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.

I just watched dragon ball again. They have houses that fit into a capsule, but still call each other on a land line 💀
Old sci-fi also has computers with relais, like the computer clicking in Aliens when it's thinking. People giving each other their iPad in Star Trek is still pretty amusing to me. Some books still describe punch cards and tapes in space ships. Hell, in Rebel Moon they were shoveling coal to power their space ship.
My suspension of disbelief says the PADDs are because of information security. They can afford for everyone to have 20 PADDs so they're all coded to only have one document until wiped by the central computer or engineering
But if the landline is in the capsule, it still is technically a cell phone unless they attach it to the phone company's lines, it's just a cell phone that happens to be tethered to your house.
Maybe they realized being instantly reachable by anyone everywhere you go kinda sucks actually and cellphones fell by the wayside in favor of "retro" style tethered-to-capsule phones, and Akira Toryiama just never mentioned it?
They do call wirelessly, but pick up on a tethered phone at master Roshi's
So no video calling, and they showed a picture of the time machine by faxing it over
Sure and I don't see one damn pole or wire out to that pervert's island, so while it is tethered to his house, consider that his capsule, it has to go wireless at some point. Maybe it's a sat phone?
Maybe Roshi's internet is too dogshit to stream? He is on a mound that barely qualifies as an island.
