Instead of cursing the piece of shit flophouse planecopter that killed her husband she doubles down and becomes the osprey defender herself.

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

Sign of a pretty strong relationship tbh. Probably shouldn't have gotten on an Osprey if they wanted to keep that going.

I still kind of wonder if it's just one of the longest bits ever

Become known enough as a defender of the thing, then pretend to die and be the spouse that takes the account over

holy shit this might actually be the funniest fucking thing to happen all year

look at this comment chain https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/186s1kc/at_least_one_dead_as_us_osprey_aircraft_crashes/kbp9dr0/?context=3

Lol it's fail rate is x2 as bad as the black hawks and x6-x12 as bad as the cargo planes, but they deliberately rank by fatalities instead. When a cargo plane crashes, almost a hundred people die. When a V-22 crashes, less than a dozen die. Ergo it's roughly as safe as a cargo jet.

A more honest rate would multiple flight hours by number of personnel on each flight. If you get on a V-22 you're chance of dying skyrockets compared to being on a C-130.

edit: found a nerd who points this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helicopters/comments/18cre08/comment/kcd6zsb

If I'm ever killed in a tragic Communism accident, I hope that my wife will pick up my Hexbear account and double down on how awesome Communism is.

buried under an avalanche of lenin's collected works in hardcover...

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

55 books around 25-30 kg, so it would be pretty hard to be buried under them. And English edition is smaller since afaik it's based on earlier Soviet one, and they grown by the edition since more documents were found.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

this is sizeism, what if i'm a nac mac feegle?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Due to their compression, you would barely even feel it and could undig yourself immediately.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Being such a hardcore ML that I consider moving Comrade Lenin's writings to be a form of revisionism, I accept my fate.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Giant family Bible but it's all the collected works of lenin

[-] star_wraith@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Collected works of Lenin PLUS the 50 or so books in the Marx Engels Collected Works all in one HUGE book!

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's 39 books, and don't forget collected Stalin works, he got them too, albeit only 13 books. Adding to Lenin that's 107 books, 450+ pages per book on average

I haven't been on Reddit in some time, but the urge to create an I_WAS_WRONG_ABOUT_V22 account is real

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

[-] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

Get in the fucking V-22shinji-screm

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

maybe he should have spent more time reading the manual and less time raging out on Reddit about TrueAnon posters mocking the V22 and he'd still be alive lmao

[-] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It really is the Stalingrad of people having bad opinions.

It's just too on the nose. If it's real, it's legit one of the funniest terminally online moments of all time.

I choose to believe it's real.

I guess you could say HE_WAS_WRONG_ABOUT_V22

[-] ICEMAN@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

I remember arguing with him! He should have lisened to me.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

That account had to be someone from Boeing or paid by the US military to post, we know Reddit is full of astroturf fedposting

Good timing after I made fun of this toyetic death machine yesterday too

Absolutely. Russian Roulette advocate killed in tragic and completely unforseen Russian Roulette accident

[-] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

VTOLs won't be cool until they have jet thrusters instead of propellers

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago
[-] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

lol let me re-phrase: its not a really cool sci-fi VTOL without 2 or more crazy jet-thrusters rotating on wing/struts

obviously the MIG-21 is the apex of fixed wing aircraft design (until we start putting robot legs on jets at least) and these western designs are techno-heresy.
