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.

You don't fuck around with geese. This is a very credible defence.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yup. They have no fear and will fuck you up. Swans too.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 30 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They actually generally don't fuck people up themselves, most goose or swan related injuries are due to people panicking and hurting themselves.

At the end of the day, they're still birds - they have hollow bones and will come out worse from any serious confrontation with an adult human.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Finally someone with actual first hand goose fighting experience.

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, but also its illegal to kill a goose.

And I'm pretty sure someone told the geese.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Besides people panicking and hurting themselves, the only real risk a goose actually poses to an adult is if they get a cut. Those things are riddled with bacteria. Disinfect the cut and you're fine.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

Swans are terrifyingly big too. They're obviously scary like a tank. Geese seem small and harmless, like an IED.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Swans: can break a man's arm or blow up a man's house.

Why do you think the US failed to weaponise them and only got so far as Pigeons.

[–] ethaver@kbin.earth 14 points 1 month ago

Feeding the geese at the pond just outside the school cafeteria was one of the few offenses I actually agreed with being as seriously punishable as it was. Those things would occasionally injure students when they thought they were gonna get more food out of it.

You just triggered the aussies' PTSD

Emus will steal your lunch, they're not violent. The emu war would better be termed the failed emu massacre (the soldiers had trouble hitting them with machine guns as they are mostly feathers)

If you want an Aussie bird to be afraid of cassowaries have killed people. Drunk people, but I think that's only because only drunk people think it might be a good idea to fuck with the dinosaurs. A cassowary would likely win against a sober person too

That's the entire reason they invented the Air Force, to level the playing field but unfortunately we are still losing:

"240 goose–aircraft collisions in the United States each year."
