That would be such a flex. You're driving through the desert with you tank full of water and people around you are dying of dehydration.

*swimming through the desert in your tank

[-] Stoney_Logica1@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

When this tank gets hit by a shell:

Why is there smoke coming out of your tank, Seymour?

Oh ho, no! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed tanks we're having! Mmm, steamed tanks!

[-] InfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago

Wait, so a shell hits a tank and it superheats the air inside? Is that real?

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 17 points 9 months ago

Only if you're trying to prepare an unforgettable luncheon and are within view of the Aurora Borealis. /ncd

The water would heat up and boil slowly and eventually if there was a fire occuring on the outside of the tank.

If it is hit in an area which causes the tank's armaments to explode into the crew cabin then yes you would have a Russian Instant Pot...

You can pee wherever/whenever you want.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 68 points 9 months ago

Correction: you can no longer drink the water.

can drink the water

As a tank maintainer, this is the least credible part of the post.

[-] BulbasaurBabu@lemmings.world 20 points 9 months ago

Is it though? Technically, they can drink the water, but nobody said it would be a good experience to do so

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

✅ Can drink the water.

❎ Should drink the water.

[-] vivadanang@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

random question: why are tank interiors painted white?

[-] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 29 points 9 months ago
[-] vivadanang@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

plausible....

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

better visibility, reflects what little light there is in the tank (i think)

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 44 points 9 months ago

Don’t die of spall, but die extra quick of shockwaves transmitted through water.

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Simple solution: we'll have a fishtank, but filled with air. Put it in the watertank to make the watertank mk. 2: the airwatertank tank

[-] nuke@yah.lol 23 points 9 months ago

Love it. Here's $5 billion dollars and a years supply of cocaine. I need these operational stat! Question, will more cocaine speed up or slow down the production? Fuck it, here's more cocaine.

And the British version will be able to make tea much easier.

A fish tank, if you will

Love the emotional support fish

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

Welcome to Marines. Literally.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Water doesn’t compress. The tank operators don’t need their internal organs, right?

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

Just leave the hatch open a little bit.

Throw on a few water hammer arrestors from the hardware store, problem solved.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 11 points 9 months ago

Isn't that good? It sounds like it's creating a shield? I'm pretty sure I'm right, I say ship it.

Let's not get bogged down in details, alright? We can work out the smaller kinks over time.

One bullet hits the body and the crew goes deaf.

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I'm not like an army guy, but I did get to ride around in a tank once, and based on that experience I'm in favor of this idea.

Everything was very hot inside the tank, the water will help with that a lot.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 9 months ago

Eventually the water is just gonna start getting to boiling temperature and no one will notice because of the frog thing.

[-] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 17 points 9 months ago

And you get a hot tub from all of the heat! Awesome!

I know smth about this is fucking dumb, but no clue what. The added weight? The impracticality?

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago

Air is a compressible fluid. Water is incompressible. Energy from shock waves will be transmitted from the hull to the crew in a much more efficient fashion.

Two fish are in a tank. One turns to the other and says, you man the guns and I’ll drive.

Inertia will be a bitch tho

[-] petrescatraian@libranet.de 12 points 9 months ago

As a fun fact, tanks were really called that way because the British didn't want the Germans to know what was being deployed in WW1 on the continental frontline.

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.
