So we're just ignoring the fact that the EU apparently has an absolutely jacked left arm?

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.

It's the biggest of the 3.
Ah, so this is the big stick I've heard so much about.
"We are equal -- let's walk side-by-side!"
So I believe that this would work fine when the middle person is being suspended, but I don't think the physics work out when you're dangling someone at the end.
The person at the other end would need to be working their ass off to keep them from falling, the person in the middle would just be a fulcrum basically and wouldn't be able to help much at all as the log spun in their hands.
It would probably work with more than three people. I think it's dicey with three, I think that if they all hold on they would all be going in the hole.
I guess it would also depend on how long the log is. I think it might work with a log longer than the one in the image. I think the one in the image is too short to get sufficient leverage.
The person in the middle would be supporting twice the weight of the person over the hole, and they would have to do it twice.
The person over the hole and the person not over the hole just has to hang on.
When the middle person is over the hole, the people at each end support half the weight of the person over the hole.
The length of the pole doesn't matter, as long as the person in the middle is in the middle of the pole and that the pole is more than twice the length of the hole.
If the pole was significantly long enough, then the force on the middle person could be reduced significantly, but it will always be more than the weight of 1 person.
True, you can tell I'm not very good at math.
So when someone is dangling the person in the middle will experience the weight of both of the other people, and the person at the other end will experience the entire bodyweight of the person dangling as upwards force on the log that they will have to hold onto. So if the two people on the ends weigh the same, does the the person at the other end get lifted off the ground by the weight of the dangling person; assuming the middle person is strong enough to hold them both up?
I guess what happens practically is that the person in the middle collapses onto the ground and the log gets torn out of the hands of the person at the other end and the dangler goes into the pit?
we need a longer pole
Why does it look like Canada's contemplating it? Lol
Have you met their neighbors?
Ahh the most non-credible of all the defenses.
"We just need to fill the hole with viet cong first."
