Just gonna pitch in here, but I'm no expert. I was reading people's reactions when that TLD was introduced, and they raised concerns over the possibility that a bad actor could spoof an address that actually downloads a .zip file to your device when you click the link, even though you may assume it's an address to a page. No idea what a hypothetical virus could do from a compressed environment, but thats what I remember reading.

Sorry to any experts if I'm muddying the waters with a dumb take!

Could have been the blowoff valve for the turbo! Or a shitty muffler delete on a nearby Infiniti

He just wants to play commander and "say the line" like the big strong man he thinks he is. Not done having fun after his parade of toys apparently.

It's okay, his "agent AI" told him it was good for him and that he was brilliant for maximizing his body's fuel intake, or some shit.

Best shit I've seen all week.

Pun intended? But I agree. Something like this was inevitably going to happen.

Yeah, that might be better. But then we need a name for people who are genuinely convinced by AI junk, since I think "gobbler" implies a willingness to consume.

Combining yours with the one by @vala@lemmy.world, we get "Slop gobbler"

I played the trumpet for several years and I love that instrument. It's bad enough that the names coincide; please don't make it worse 😭

Thanks for the info! I'm aware of JDAM from following the invasion of Ukraine, but I wasn't aware of the whole arming process.

Now, I may be underestimating my ignorance, but that doesn't look like JDAM to me. Seems a bit small. Also, the fact that the pilot suddenly looks toward the wing tells me that he was expecting it to shoot out in front, and only felt the mechanical release (or do they use small explosive bolts? I'm more versed in spaceflight so that's my only other guess 😅) and saw no visual confirmation that it fired.

Edit, just saw your edit! It's a gbu-12 I guess
