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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

This is not uncommon in areas where wolves become accustomed to scavenging human corpses - which only really happens during war or famine. I was just hearing about this in the context of early modern French wolf attacks.

Like the one where 400 wolves invaded Paris?

400 wolves invaded Paris

Do note the primary weapon of that fight was "the pointy stick", and not "152mm artillery".

[–] [email protected] 41 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The idea of using artillery against wolves is hilarious to me.

So now they've enlisted a werewolf pack... Almost feel sorry for the Russians at this point lol.

There was an episode of Love, Death and Robots about this, I think

The suspiciously well-fed dogs of Bakhmut have evolved

That is a scary thought, that wolves are adapting to warfare conditions and are learning the battlefield.

If wolves in the region start seeing humans as a food source, I doubt they would take on a whole battalion, but Injuries on the battlefield will be that much more dangerous.

As hunter packs see any weakness as an exploit for food.

Wolves adapting to humans is how we got dogs. Maybe we'll get something even cooler this time. (Though that would be hard because dogs are pretty damn cool.)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

African dogs adapting to hunt beside humans is how we got dogs.

Wolves hunting humans is how you get man eating wolves.

I read 'large wolf pack from Ukraine' and instantly thought 'who gave Ukraine a bunch of submarines'?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Same here I was like FINALLY

"Carrion"
FFS, they were people, and your own soldiers Russia.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

This is likely automatic translation, but I would guess that there was nothing respectful in the first place

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Well, it's simple really...

  1. there are no fallen russians in ba sing se
  2. following from 1) they must all be Ukrainians and thus must not be paid respect even in death

3,000 blood thirsty wolf packs of Kyiv

Where are the patriotic Ukrainian beavers in that picture?

Wolf-goat-cabbage problem. You gotta keep 'em separated.

Thanks for the earworm

It’s rabbit-fox-cabbage here. All around the world things are different but still the same

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

"River crossing puzzle" is apparently the generic term.

And it's at least thirteen centuries old.

And it maps to the vertex cover problem, so it's NP-complete? Wow, okay. All around the world we're doing computer science by accident.

it's fox, goose and bag of grain over here

What do all the drawings represent?

The turtle is a refference to the trench turtle, who just kinda chilled out in a Ukrainian trench for a bit becoming a well known figure and meme in the Ukrainian telegram channels.

I assume the others are similar references, perhaps the cat ears have to do with the provenance of anime iconography used by the Ukrainians (cat-girl army) but I really couldn't speak to the rest

The shark is from the sinking of the Moscow I believe, implying sharks ate the sailors aboard.

What the flork do you mean?

If only there was a breed of dog that we could use to control the wolf population. Maybe something in the hound category, native to the country in need. Some sort of Russian wolf hound.

Beast of Gevaudan, please call your office.

I read this news a couple days ago, and was wondering how soon the wolf would get his cap! Very pleased.
