Toyota should add "can become a mini-nuke" to their sales pitch. I'm sure they'll get at least half of NCD with that alone.

It was not a nuclear explosion, that would be insane. Pure hydrogen is highly explosive, which is why it's suitable for a combustion vehicle like the Mirai.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

Mirai isn't a combustion vehicle, it has a fuel cell that generates electricity via a chemical reaction.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

That is true in the case of the mirai, but hydrogen can also be used in combustion engines, though at a much lower efficiency.

At first I thought it was NCD memery, e.g. “Ukrainian soldiers cobble together a nuke from a car they find lying around” so imagine my surprise when I see it’s a real headline. Even though “hydrogen bomb” is technically correct, it certainly made me do a double take. I wonder if that choice of words was intentional.

First, I didn't see that it was coming from NCD, and I thought it was a real news. I was really confused.

Then, I realized how much of a fool I was when I saw it was from NCD.

But then I saw it was actually in the URL of the linked article and I was CONFUSED AGAIN.

Finally a use for the Mirai. God knows it wasn't much of a vehicle.

Funny that Mirai mean Future, so this is the future of warfare, drone and hydrogen car lol

Where the FUCK did they find a Toyota Mirai sitting around?? One of the newest cars that literally only exists on 1 state in the US... is sitting around in Ukraine?? Do they even have hydrogen infrastructure or is this just a way to skirt Geneva Convention?

Man, what a top quality dumbass. Those vehicles are practically worthless, due to having a running cost multiple times that of an F-150, if you can find the fuel.

And why would the Geneva convention have anything to say about this?

it's a frontend for X without the ads and without the need of an account to access the tweet and the comments. you can replace xcancel.com (the domain part of the url) with x.com if you prefer

Thanks! This is my first time seeing it.

What up with Toyota trucks and war

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They're relatively cheap, transport a fair amount of people/goods, and, according to Top Gear, absolutely unkillable.

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Also, they are seen as more reliable, requiring fewer repairs.

Looks like the Hilux has some competition

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.
