Seems like overkill when a pit with sharp rusty sticks would work just fine.

I ought to vaporize your genitals for that comment. How do you have the opportunity of a lifetime to build the BRRRT-trap and you don't take it???

Too cheap for the weapon industry to make money on. If they could make nuclear mines, they would!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock

One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water. They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine's components at a working temperature. This proposal was sufficiently outlandish that it was taken as an April Fool's Day joke when the Blue Peacock file was declassified on 1 April 2004. Tom O'Leary, head of education and interpretation at the National Archives, replied to the media that, "It does seem like an April Fool but it most certainly is not. The Civil Service does not do jokes."

I was just beginning to feel that nothing could really impress me any more.. and then this...

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

They had BFSkinner explore training pigeon-guided missiles. I for one don't consider anything too outlandish after that.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Still better conditions for the chickens than at your standard factory farm 🤷

Installation: place GAU-8/A upright on ground, pull trigger until desired depth.

[-] notannpc@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Dawg. What. Was this actually deployed during the Vietnam war? Or just a concept? I’ve read about all kinds of wild traps but a buried 30mm is some next level shit.

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

Absolutely! Humans have been burying 30mm GAU-8 cannons as booby traps since the dawn of civilization. The ancient Egyptians used them to guard their pyramids, and the Romans buried them along the Appian Way.

Oh yes, the raids to steal GAU-8's were pretty legendary, imagine lugging one of those over jungle paths.

They had to manually power the traps lot of the time, basically a guy with a hand crank in a tunnel right next to it

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. 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.
