Some zoomer out there realized they didn't want to be vaporized by an Iranian cruise missile and jammed some towels down the hatch. Smart move

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago (4 children)

The CIA sabotage handbook actually recommends tennis balls for that.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Sewage is stored in the tennis balls

[–] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

Sure, but who do you think wrote that thing. I'd bet dollars to donuts it was the CIA.

all shit some of their pants, but some shit all of their pants

iranians about to find out why we don't have healthcare 😤

Americans invading Iran shocked to witness working toilets for the first time

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, of COURSE they have to go in to fix their one-off, never before implemented or repaired plumbing system.

They couldn't just let commodes flush the way they have since the days of yore, and use gravity. Instead, some dumbass decided the poop equivalent of the banking tube system was what a ship carrying nearly five thousand assholes (literal and figurative) needed to implement. For a first go at it.

They literally tried to adapt cruise ship lavatories to save money and it will end up costing them so much more fucking money now

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

Tbf 5k people just shitting and pissing straight into the ocean is an environmental catastrophe

Like the USMIC is obviously an environmental catastrophe but this would make it incrementally worse

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Absolutely. It's all bespoke. I was aware they tried copying cruise ship lines, but for Uncle Sam it's the first implementation.

By using a specialty plumbing system they have ensured: parts will never be cheap, or readily available. Because the USG only fucks with 100% domestic origin goods, those parts are on a short list of availability. Because they are likely bespoke, the list is even shorter. They won't be sourcing from the same established vendors the cruise industry sources from unless somehow the entire supply chain is US supplied.

The USG doesn't have their own turd wranglers, so now they have to find overseas turd wranglers that can be approved to venture onto an active military ship, to fix the fuckin john. Or they keep it American, and fly in turd wranglers to fix the fucking john who specialize in cruise-line style waste evacuation systems.

I've done a contract working on a cruise ship and I can tell you even the ones there are a pain in the ass for maintenance. Making your own from scratch is an awful idea.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Interesting, I guess this is how they end up with $10000 toilet seats or whatever the meme complaint was

[–] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

It does work out well for the military contractors

The military toilet version of a 2000s BMW oil change

Critical support to irritable bowel syndrome in its endless defense of oppressed peoples.

My worst IBS issues were during deployment, stress will do that to you. Having to worry about if you'll make it to the shitter in time.

US soldiers hanging ass off the flight deck over the ocean to drop a dookie

Praying for a leaked conversation between a sailor and his commanding officer after he was fished out of the sea with no pants because he tried to avoid the bathroom lines

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Oh that sailor is drowning for sure

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Woke ended this hallowed tradition

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

Men in the army used to be able to shit into the ocean from the deck, but not now, because of WOKE.

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

UH, IS THE POOP DECK REALLY WHAT I THINK IT IS?

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

good thing the pentagon has never been audited. increase that budget by $1 trillion and still nothing works right. The US military isnt prepared for a real conflict. Good.

I feel like spiritually you're playing dumb games to attack a Muslim nation during Ramadan and I'm frankly surprised it's only broken toilets

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Doing the pee pee dance in my sailor hat.

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Sorry Mr. President, war's canceled. The Ford is too busy using it's flight deck as a temporary poop deck.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 2 days ago

Aren't they... on water? Surprised the US MIC cares about the environment enough to not just flush it to the sea

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 14 points 2 days ago

Real warriors hold it for the duration of the war!

Dumbfuck Pete, probably

[–] robotElder2@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

You have a whole deck for that!

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Its like that uboat that sunk because someone flushed the toilet wrong

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Kinda funny that the invasion of Iran has been put off due to a literal interpretation of "what makes it the poop deck?"

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 7 points 2 days ago

Chuck off the side with the planes

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

So good that the pipes are too small on this ... dual nuke plant ship.

[–] Test_Tickles@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

The USS Gerald Ford is now equipped with stink ray torpedos

[–] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

poop cruise 2.0 lets-fucking-go

Why don't they just go to the poop deck... are they stupid?

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

It's a ship, just poop off the side. RETVRN!

[–] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

even a broken toilet is right twice a day...
