This antique roflcopter was a high quality piece of military hardware in its day. Each roflcopter rolling off the assembly line during Meme War II cost over nine thousand dollars, which was a lot back then.

Yeah enemy forces kept setting them up the bomb and taking all your base... hard times.

[–] planish@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It was quite hard for the roflcopter pilots to take off and land while their base was under a tack.

If you're going to post ROFLCOPTER, have the decency and respect to do it as actual ascii art

What a classic, I'm glad more people remember this one

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Wow. I had always heard of the ROFLcopter but I don't think I'd ever seen one until now.
