvx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Piaggio Ape doesn't sound well in Italian. Ape Piaggio rolls much better.

Also known as apixedda where i live

They deploy this vehicle in rough terrain because if it gets stuck the gunner can pick it up and put it on his shoulders and carry it across the obstacle.

I love that Forbes says: "We've built up enough clout around the financial world for today. Time to troll just a lil beety beet...." Good work, bros! My dad still reads your stuff every morning! He's been subscribed since you printed on sheepskin, keep it up. Salute.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I mean I don't want to carry that thing + ammo.

[–] plactagonic@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 months ago

I raise you the bicycle units.

[–] Successful_Try543 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm impressed that the tuk tuk seems to withstand the recoil of the MG3.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I imagine if you try firing from anything other than in line with the tuktuk, it falls over.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Just line up an enemy behind it and watch it recoil them into the Kuiper Belt?

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

i'd put the just cause 2 tuk tuk against any video game vehicle

[–] ik5pvx@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

The 2nd strongest armed force in Ukraine is using anything and everything to convince the world that they still have operating armored vehicles for war. The Telegraph pod "Ukraine: The Latest" just confirmed yesterday that the Russians have covered their last T-90 in a big, badly welded metal box that prevents them from firing their T-90's main weapon. But golf carts are funny, too. Laugh with us, it's ok!

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Now bring that to World of Tanks. Or War Thunder.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Danes should hire Indian rickshaw drivers. Putin would start shitting in his pants.
