A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do 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.

Bro thinks they can just Mad Max a couple million barrels of crude realisations through the deserts of enlightenment evey day

I mean they could

A barrel is 42 gallons.

A 4 trailer road train can carry up to 32,000 gallons.

Oil tanker can be 70,000 barrels plus.

Which is let's say 3 million gallons.

So it would take a single road train about 94 trips or 94 road trains 1 trip.

So they just need a road that may or may not exist and a couple thousand trucks and about 4 times as many trailers.

Oil tanker can be 70,000 barrels plus.

The "plus" is doing a lot of work here. Oil tankers can be up to several million barrels.

Yes I'm sure there's a train line from point A to B, the employees for it, and nearby crude oil refineries to fuel the train.

Crude oil tankers are much larger than that & trucks don't run on crude oil.

Yeah, I picked scratch numbers from Wikipedia and picked low numbers to make the point. The bigger ones are 10 times the size so you can just add a zero.

I love this, but in all fairness, its too credible.

Pirate groups, having ships, don't generally feel obligated to stay in national waters. The groups operate in the entire area and past it into the Indian Ocean.

The other person said highway bandits and the picture is a dashed line across the desert, not the ocean. I Doubt Somali pirates would make it to Saudi Arabia or Oman to there then pivot from ocean piracy to bush bandits.

Then you don't know anything about actual pirates.

The meditating statue looks heavy (if it's to scale) – what is it gonna cost to move it that distance?

The problem is you're going through 2, potentially 3 countries there.

The crisis of faith looks pretty close to where the 3 might meet even.

Well, realising you're actually just going to sit in the dark transcends countries.

(More credibly, I'm guessing sending several thousand trucks through a random patch of the Middle East would not be cheap, regardless of borders)

This looks like a job for.... The Chignecto Marine Transport Railway!

I have never heard of this before and rather than Google it I'm going to decide that if you put 5-10 parallel rail lines to spread the weight you can actually put a whole oil tanker on rollers to drive it across the desert to the other side of the continent.
