Alt TextBlueSky post by user @spavel.bsky.social. It starts with the caption, “The invincible airplane.”

The image below is the red dots on a plane statistics meme, but the dots are transposed onto a twin boom airplane with a forward angled wing, whose components happened to have 0 overlap with the red dot areas of the original plane.

Speaking of rockets, I think my aiming skills are best suited for using Cold War style nuclear tipped surface to air missiles that will still take down a whole squadron of bombers with a single shot, even if you miss by a country mile.

    Y'know, it would have been such a differently horrific world if they actually had started using nuclear weapons for shit like that. I just stumbled across a thread yesterday that was pointing to a couple of old Asimov super-short stories that both were touching on the subject - basically the plot of both is about an alien species tracking the progress of multiple civilizations/planets, and both being happy to learn of Earth's progress until they learn that we were detonating nuclear weapons on the surface of our planet, then basically going "Oh, well, we know how that ends. Oh well, seemed like a nice planet." lol
