Yeah, I just thought it was funny how much the GlobalEye looks like a passable AI photo of a military surveillance airplane that clearly doesn’t exist.
I am not even bashing the GlobalEye… it just gives me strong “AI image slop” vibes.
My eyes see this and immediately tell my brain I am looking at an optical illusion or AI image.
This meme hits like a laser guided munition.
Yeah but there is direct line of sight between the cannons and the highway, I imagine at that swiss rifle range the road is dug in so that you couldn’t physically send a bullet at a vehicle by accident. Not so here with the 155mm M777s, though I imagine they were set to fire much farther (hopefully?!) that doesn’t mean you couldn’t draw a valid ballistic arc straight from a cannon to the highway especially when you consider the possibility of a malfunction or operator error on loading charges.
The issue is less a shell detonated at the wrong time and more that they fired a seriously large shell over a public highway for no good reason.
I wouldn’t target shoot with a high caliber rifle in the direction of the highway from that location let alone shoot the largest caliber artillery cannon the US military uses in land operations, it violates basic muzzle control logic at a disturbingly basic level with a huge munition.
I am sure there are cases where you might see artillery firing in a way that isn’t actually dangerous that might look dangerous to a non-expert. This isn’t one of them.
See this video of a direct fire exercise to see a similar situation where shells are landing at about the range the highway is away from the cannon in the above video.

Beat me to it! thank you!
By sending these to the bottom of the ocean for coral to grow on now they are fighting climate change and habitat loss, a better use than anything Trump knows to do with them.
Also, if the US had lost as many navy aircraft to actual enemy combatants this would be triggering a mass defense industry fueled panic about being disastorously unequipped to perform basic functions but since it is a direct product of incompetence, the empty american flag brandishing rightwing defense people don’t even perceive it.
I guess in a way it is uncomfortable for them to think about because it must remind them of how they are unable to truthfully grapple with their own desperate incompetence born from a desire to violently force a childlike ideology onto the world.
Yeah, this is an embarassment and betrayal of anyone who has ever fought to protect the US out of a genuine desire born from integrity.
It is a slap to the face, and a sloppy one at that.
auto correct can suck Bopha! Deize Tigrona Nutsedge
What the hell kind of answer is that?
Maybe just type in English like a human instead of making me guess what you’re trying to say
no u
First of, how little do you have going on to find time being upset at people spelling correctly?
I find it slightly but not overly insulting you think the nuance of language is not consequential. What are we doing here then?
I am not upset at any one particular person at any one point, I am upset at a trend.
Na, fuck everyone using autocorrect these days, it makes text conversations so stilted, hard to read and passive aggressive feeling.
We threw away emotional nuance in texting because of the people who just find it annoying not to text in proper english.
Slang and abbreviations are expressions of context and familiarity which are necessary for conversation that isn’t purely transactionary in nature.
My point is about the conceptual framing of a ladder leading to a narrow frame of view about evolution, not that this particular meme is portraying itself literally as an evolutionary ladder.
There is no progression up a ladder in evolution, not towards sophistication nor complexity.
Every single species alive on earth comes from a genetic lineage precisely as old and thus “evolved” as we do. Species can shed complexity and capabilities from evolutionary pressures just as much they can gain them.
I know this is a meme but framings subconciously slip into our ways of thinking like this very easily.
Video games, especially ones that fully engage and inspire you, are utterly unlike mindlessly scrolling on your phone for your brain.
They could not be more different experiences!
It is more fruitful to compare videogames to reading a book mixed with the mental challenge of a boardgame or sport.
Don’t take my word for it.
