But the comment isn’t pointing you anywhere else. And the commenter didn’t make the thread. And the wallet is actually real.
550 cord is great, and people should have some in their vehicle, or a pack while traveling.
The cords on stuff like the wallet bother me though because even with the space reducing knot, it’s a comically small amount of cord that’s almost purely a fashion statement. A significant amount of 550 cord on a roll, spindle, or just in a ziplock bag is far more practical.
I’ve known some outdoorsy people who’ve made their own 550 bracelets, but when it comes to storebought ones it’s pretty much 100% people that never go in the woods wearing them in my experience.
I put the OP image in a reverse image search and found the product and brand in about ten seconds.
Why would a hailcorporate be reluctant to name the product? It feels a little Catch 22, because if they’d instantly named it that could also be interpreted as hailcorporate.
You went from like 0 to 100 on the antagonistic tone over someone saying they owned a wallet.

2·5 days agoI didn’t see the behind the scenes freezer locations. A good chunk of the ship was off limits for restoration.
There was a soda shop and ice cream parlor. I don’t remember about the ice cream, but the soda was an extra the sailors had to pay for out of pocket.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There are a lot of Christmas specials where Christmas is almost cancelled because Santa can't deliver presents that specific night, but realistically he could just postpone Christmas to another day
7·7 days ago
The holiday isn’t Santa’s to postpone. He is an avatar and caretaker of the Christmas spirit, not a master with control over it. Often in the ebin deep lore of these stories, Christmas itself has both power on the specific date which is needed to fuel Santa, and it has a need for the rituals to be completed least it be damaged like the holiday itself is some kind of withering god. Like an Aztec sacrifice to ensure the sun rises, it isn’t just the sort of thing you can delay.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally illEnglish
8·8 days agoA problem with even well intentioned institutionalization is that once somebody is perceived as mentally unwell everything they do is looked at through a clinical lens. This can make it difficult for people who were misdiagnosed or who have recovered to convince people they are well.

Movies@lemmy.world•Anyone remember having the DVD of the movie Hook? Am I imagining things or wasn't there a game in the special features section?English
3·10 days agoThere was a PC adventure game in the vein of the Monkey Island games. Maybe the DVD had a preview of that?
Lemme do two shows:
Kings just had a premise too esoteric for this world. It was like a retelling of the story of king David set in modern times in a constructed world that’s like ours though the Bible doesn’t exist within that world. There’s all sorts of remixed biblical strangeness in it.

Jericho was like if one of those “mystery box” shows actually had a thought out plot that moved forward. Nuclear explosions go off around the country, not-Blackwater PMC guys work for not-Dick Cheney, and the main characters just keep getting sucked in to a ramp up for a post apocalyptic civil war.

I really disliked the first few episodes of Universe. The Battlestar Galactica reboot’s grimdark edge was bleeding in very strongly. The show does mellow out on that as it goes. The basic character friction is still there, but toned way down and characters are usually finding common ground.

So this is interesting. Just weeks after Google’s campaign to promote Android as being more secure than iPhone, the smartphone battle has taken a sudden twist.

6·11 days agoThe card next to it didn’t have much information. I searched online for a little bit only finding that the artist has done numerous pieces with wood and stone like this. Similarly without deep explanations that I could find.
I actually enjoy not knowing the intent.

231·13 days agoThe algorithm that brought this photo to my eyes is. Maybe I’m jumping at shadows but the country music HURAH isn’t organic.
Who made the LW algorithm inorganically push propaganda that lines up with Trump’s agenda?
Or are you suggesting the upvotes themselves are fake? That rather than people simply being interested in the photo, that there are bots waiting to push the insides of a battleship because that translates into political gain?

373·13 days agoI’ve already posted lots of military history that I’ve gone to the effort of traveling to see and document myself. I’ve posted this at whatever times I’ve had free to sort through it. Current news has never factored in to the timing of the posts. I am going to keep visiting historical sites and making posts about them. If you find a connection between historical sites and unrelated current events, that is out of my control.

3·13 days agoAlmost.
The cap (the “penetrative cap” as the above picture calls it) protects the hardened tip of the shell itself, so that the tip doesn’t deform immediately on impact with armor. Soft metal caps did exist and work, but hard metal caps became more common since the hard cap would survive a little bit longer and thus get the shell better positioned to penetrate by the cap hopefully going through the outer layer of armor before the tip on the shell came forward to penetrate the remaining armor.

5417·13 days agoYou got me. Donald Trump personally paid me $20 to take photos of a WW2 battleship and specifically post it here on Lemmy to influence the userbase. He told me if he loses the Lemmy support then his whole plan falls apart.

101·13 days agoI don’t know much about Helldivers, but the Wiki says their artillery are 360mm, which is closer to 14 inch shells. Slightly smaller than the thread pic. The right two here:

From what I see of screenshots, those sizes still seem inflated. Something like a 155mm would be closer to the proportions somebody could fit on their shoulder.
