So, I think I've seen higher, but the second explosion when the turret landed is definitely worth a lot of points for style.
Cool high jump. Too bad they can only do it once.
Well, these things are one time use, just like fireworks.
Somebody probably died in that fireball
They went straight from biology to physics without any time to feel the in between. There are far worse ways to go.
Skipping right past chemistry, sounds like a best case scenario.
As long as you don't jump all the way to mathematics. Then we have a problem.
Jesus, never heard it put like that before and it feels a lot more visceral.
It's actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was "You wouldn't die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics." I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version "They ascended from biology to a more pure science."
This isn't the first time this has happened, you know. It's just something you expect to see on the daily.
Nah, the pressure of the explosion milliseconds prior to the heat is what likely killed them, but that fireball was a nice follow-up.
There's not many great ways to go as a tanker. At least it's quick
MFW I have spent my whole life not doing genocide in Ukraine.
Mind sharing your secrets to restraint?
Drink more Ovaltine
Hopefully.
Good! Several fewer vatniks to hurt people in Ukraine.
NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.
