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.

You know how mining is largely done with explosives these days? There is a timeline in which the same happened with logging. Imagine lumberjacks lugging around pounds and pounds of c4, retreating to a safe bunker a mile away, and clearing a whole forest at once
Given how dangerous felling trees can be, I'm surprised this isn't more common.
I imagine this method produces a metric fuckton of unusable waste lumber.
True but the thought alone is enough to give me wood.
You're surprised that blowing trees up is probably a less safe and convenient way to fell them than using a chainsaw?
See, the thing about explosives is you can set them off from a long way away.
Which is terrific because it'll get you out of the range of all the wooden shrapnel that the tree-turned-frag-bomb is going to be throwing around. Guess what projectiles mean? Exclusion zones, baby! I sure do hope you love calculating and drawing those on maps, you'll be doing a lot of it. And don't think you can just draw it and not cordon it somehow, nu-uh.
Apart from the extremely time-consuming nature of explosives work (because splody shit is dangerous), the waste of a lot of wood per tree, and the cost of all of this, it's definitely a very convenient method. Would be super fun though, if not for all the zone-drawing bullshit and safety-schmafety
