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.

To their credit, they did in fact make a pretty great truck

Only thing that could serve better as a technical would be one of those blocky volvos from the 80's and 90's, if they had a pickup version and bigger wheels.

A redblock Volvo 240 technical would be fucking indestructible.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Those Volvo 240 are explicitly prohibited as technicals by the Geneva Convention.

When Top Gear chained the thing down to go through a cycle of the tides in the fucking North Atlantic and their mechanics could restart the thing on the fucking beach...

That's when I became a believer.

The anti-aircraft add-on really gives a lot of bang for the buck

Ah fuck this brings up memories, we had a hylux that we shared in the company that was mostly used for bringing people to and from the flightline. Since it was a manual, I was one of the ones that could drive it. I loved cruising along the runway at night, listening to the one radio station with the windows down as helicopters and planes were taking off and landing. I loved that truck.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I drove one of these as a teenager, it was great.

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

technicals based on these were some of my favorite vehicles to drive around in GTA Online, before they banned all linux users for no reason

Chad wins wars with this stuff

Is that the one Marty got at the end of BTTF? Although I think his truck looked more square-ish.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Older one but yeah
