Ahhh…

To be fair, I’ve had to deal with way too many people who would say the original comment 100% serious. Your comment did too good of a job emulating those people lol

It was me all along!

The reality is that I’ve just been buying dozens of headsets just so I can take this picture. I even chopped up the controllers to make them all colide with each other:

Either you’re just a blatant troll, or you have zero idea how 3D modeling works…

Edit: nvm, it’s a sarcastic joke

These are the more technical, hardware developer models. They have no UVs (unwrapping the 3D model flat), plus they are not at all optimized since they focus more on being dimensionally accurate.

I’ll never be able to see #3 wholesome ever again XD:

The clueless engineers/mechanics think the ERA tiles will add extra protection to the jet and decided to start affixing them to the body without running it by anyone else first.

The reality is that the tiles will weigh the plane down significantly and most definitely destroy the entire plane if one of them gets set off.

It’s the equivalent of strapping plate armor to a flying bird. But also the armor explodes when damaged.

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Who said I love them? I don’t mind an occasional reddit repost bot that is limited to its specific community, but I absolutely despise AI slop posts and spam accounts.

That’s the wonderful thing about Lemmy, you can easily block all of those bots and pretty much make it all disappear. There are even some instances that are just bots.

Sure, new bots will be popping up every now and then, but it’s pretty easy to remove the majority of the bot posts.

They are adding ERA Panels to the outside of a jet.

ERA tiles, or Explosive Reactive Armor, are small explosive charges sandwiched between two metal plates. They are added to the outside of modern tanks as a means of protection. ERA tiles are designed to detonate when hit by a tank shell or other round.

Essentially, the small explosion they cause can greatly reduce the effectiveness of certain armor penetrating rounds.

All in all, the joke is that they are attaching a bunch of bombs to a plane that, first off, shouldn’t be concerned about tank rounds, and secondly, doesn’t have enough armor to survive the ERA detonations in the first place.
