Cannon prices skyrocket as [email protected] users scramble to own one.

The canon market is a volatile one

It won’t work with third party ammunition.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s Ammunition-As-A-Service.

[–] jaybone 2 points 1 month ago

It only takes Canon balls.

How’s that fancy collision avoidance now?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This reminds me of a stupid joke:

"Oh, my car's been flattened by a big stone, you know one of those massive, round stones?"

"Boulder?"

"MY CAR'S BEEN FLATTENED..."

You had an opportunity to actually make the text bold, and you missed it.

[–] jaybone 3 points 1 month ago

It’s also awkwardly worded. You would say “a boulder?”

Though that leaves the door open to repeat the first line and put the letter a in bold. Which might actually be funnier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I concede, but the joke is supposed to be told verbally so I'm happy with my choice.

[–] ZoopZeZoop 1 points 1 month ago

I support you and your jokes. Party on, dude!

We have to know what brand of camera you used to shoot this one !

[–] setsneedtofeed 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just a phone camera. A little older. I keep the lens clean and take about a 1000 pictures and pick out the best few

Oh it wasn’t a serious question. I hoped you would answer “Canon” for the joke

"You can't park there..."

[–] RizzRustbolt 3 points 1 month ago

Brass cannon?

[–] Num10ck 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

how did those old cannons not tear apart their janky carriages? how did they not fly off the back?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I’d imagine it looked less janky and more sturdy when it was new.

See the screws? That's carbon-reinforced iron right there!

[–] jaybone 1 points 1 month ago

That giant ass vertical screw in the back looks pretty solid. If there’s a similar one in the front I’d think this thing is good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Its on wheels in part so the recoil rolls it backwards.

I'm not 100% sure but it also looks like a fairly modern canon, modernity being the period from 16th to early 20th C
