This is for sure gta

That train will just keep coming. Once such a freight train is going you better get out of the way. The amount of kinetic energy that’s coming towards you is dwarfing compared to a measly tank.

A train of 8000 tons at a velocity of 30 km/h roughly has the kinetic energy of 66.39 kg TNT.

Supposedly 100 kg TNT

~~I don’t think your units make sense — kinetic energy has units of energy, but “kg TNT per second” is power (about 4MW). (I think just remove the “every second” and it’s correct?)~~

Edit: parent edited comment.

You’re right, but “every second” was meant more as a display of the energy in the train, like a large explosion “every second”. Is that very wrong?

It seems to be a lot, how does it compare to an artillery shell? The tank doesn’t look like it fared too badly.

Artillery shell with 1 kg of TNT has explosion energy of about 1 kg of TNT

Sounds like it’s time to create it!

Be the change you want to see in the world! Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

Yeah, but if you’re gonna create it, you have to post to it like once a week or it’ll just sit there dead, forever.

And who wants to find something to post once a week? Can’t I just have Facebook feed it to me. Picture Zuck saying “here comes the plane!”

Eh, if you spam it enough places, you probably only need to do it for a couple months until other people get involved.

Why don’t we use trains on battlefields? (I see no issues with this plan)

You could even wrap the tracks around the train so it can go wherever it wants!

That’s just a tank with extra steps

Make a lengthier tank? Like a centipede!!

No there are no steps. And even if there were the wraparound tracks would be able to go up them due to their circular nature.

Cereal is actually a kind of soup.

And tanks are technically a type of train.

A small train that carries its tracks with it wherever it goes?

A better question is whether a self-propelled artillery “train” is a tank.

For those who like podcasts but want to ensure they get the right format for the podcast, go for the video version. Pure audio is fine and all but you don’t get to see the slides or Justin’s terrible scribblings overtop of the slides.

This podcast however is one where you can easily have the video playing while you do other things, glancing occasionally when they shift to a new slide or start drawing diagrams on the slides

We ironed up the boats too, steam engine warfare was kinda cool ngl

Who wants a pretzel?

Russia and Ukraine do

It looks like the tank returned fire.
