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. 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.

Is there a Hitler paper cut-out behind her?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

I want to believe that's a Bomber Harris photo-spot.

ngl this would work on me, she’s cute. I hope she doesn’t mind finding out a great deal about Chance Vought

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

What, the B24 Liberator? I mean, sure, she was a super effective work horse, but I think "cute" is a little far.

I'm more of a P-38 Lightning kinda guy. But you do you.

excuse me miss, have you ever heard the tragedy of the Swoose Goose?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (4 children)

... its called the Hercules.

angrily shuffles around blueprints.

EDIT:

No joke, my grandpa was an old timer at Boeing, middle management after WW2.

He told me a story once that Howard Hughes was once settling some kind of negotiation or contract with Boeing... but refused to mail over some paperwork, and refused Boeing mailing him over their own paperwork to him

So, my grandpa was directed to go, with a briefcase with Boeing's paperwork, to a specific bathroom stall at Boeing Field, at specific time and date, whereupon him and Howard Hughes unironically did the old spy movie trope of sliding briefcases between stalls, then leaving at seperate times, never making eye contact or saying a word.

I have no way of 100% verifying whether or not this actually happened, if my grandpa was just pulling my leg as a kid... but my grandpa did really work for Boeing for most of his life, I've not known him to ever really lie about anything, and this does seem exactly like something Howard Hughes would do.

EDIT 2:

If this did actually happen, I'd imagine Hughes just literally flew himself in his own aircraft from California to Seattle with the briefcase, did the swap, and then just flew himself back.

Hughes: Fuck the Post Office, I'm faster and more reliable.

But did he get to keep a jar of Howard's urine?

[–] Slab_Bulkhead 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yes yes the Spruce Goose, i was asking about the Vultee XP-54 "Swoose Goose"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Well shit, I had never heard of this thing.

I thought you were emulating a stereotypical lispy nerd that that would push up his glasses and resettle the trilby on his head after finishing the sentence, lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

That scans as Howard Hughes possible, except for the part about him going into a public bathroom. So I'd guess, since grandpa never saw him, that Hughes sent someone to do the loo exchange

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Late stage Howard Hughes, I believe it. Always believe the grandpa.

It's only an hour drive from me, I should try that line

I wonder if this is the museum in Ohio.

[–] poleslav 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Definitely is. I have a picture of me looking through the little wood character that’s in the background of the OP, from the museum in Dayton OH

[–] ikidd 2 points 5 days ago

Somebody put a hairy snatch over your face.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

looks like it. It's massive and free if you ever pass through

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I was in the area but only for four hours. That was nowhere near enough time to do that museum. It was huge.

[–] Carmakazi 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I feel like this meta would significantly increase your chances of landing a Nazi or a future mass shooter...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nah you'll get dudes with just enough confidence to be a tour guide and just enough autism for accurate info

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In other words, husband material. Cha ching, lock it in.

You're saying you need to be autistic to be sexually attracted to ww2 planes?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I am the kind of male military history nerd that loves to just wander around museums like this for fun, have been since I was a kid.

You're not entirely wrong.

Future school shooter in a military museum?

Nah, not really. Too anti social, too shut-in. Not likely to go to a museum.

You're more likely to find them in a Nazi RP server of some kind, or RPing as cops online, doing the whole power fantasy + indoctrination from their room, never actually interacting with people in the outside world.

Nazi, right wing extremist in a military museum?

... Yeah, young male military history nerds in the US do very much tend toward being quite right wing.

Not all of them, of course, but at least for me, almost all of my friends with similar nerdy interest in military history since a young age... they're all MAGAtards now, and no longer my friends.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is a shitposting museum, the serious musing museum closed. NEA grant cut.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can't stop me!

Serious posting in shitposting communities is my hyperfixation BWaHahAhahha!
