I don't think that's actually real.

Also a fun fact: Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now. They're launching then from Soviet land-based anti-aircraft vehicles somehow.

Raytheon, I don't think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.

For every person you kill we plant a tree. It's both good for the environment and a very visible kill count.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You could argue that just killing people is statistically good for the planet.

And if it takes out a plane, that's pretty effective, too!

Hey capitalism, how's it going?

What, does it only target LearJet and Gulfstream private aircraft?

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I'd be okay with that. How do we implement that?

You can read this in Robert Evans' voice and it's just as sarcastic as anything he's said about them

To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.

I wouldn't be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (4 children)

A nuke destroys whole ecosystems...

Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it's completely uninhabitable by humans...

[–] RisingSwell 11 points 9 months ago

Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.

So do we... at least the nuke stops killing new things after a bit.

I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Ah! Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(

[–] Raxiel 16 points 9 months ago

But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!

I hate that this isn't a meme.

Ed: lolol 300+ mindless upvotes and the poster is the sub mod. Awesome.

Why do communities exist if people are going to dump everything in one place and are rewarded for doing so?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's a meme insofar as the definition of

an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.

Information is one of the elements. This is information and it is being passed around by non genetic means.

If you're going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Well weapons are going to be made and used anyway, it's better if they're environmentally friendlier I suppose

`Frank, the new CEO had to answer to the board.

The board was getting anxious, and the shareholders were

on a bed, legs in air, ass-cheeks open wide

They were about to get fucked like it was their first time.

When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose.

What keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun?

Dan, the company man, felt loyalty to the corp.

After 16 years of service, and a family to support

He actually started to believe

the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense.

'Cause Danny had a mortgage, and a boss to answer to.

The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to.

Helen is living in her car, trying to feed her kids.

She got laid off at work, and her house was repossessed.

It's hard to think clearly when it's 38 degrees.

Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.

But when she shot that family and moved into their home,

The paper read she suffered from dementia.`
