bartolomeo, in "Did you know you can just shoot the French?"

How do I get it to show the gif in the body? Sorry, I’m new at this, but I thought it was pretty funny.

nuke,

If you set it as the post link it should embed automatically without needing to put anything in the post body

If that doesn’t work, you could also put it in the body like you’re trying by using this format: ![](https://your/link/here)It’s also the same way to embed in comments

This one might be tough to make work since it’s a webm file rather than a real gif file. Lemmy and the various apps don’t do a great job handling video file formats.

bartolomeo,

I uploaded a gif but it got converted to webm. Are gifs allowed? Or maybe it’s the instance I’m on?

kersploosh,
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s weird behavior. Gifs should be okay as far as I know.

bartolomeo,

Thanks. It also reformatted (or at least renamed) the gif to webm. Is gif not an allowed format or something?

ivanafterall, in What is the USMC putting in the Crayolas these days?!?!
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

This was during Jeopardy! Kids Week, though.

Draegur, in What is the USMC putting in the Crayolas these days?!?!

it’s that they stopped putting lead in this guy’s crayons.

goldteeth,

he’s stationed up in Stuttgart so he’s gotta make do with the cheapo European crayons, they always skimp on the lead in those things

If we want to avoid WWIII, I hope we have top men protecting the archduke of Austria-Hungary these days.

booly, in Vatnik historybuff copium (holy shit)

Remind me of who won that war?

I’m pretty sure the Ukrainians won that one too.

shalafi, in Finland is going with an M4 derivative. It's a sad time for fans of European firearms design. Oh well, at least we'll get a Sako made M4.

Got my AR about 2-years ago. It’s so easy in every way it’s almost boring. Put a low-end red-dot on it. Can’t miss. Can’t make it malfunction.

Getting NATO on a standard like the M4 is a no-brainer.

DogWater,

On the contrary, storm troopers do nothing but miss!

Tammo-Korsai,
@Tammo-Korsai@kbin.social avatar

That's rebel propaganda. The Stormtroopers had no trouble boarding Tantive IV and people seem to selectively ignore the scenes proving that the rebels were permitted to escape the Death Star so they could be tracked to their secret base.

Yesssss, we're slowly turning into a slightly saner /k/ here.

Notorious_handholder,

Yo where did you get your AR from? I love the star wars look!

shalafi, (edited )

It’s a Ruger AR-556 Whiteout, pretty much stock excepting the custom dust cover and muzzle device. Got the bit on the end from Canto Arms. Same guys that made my blaster.

Already had the white Olight and the 45° canted adapter. Not a “weapon” light, but it works! Literally drop kicked the gun to test, many times. Slammed it on the ground, many times. Works fine.

Best part, I got a standard 30-round mag advertised as “Stormtrooper White”. :) The 10-round mags are easier to use for a few reasons, even though standard mags are not banned around here.

Notorious_handholder,

Thanks for the reference that blaster also looks really cool! I might have to copy you cause that gun looks sick and Im jealous lol. Right now I got an AR10 chambered for .308, I like it for hunting but for target shooting not so much. A 556 variant would probably be a lot better for that

I feel you on the mag size, 30 rounds aren’t banned where I’m at either and they look nicer (especially that stormtrooper white you mentioned, oh man that’d look so cool!) but I also use a 10 round cause of how much better it feels and makes it easier to use.

There are adapters that can go into the frontsightpost to mount a light, or rails that can be fitted onto the clamshell handguard. Or a mount like this. Much better places for a light to be accessed by the hand.

The sling can be rerouted through the stock like so. Without buying additional adapters the front of the sling can be mounted to the frontsightpost with nothing more than a little bit of gutted 550 cord like so. The advantage of doing this is that if you take your hands off the rifle while it is slung to your front, the rifle will not try to flip upside down awkwardly.

shalafi,

Coming back to this later. The light hitting my A sight is painful. Never seen one like that!

lud,

Bruh, did you really star wars theme a weapon?

shalafi,

Mostly came that way out the box. Seen my blaster?

lud,

I will admit that the blaster looks pretty cool. But I will probably always feel a bit weird about weapons being played with and customised in that way.

Like, if I saw a weapon like that I would assume it’s for cosplay and not for killing people.

It’s not very likely that I will ever see a weapon like that though since weapons are strictly controlled where I live. So outside of museums and military contexts, the only weapons I have seen are hunting rifles.

nuke,

It’s beautiful 😍

shalafi,

Thank you! Inside the dust cover is another Imperial logo and THX 1138. Otherwise, about entirely stock.

HobbitFoot, in Is this too credible?

Needs more Chyna.

JohnDClay, in Time for another penguin war

Are we seeing how many wars we can have going on at once? 2 is already way too many. (And I’m sure there are smaller ones not in the news)

5ibelius9insterberg,

There’s a list on Wikipedia…

nxdefiant, in How could we have been so blind

I’m gonna need one more and it’s “Proxy war between Putin and the citizens of Russia”

Proxy?

nxdefiant,

That’s a very good point.

NATO can help!

Droechai, in We must protect ethnic Finns in Karelia

Suur-Soumi rears its head again. Let’s hope Sweden, Norway and Estonia is left out of the expansion plans this time around

Aqarius, in Vatnik historybuff copium (holy shit)

You can tell it’s history understander time when the topic is “the Allies helped Russia”.

casmael, in Why would the terrorists lie? 😭

I am super out of the loop here what’s going on with this hospital situation

@vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

A hospital blew up in Gaza killing a bunch of already wounded Palestinian civilians. Hamas said that Israel did it. Israel says Hamas did it.

There’s ongoing unsolved debate over whether or not Hamas could have done that with the kind of weapons they’ve had. Some people claim that the explosion was consistent with weapons used by Israel.

It’s Chaotic Evil vs Lawful Evil.

Hyperreality, (edited ) in Rejoice, soon there will be 1000 F-35's among nations of the free world

Plenty more about to be delivered too. Eg. the first Belgian F35 rolled off the production line last week. Poland's set to start receiving theirs sometime next year.

That's the interesting thing about Ukraine. Putin's clearly delaying in the hopes of a Trump win and set his hope on attrition and numbers, but at the same time a lot of EU countries are going to have F16s they want to get rid of soon. Perhaps that's why the Russians have been threatening countries like Romania, trying to dissuade them from offering logistic support to Ukrainian F16s.

Should be interesting.

Bit of a tangent, but given that the F35 will replace the F16 as a nuclear bomber for the Netherlands and Belgium, and the Germans are replacing their tornados for the same reason, I wonder if Poland might at one point become part of the nuclear sharing agreement with the US. They'll have the planes to drop them. Kinda makes sense with Kaliningrad being a thing.
