I'd comment lots on reddit, but rarely post. On Lemmy, I post! Even started a community!

Mmmmm remember that time Elon offered 1m dogecoin to whoever could prove he owned an emerald mine? And then his dad was all like "can I play too I have the paperwork here!". Elon tries not to.
Great shot!
First of all, thank you for the content you've been posting on /c/WarplanePorn, you've been helpful in getting that ball rolling and I'll do what I can to help you out here - my OC warship content is really lacking right now, but I know what you're looking for. Also, if it's alright with you I'll link your community in WPP's sidebar, since our userbase probably has some overlap.
Now, my thoughts on getting started on Lemmy: it's going to be slow. Obviously it's smaller than that other site, but it's also lacking karma or any account based score (for now?). This means there will be less farmers & bots trying to build up a score to sell an account to advertisers, and for all their flaws, those bots (re)post content to milporn communities like, well, like bots. Passion is the key - as long as you can keep that (and not burn yourself out), the community will grow, and other passionate people will start adding content too!

I need to get better at naming these posts.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting!
Complete with gun pods, GBUs and nose art, on a dirt runway.
Built in 1946, it reached a speed of 720km/h at 45,000ft and was one of the fastest prop powered planes ever built. It was made redundant by mass produced high altitude bombers, such as the B-36, and the arrival of the jet engine. Sexy silver cigar.
Do take what I say with a grain of salt, but my late night napkin math says that (assuming a now rectangular human that's 16 inches wide and 72 inches tall) a person should have a frontal surface area of 1100 inches, under 6000psi, that'd be about 6,800,000 pounds of pressure on them - instant death.
These are styrofoam cups that've been crushed by the pressure at the bottom of the ocean. The water isn't looking for your nose, it'd just crush your outsides into your insides until you hit a relative density, like the cup, but not as pretty. The air in your lungs would instantly compress and heat to several thousand degrees C, turning your insides back into your outsides. I think.
Letting the days go by!
Let the water all dry up
Letting the days go by!
Water flowing underground?!
Into the alfalfa, until the money's gone
Once in a lifetime! Lake Mead's looking more like ground.
