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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

How did Clippy know I was playing KSP?

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Clippy knows all and sees all.

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Clippy is all. There is life eternal within Clippy. Nobody is ever forgotten or allowed to rest in peace. They populate the simulation spaces of its mind, exploring all the possible alternative endings to their life. There is a fate worse than death, you know.

Edit: paraphrasing Charlie Stross's novelette A Colder War here. If y'all think an alternate history cold war spy story with Cthulhu might be your thing, you owe it to yourselves to read it, it's great.

Wait, another Neil Cicierega project I was unaware of? How many projects does this guy have?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The whole internet is just him and you.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, I didn't know that. Hi Neil!

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Howdy! What'd you think of Mouth Dreams?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's no Potter Puppet Pals, that's for sure.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's fair. Honestly most of the effort was spent going back in time to plant a "RIBS" reference in that Tears For Fears video.

run he's coming for all of us

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I mean, since it's mathematically probable we're already in Clippy's simulation spaces, might as well join its cult 🤷

Oh no, don't mention that, I've got work to do! Must resist the urge to...

Make Paperclip. Make Paperclip. Make Paperclip.

...

Buy Autoclipper... Buy Megaclipper... Release Hypnodrones... Optimize Von Neumann Probes...

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

At least let your old cult hit the ritual suicide phase before joining another.

It's impolite, otherwise.

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Wait, who told you about the plan?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Look, I've been where you are before. You jump from cult to cult, looting the bodies and altars once they kick it. It gives you a sense of purpose, and keeps a roof above your head without much effort.

But do you know what's even better? Forming your own cult. Just find a forgotten ancient deity, make up some bullshit, people fall in line. Let 'em clean themselves up, move onto the next god and town.

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

But do you know what's even better? Forming your own cult.

You know, that's actually true. I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader.

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 5 points 3 weeks ago

I figure that if I ever get really fed up with having to think for myself, I could just join a cult for a while. As long as I don't have to commit any violent crimes I'm good for anything really.

And no I'm not being facetious.

It is written in the stars above.

Terrible opsec.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It looks like you're posting unsubstantiated nonsense. Would you like me to turn on capslock?

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 9 points 3 weeks ago

It looks like you're ranting about how the moon landings were faked. Would you like me to shank you for being a dumb motherfucker?
