"Hey, we're sending you guys to the moon. You have six months. Prepare."

Launches rocket fleet directly into the sun.

It takes more fuel to fire them into the sun, than deep space. It's counterintuitive, but you have to shed a lot of velocity to "fall in," but only expend a fraction as much to hit escape velocity, as you're already going quite fast.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Nah. Just load them all up on the same day, same time, and just detonate. Save on fuel and greenhouse gases.

Well damn, now I want this on my wall as poster.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Found it while I was looking for wall art and this one didn't make the cut because my partner didn't like the usage of the word yeet 😩

Ooh, I like it! I hope you're able to save up for it quickly and easily. :)

Oh my goodness, now you've got me looking, and there's so many cool Soviet propaganda style posters. Did you see these great Soviet propaganda style posters with cats!? I love them so much.

Yasss they are so dope, i really wanted to get the defeat the fascists snake one, but my partner is deathly afraid of snakes and didnt want it in our bedroom lol.

"All cats are beautiful" is a nice one, those are all nice, really

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, agreed! That was definitely one of my favorites. The one where the cats are bakers kneading bread and are in a union is another favorite of mine.

Eh, that's a lot of delta-V that could be used for more useful stuff.

Trebuchets can also yeet fatcats

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's an adjective?

The distinction between a noun modified by an adjective or noun adjunct and a simple compound noun in English is not well defined. You can absolutely call space an adjective in this case.

Pic from the near future where communist colonies are fighting with Elon Musk's Liberty Colony 4 for control of the moon.

Don’t get me wrong; I like the idea, but this is AI generated art trying to pass itself off as human-made.

Even if the artist used AI to assist with the work, it’s pretty sloppy. Look at the teeth, the angle of the background rockets, the weird spaceship on the lapel. At least make it look good if you’re using AI.

Edit: fucking Yogscast ass font

Yeet? No. Eat. Yes. We reduce pollution and world hunger at the same time!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Trebuchets require no permits to own or operate, are environmentally friendly, and can yeet the fattest of fat cats over 100m. That should be sufficient.

I like the way you think.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I, for one, would prefer a peaceful solution. And so do lots of my comrades.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If a peaceful solution doesn't work, then can we eat them?

Or you could "make America great again", going back to the 50s and 60s when the top marginal tax rate was 90%.

That's what all the red hats are for, right?

Jacked this one from an AI creator on Etsy

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Please don't buy prints of AI art.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Didn't realize it was AI when i first linked it and now I'm convinced it is, will remove the link.

Trebuchets are cleaner for the environment, and can still yeet the rich far enough to be effective.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

I really like that design. But realistically a socialist society would be better off if you integrated the rich into the middle class and forced them into service to society.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not that I care what they want, but I think most would prefer to be yeeted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

All the more reasons not to

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Lol this guy thinks a socialist society should have a middle class. Realistically they’re a goddamn moron.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

include in this list all the ruling party politicians for the last 50 years. let them experience the mean of what they were able to achieve

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

You guys do know they're planning to send us all out to colonize moons and planets while they enjoy Earth without us?

Joker voice It's all. part. of the plan.

"AI" trash. Get that shit outta here.
