dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

If I was in the military's brain trust, I'd suggest the next logical step: a floating parking garage.

A bunch of tanks trying to deploy from a amphibious carrier, but they're stuck because one guy can't figure out how to pay his ticket.

thats basically already what they are, most aircraft carriers have at least one other level on the inside where aircraft are stored and maintained, and there is usually a big paved elevator platform to move aircraft between the flight deck and the interior hangars

he's not wrong

Interesting take, considering the first ships converted to be aircraft carriers were done by the British, and the first ships purpose-built to be aircraft carriers were built by Japan…

The Panama hat is from Ecuador

[–] jaspersgroove@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The name Ecuador Hat was already taken, presumably by a prog rock band with an aggressive legal team.

They got the idea when Houston wanted to gain independence from the US by digging a moat around it and escape into sea

Actually it's because you'd otherwise not be able to have any air support over most of the ocean.

hmm now why might a country like america need a bunch of air support so far from its borders all the time? most other countries seem to get along fine with only one or two carriers or none at all...

But that war ended a long, long time ago. And they kept building aircraft carriers. Why would Americans do this?
