    This is more of a catapult. A vastly inferior siege engine.

    Excuse me, the meme very clearly specifies it is a form of ballista since it works off of bent spring power

    The meme is fucking wrong.

    Catapults and ballistas are different, not because of how they store the energy, but how the throw the projectile. A catapult throws it off a holder and a ballista shoots in down a track.

    It's a goddamn catapult. I will not tolerate factual inaccuracy for the sake of a funny meme.

    I'm using Sync, and in Sync you can click on a post and then click on the bar at the top of the post that says which sublemmy/community and instance it's from. From there you can see other posts in that community, subscribe, etc. I've never used lemmy from a browser.
