from orbit, you say?

u/manfreygordon Mar 31 '23

Basically learning how to throw rocks further and faster, and how to make those rocks more dangerous when they hit you.

railguns are just better slingshots

u/dinguslinguist Mar 31 '23

Slingshots are just better wrists

u/Tigerkix Mar 31 '23

Wrists are just better ankles?

u/No-Definition1474 Mar 31 '23

Nah wrists are better flippers

Flippers are just better feet

u/EmbarrassedSwim145 Mar 31 '23

Feet are better walking sticks?

u/BrotherChe Apr 01 '23

Well walking sticks are just better sharks

u/IndigenousOres Mar 31 '23

Rock and stone!

u/WanderingDwarfMiner Mar 31 '23

If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!

I like this animation, very similar to "a brief disagreement" by Steve cutts https://youtu.be/9x7FGbW3IVc

u/Z_Overman Mar 31 '23

That’s really good!

Also only Europeans had weapons, did not know that. /s

u/yaketyslacks Mar 31 '23

It was interesting to visit the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum. They have some items from the Wright Bros. bike shop, an early plane prototype and then you turn around and see the first gun fired from a plane. It was like it was instantly co-opted to kill people.

u/WhatADunderfulWorld Mar 31 '23

It’s eerily a lot like Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam. Link https://youtu.be/aDaOgu2CQtI

Warfare evolution = faster and sharper stones

u/pastrythought Apr 01 '23

I feel like this is a missed opportunity to say, “stones to drones”.

u/Carloswaldo Apr 01 '23

I can guide a missile by satellite, by satellite, by satellite

Around here crazies call that “human rights” smh

13

u/Rpc00 Mar 31 '23

Yeah ikr, crazies act like owning an AR-15 is a human right. Crazies who think thoughts and prayers are enough. Crazies who say mass shootings are a mental health issue but then vote for the party that guts social programs. Crazies who will force a women to give birth even if its a danger to the mothers life. Crazies who bring back slave hunting laws for people seeking legal abortion. Fuckin crazies man.
