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.

I saw this post, and happened to be at work so I made it.

Edit: seems like some apps aren't displaying the picture, might have to open in a browser.

You nailed it, but you're missing one, supercritical piece.

Haha I am, and I might remake them to hold a ball bearing or something later.

The Demon Core, now available at IKEA

Core Demon, a new fragrance from L’Alamos

Am I the only one who thought this was a uranium core until you spot the fondue poker?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's exactly what I saw. I thought the fork was just propping it open to prevent a nuclear reaction.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's a reference to the demon core, which was similarly propped open like that with a screwdriver.

Here's a nice Kyle Hill video about the topic.

That's what I was thinking of, couldn't remember the name while I ordered Jack in the Box

"Now available from Hasbro™, the Demon Core Playset! For the first time, now you too can experience the thrill of needlessly edging the most destructive force ever devised by humankind to the brink of supercriticality using nothing more than your own hands and a flathead screwdriver! (For... reasons!) Perfect for proving exactly who has the biggest balls in the room! Right up until you fry them off and give everyone in the vicinity Super Mega Turbo Cancer, of course! (Well, the lucky ones who manage to survive, at any rate 😁)"

Fr tho, these people were well-educated physicists with access to some of the most cutting-edge technology/equipment available at the time, who knew they were fucking around with what is probably the most powerful destructive force humanity has ever encountered/created in our known history... Less than a kilogram of the material in the bomb dropped on Hiroshima actually achieved fission, and yet that was clearly still more than powerful enough to cause death and destruction on a scale previously unimaginable - particularly for a single weapon.

And these guys then have the bright idea to basically flip a salad bowl over on top of it and manually try to maintain an aperture (with the help of a flathead screwdriver tip - for safety reasons, obviously) that is as small as possible in order to see just how close they can get it to the point of no return, ya know, just for funsies? Because humans are notoriously good at never making any sort of mistakes, right?

I can only assume this was their last resort after the excitement of auto-erotic asphyxiation via popping the hatch of the command module open while in orbit wore off.

They melted it down before we started going to space.

I like that out of all that, this is the part that you took issue with 😂🤣

Though, I might counter that with the fact that we've conducted at least rudimentary low-earth orbit reconnaissance flights since the end of WWII/the beginnings of the Cold War with the U2 and (later) SR-71s... So, while my phrasing may have been off, I still feel as if there arguments to be made in favor of there being sufficient vacuum at their operational ceiling(s) to allow for a little extreme breathplay, if you will.

The fondue overheats in a hurry if you close the lid.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Does it kill everyone in the room within weeks?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Only if you leave it closed too long.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Depends exactly how far away they are from it.

Close, the Demon core was plutonium

damn canadians about to invent new warcrimes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not like we don't have a rich tradition of doing that....

ITT: people not getting that they get the joke.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I have one at home, when I take a picture the camera becomes all noisy though

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It actually splits the room apart, as it clashes with the larger room pieces.

This clearly follows the decorating philosophy of fissiong shui, not fusiong shui.
