      I’m not going to drive a trebuchet to my kids’ school to pick them up.

        Obviously you are meant to place trebuchets along the route and be shot from one to the next. With exact timing you could even use another trebuchet to slow you down each time.

        Of course not, that would be silly. You can just launch your kid into the school with a trebuchet and avoid rush hour traffic!

          The return trip is more tricky though. Maybe launch a trebuchet for the return trip?

      Wouldn’t the Abrams run out of fuel (not to mention ammo) before it could take out all those trebuchets.

        It could just run them over. Fuel probably depends on how far apart your place the trebuchets.

          If you’re close enough to drive through them, you might as well just swing by the camp of personnel operating them and supplying ammo.

        I think it would be most effective to drive over the trebuchets with the tank. Simply roll over a wheel or support, and the launcher will be misaligned and unable to fire. Tanks are mobile, and trebuchets are not.

          trebuchets are not

          We can modernize a little. Let’s slap an e-bike on it and get that thing moving!

      For sure, the unit cap impact alone sells the abrams.

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.
