You ready for that to happen?
Not sure if this is true, but it ought to be.

Sex? When I saw you lying naked on the bed surrounded by candles I assumed you were performing a satanic ritual. What, I'm a mindreader now?

KILLING MACHINES
Mark 1 - UK, 1916
28 tons - 2,44 m tall, 8,5 m long.
These were the earliest mass-produced tanks, entirely designed around achieving breakthroughs in the difficult terrain of the muddy WW1 battlefields. Their shape was to allow for good passage through craters and over trenches. Their initial use was hampered by immense reliability issues (the vast majority broke down to mechanical failure before reaching the enemy lines) and poor tactical doctrine exposing them to artillery fire. Later in the war, Germany had developed anti-tank guns and tactics. Their success in the war is often overrated, but their potential was undeniable.
Char 2C
The Char 2C ended up being the only "super-heavy" tank to ever enter regular service. 10 were built. By WW2 they were outdated and only used as propaganda assets, advertised as invincible super-machines. All but one were destroyed by their own crews when the German stopped their transport train. The last one was taken to Berlin where it disappeared towards the end of the war.
And for ever advancement there is a counter-measure. The A-10 is a tank killer and close air support for ground troops.
Flying that low requires a plane that is survivable...and it is.
All those planes made it back to their bases.

The Double-Barreled Cannon of Athens
Designed to fire two solid cannonballs connected together by a length of iron chain. The two barrels pointed slightly away from each other, so that when they are fired together the cannonballs would spread to the full length of the chain and mow down enemy soldiers like a scythe cutting wheat on a field, or that was the idea.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that that is the greatest advancement in the culinary arts in at least a century.

I like how “two” is spelled a little strangely so you’re prepared early on for how insane “eight” is going to be.

And, of course, he drives right through the pile of horse shit.
Also note the trees. 50 years later that highway would be a death trap for motorists going 60mph.

I have a friend who used to smuggle drugs, and he told me they did this kind of quick extraction all the time.

Some silliness...

I find it amusing how easily it is to get people to jump on bandwagons. Of course some people are allergic to gluten, but science says it's a much smaller percentage than claimed by soccer moms.
