Not even small dick energy... Just a pathetic cultural mindset of evil. The Anti-Peace.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It can be more than one thing...

Because this absolutely small dick energy.

This is the national equivalent of rolling coal, which is the pinnacle of small dick energy.

[-] deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Small dick energy gives these capitalistic fascist fucks too much credit. When I was out on the streets for George Floyd ppl were holding signs that said Derek chauvin has a small dick and small dick energy this and that. Y’all these monsters are killing innocent people. It goes way beyond dick size. Also there were kids around and I think you SHOULD bring your kids to this kind of stuff when it’s safe, so make your signs and rhetoric more solid!!!

When you let a small child cheat at the game but they still lose.

Is this a Teen Girl Squad reference in the 2026 wild?!

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Homestar Runner references will still surface when millenials are in retirement homes, the workers will assume we've lost our minds.

j/k, millenials won't get to retire

Are aircraft carriers even relevant anymore? In the age of drones, they seem useful only against enemies who don't hit back.

[-] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago

Aircrafts also become amazingly useless when your enemy hits your refuelling planes and you are in a fix now because those were all you had and you stopped making them 50 yrs ago.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

After WW2 carriers weren't checked in peer warfare and were mostly used by US for gunboat diplomacy racket. Few years ago USA conducted wargames which conclusion was that carriers are vulnerable to hypersonic missiles. And some more years before Swedish diesel sub managed to "sink" carrier during NATO maneuvers.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Hypersonic missiles, huh? Do drone swarms not pack enough punch?

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Most likely not, gun boats tend to be pretty damn tough and drones aren't actually fast or powerful. In fact I'd argue that drones are probably a terrible weapon against a carrier. They're vulnerable to hypersonic missiles because the missiles can move faster that the boat can shoot them down. Drones are good at being small, quiet, maneuverable, cheap, easy to use, and easy to deploy. None of those things are useful against an aircraft carrier. They have very very broad area of effect anti missile systems and are made of pure armor.

On the other hand they could probably be used to deploy the world's largest drone swarm quickly anywhere in the world from a well defended position. I don't think they're useless yet...

They are great at wasting the entire interceptor stockpile

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Its more hypersonic missiles that have made them obsolete, as of many years ago now. If the US were in an actual war with a country who has them (China, Russia), its entire carrier fleet would be destroyed within a few hours. US military planners even admit this openly.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Hey now! That's my lack of national healthcare your talking about floating there!

😭

[-] alfonsothemonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

The USA is the Flordia of the world

World Cup final of salt, USA vs Paraguay.

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago

What about Uruguay? The country canceled tgier charter flight and told the team to fly commercial home....now THAT is salty.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Its because Belgium does not need one.

[-] TrippingBalls@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Only need an aircraft carrier if you don't know how to be diplomatic with other nations

[-] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Americans can't possess small dick energy. To possess small dick energy you must be insecure about having a small dick. To be insecure you must know you have small dick. For that you need to see your dick. And americans are usually too fat for that.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Losing a game of billiards and pulling out your gun

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Dude's got a point though. Y'all do make a super big deal about grown-ass adults playing a children's game.

[-] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 53 points 1 week ago

You sure you have an issue with adults playing childrens games?

As much of a point as the US president ordering FIFA to overturn a red card?

[-] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

~~With how popular US high school sports are (literally kids playing games), I don't think that's as good of an argument as you think it is.~~

I've got the reading comprehension of a twelve year old, lol. I think that was the point you were making too.....

Uhh, adults playing sports in the US are pretty popular too! (totally saved it)

[-] Blubber28@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I think you misinterpret the tweet then. Such childish behaviour as "We hAvE aIrCraft CarrIEr nUhUh" doesn't exactly say "we don't care." It just screams "I am a sore loser." I absolutely agree with the rest of your statement, though. It is wild to me how many people care about a bunch of millionaires running after a ball. Or running circles. Or driving cars. Or hitting balls across a net. Or throwing a ball. Etc. It is absolutely fine to enjoy doing those things, but the whole show and dance around it is just ridiculous.

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I take it back. I did misinterpret the tweet a little bit. Dude CLEARLY makes a big deal out of grown-ups playing children's games.

[-] Blubber28@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No problem fam, we all mess up from time to time!

What even is a children's game? A game that can be played by children? That's almost every game, even games with pointy or heavy things have child-safe versions

[-] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Its just a cultural thing. In the US, children play just about every sport, but once kids get to high school, soccer falls off the map and everyone migrates over to American football and basketball. I think they just mean that generally speaking only children play soccer in the US. It's of course not true, there are high school teams and lots of tech leagues, but it is true that hardly anyone who is not a child plays in the US.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Oooooh, it's an american chauvinism thing

Before world cup:

"We don't even care about soccer"

During:

"USA is the best soccer playing nation. Look at how scared everyone is. LMAO"

After losing despite cheating:

"We don't even care about soccer and look at our orphan crushing machine, do you even have one?"

What sore loser mentality.

[-] prole 5 points 1 week ago

It's only a children's game in the US.

[-] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

I think its that all sports are ultimately inconsequential entertainment people get way too serious about.

Unlike war profiteering, which is a very important contribution.

People should be proud of how many children the can kill directly and indirectly through military action, proxy wars, and allocation of lifesaving funds to the military industrial complex.

All games are children's games. People use "growing up" as a reason to quit when in reality we get too old to play to win.

[-] kek_kecske_31@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dude would have a point if they would not "counteract" grown-ass adults playing a children's game with an even worse case of it.

[-] Chev@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Everybody in Europe makes jokes on behalf of the US.

They are no more than toddlers with big guns that love to shoot everybody. No matter if friend or foe.
