For real. If ever there were a time to hop on an Amtrak, I think this would be a good one.

I would want the motherfucking Navy to take me around South America, the passenger train system in the US is sadly so sparse it makes it too easy for someone to find someone else based on odds. And Amtrak doesn’t have anti air weapons

And Amtrak doesn’t have anti air weapons

Amtrak can pull your own private rail car. Nothing says that car couldn't be the US's navy's armored caboose which may or may not actually have anti air weapons (classified)

Ok that’s absurdly dope but I’m still feeling safer on the aircraft carrier

Hope it carries Lockheed s planes nstead of..... Boing

(Typo intentional, get off grammar Nazis)

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Navy and Air Force still have plenty of Boeings that were made properly. They're talking about fitting the B-52 with warp engines rather than ever retire the thing

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

B52 with warp nacelles in an aircraft carrier? Hhhhm let me check something in midjourney and I'll be back soon

And Raytheon missles!!

You think they will make a boing machine just drop in on the train? I mean at the rate those planes are failing, I would not be surprised if that happens by chance even. Damn, this was their plan from the start, wasn't it?

It's okay, they are all going to commit suicide by jumping off together. The plane will have no issues.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.one 5 points 6 months ago

The hole in the fuselage that caused them to be sucked out was actually made by one of them in a suicide/homicide. Very tragic. Somebody invest in mental health please!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

The will get off the plane and then get on the shuttle never to be heard from again.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh the plane will be fine. Being a whistleblower is very stressful though. I would not be at all surprised if many if not all of them find it just too hard to go on and end up committing suicide by shooting themselves twice in the back of the head before jumping off a building.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Jumping off a building is the Russian way.

American way is walking into a school in the middle of a shooting.

Australian way is going to the mall to bet on the ponies and running into a stabber. (I'm really sorry this is too soon, but next week nobody would understand the joke)
