The stupid monkey thread

[Blue Frost]

It isn't legal, any noise like that between the night, and to 7Am that disturbs you in a residence isn't legal.
Also the noise is limited to construction, and yard work mostly in the day hours.
It's called Disturbing the peace.

Since kids today seem to be obsessed with their mental health....Maybe they should start licking electrical outlets....

The free shock treatment they will get might make the fact the world is going to end in 11 years easier to deal with...

I wonder why the breaker didn't click off

I had switches catch fire in the past, but they where old, and brittle Bakelite switches.

I dont know about the USA but our trends were like jumping off the bridge into the river..

Or swimming across the river.

If you are a true resident of this town, you have swam across the river at least once.

Many have died trying... The current is pretty strong.

People are this stupid, and they vote.

Ive actually seen this happen.

And so many other dumb things with young girls and selfies.

I have seen them walk out into traffic, and into polls in the city a lot, nobody hurt though. A few angry drivers.

Not for nothing but Mountain "lions" are sometimes referred to as "panthers"... But they ain't fucken pink...nor are they "lions" or "panthers"...

Genus: "puma", species: "P.C. Concolor" in the south or "P.C. Cougar" in the north. They are actually more closely related to the domestic cat than the panther.

I have found that most people are just not intellectually curious enough to perform research beyond what they want for their next meal. Stuff like the difference between animal species is useless information to them....Conversely, I consider myself fortunate that the info most people consider "useless", clutters and fills my head...

I know what Panther looks like..

Here is one.

[Odinson]

Here is a Leopard.

[Odinson]

And a Tiger..

That yankee is molesting it.

Soon as American tank designs caught up those where death traps with all those flat angles on them.
Always love those tanks though, I built a lot of models of them growing up.
LOL, used to load them with gas bombs also, and watch them burn

The american 75mm cannon had to come within 100 yards to have any chance against a Tiger... Even then the armor was too thick to penetrate.

Like the one in the picture, most "killed" Tigers were abandoned due to transmission failure.


The Tiger could destroy the Sherman from 1000 yards.

That was until the bigger guns came out near the end of the war, up till them it was a 4 to one ration to take a tiger out.
I really feel bad for those tankers that went up against each other.
The thing is though, tanks are not made to go up against each other, they are infantry support in most cases.

Americans had to start a campaign to boost the morale of the tank troops... They were all getting killed and being in a tank was thought of as a certain death.

The firefly Sherman had the bigger, more capable gun but the tank as a whole was still weak.

If I recall, it was recommended to have the whole tank platoon (3 tanks) with you when engaging german heavy tanks.. Otherwise you should just boogie.



At the end of the day, the americans overwhelmed the germans with numbers.

[Blue Frost]

I was told four tanks where the number to have, three to keep them busy, and one to get behind them.
Until the end of the way the Americans didn't have much of a chance even with two, or three tanks to one German one.

The most lucky Sherman in history
