A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

  • Reciting the code to Google Assistant will cause it to say either "Cheat mode enabled.", "You destroyed the Vile Red Falcon and saved the universe. Consider yourself a hero" with a trophy emoji or a similar response.[43]

  • Reciting the code to Apple's virtual assistant Siri will cause her to give one of three responses: "Cheater!", "Nerd." or "I'm getting dizzy...".

  • Reciting the code to Amazon's Alexa will cause her to say: "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! Great job, you've secured all the power-ups!", "Sorry, so close, no power-ups for you." or "Super Alexa mode, activated. Starting reactors, online. Enabling advanced systems, online. Raising dongers. Error. Dongers missing. Aborting."[45]

About

"Raise Your Dongers" is a catchphrase coined by the League of Legends (LoL) player Michael Santana, better known by his online handle Imaqtipie, that is associated with the champion character Heimerdinger. Although its precise meaning is unclear, the phrase has since been adopted by his fans on the live video chatting service Twitch Chat, along with its emoticon form "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ."

Origin

According to Redditor Cosmoviking,[5] Santana would often play the LoL champion character Heimerdinger, whom he initially nicknamed "donger." Santana subsequently used the phrase "dongsquad" as a password for his subscribers, which fans began spamming in Twitch TV along with the code-term "420", in a similar vein to the expression "420 blaze it".

Spread

On April 8th, Santana posted a tweet which included the hashtags "#dongsquad" and "#FrankerZ."

On April 28th, 2013, League of Legends Forums[2] member TheeSeacow created a thread asking for someone to explain the story behind "dong squad 420," to which several users cited Santana's Twitch Chat as the origin of the phrase. On May 24th, a T-shirt featuring an illustration of Santana with the word "Dongsquad" underneath (shown below) was placed for sale on the LoL player website Team-Dignitas.[6]

On June 17th, Santana tweeted the message "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ raise your dongers," which received over 130 retweets and 70 favorites within the first week.

On June 20th, League of Legends Forums[1] member iJamioo started a thread requesting an explanation for the meaning of "raise your dongers." The same day, a Facebook[9] page titled "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ Raise Ur Dongersヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ" was launched. On June 22nd, Redditor Spenceful submitted a post titled "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ" to the /r/nocontext[7] subreddit, accumulating upwards of 400 up votes and 20 comments in 48 hours. On July 21st, YouTuber DumiPL uploaded a dubstep music video titled "The Raise of the Donger" (shown below), featuring various Heimerdinger gameplay footage. On October 20th, Urban Dictionary[8] user Lized submitted an entry for "donger," containing several different ASCII art copypastas.

I assume that in the context of the larger Alexa quote, it's a play off "raising shields", a sort of pop sci-fi thing that one does on a spaceship akin to the other things that Alexa is referencing.

I'm pretty upset at myself for reading half of this before realizing IDGAF

This is the way.

Helldivers could very well be a NCD special event. It can't be a crossover episode if it's literally every episode.

This is definitely not 500 kilograms.

[–] DrDominate@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Thing feels like 500 grams sometimes, anyway
