Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

Still needs some design corrections because I just didn't know how to properly do 3D print and industrial design but it works!

This looks so cool! Like the nuclear launch suitcase XD

The nuclear football is not a computer.

It contains the codes and procedures to order a strike, but it is not a computer.

According to sources from within the white house, in the 1980s it contained four items:

  • A black book of retaliatory options
  • A book listing classified site locations
  • A manilla folder with eight or ten pages staples together giving a discription of the procedures for the Emergency Alert System
  • A card with authentication codes

There is a small antenna protruding near the handle of the briefcase, which some believe means that there is communications equipment inside the case as well.

.....

I mean, yeah, the computer looks really cool!
