TranscendentalEmpire, in Recycling 4-year-old 737 memes (Part 1)

Is Airbus doing some kind of odd gorilla marketing, or did you just lose a bunch of money on Boeing stock?

aeronmelon,

Airbus would be foolish not to capitalize on the situation.

21Cabbage,

It guerilla marketing, gorilla marketing probably involves offers of food and sex.

marcos,

Well, as far as we know, somebody could be hiring gorillas to punch airplane doors out of place.

As the newly appointed marketing executive of Airbus, this is exactly what we are doing

PsychedSy,

Hilariously enough, that wouldn’t work. They’d have to snap some bolts first.

marcos,

Yeah, I know. The force a gorilla can make is minuscule compared to what those doors withstand normally.

It’s only a joke.

PsychedSy,

Granted, if we fail to put bolts in the 'rilla wins.

LemmyFeed,

I’m listening…

I had these saved on my Instagram from the time that two 737 Max crashed about four years ago. Never thought these memes would ever be relevant again but after the door incident I had to pull them out and spam Lemmy with them.

In my case it’s more disbelief and anger, I was pretty upset after studying the 737 Max crashes. They could have been completely avoided, but they chose to skirt regulation. Boeing test launch for the space capsule was a disaster, and now this. It’s incredible, i would have assumed something would have been done after hundreds of people died. But it appears like issues persist and more people are going to die. All in the interest of profits, and our legislators are not only complicit but actively participating in this criminality.

sunbrrnslapper,

I think tossing one of their execs and jail would inspire some changes.

TranscendentalEmpire,

Accurate, to the point, and emotionally compelling. Exactly what a marketing manager hired by Airbus would say! I’m on to you…

lol 🤣🤣🤣… me and my sister used to play dexter and didi. She did all sorts of stupid things in my modest electronics workshop and I would chase her all over the appartment 🤣. She even called me dexter and I called her didi. It was a blast to be honest, I miss those days…

I hope you and your sister are both doing well and happily still in contact spreading love! I love my sibling so much, so I hope you love each other too!

Yeah, we’re doing fine ☺️. We’ve drifted away (it’s a long story, not gonna get into it), but the main thing is, we’re both fine.

For me staying up is easy in general. Give me 10h night shifts, I don’t care. As long as you never make me get up early that is.

Looks like a collage?

Classy,

Yes, it’s quite liminal isn’t it? Makes me think of old PS2 games.

superduperenigma, in Fuck the balloon police

But we stole a balloon!

Yeah, on national free balloon day.

For the record, yes you need a pilot’s license to fly a hot air balloon.

And yes the “balloon police” (aka the FAA in the United States) or their equivalent governing body in other countries will stop you, and fine you.

bdonvr,

You DON’T need a license for some types of flight though. Anything under 254 pounds. Ultralights and paragliders. (However that doesn’t mean there’s no rules)

Agent641,

FAA if you’re lucky. If youre unlucky, the baloon police are an F-16 with a sidewinder

Rozz,

That seems like overkill

rtxn,

Robert Fulton has entered the chat.

21Cabbage, (edited )

I wonder if the IR sensor of a sidewinder could get a lock on the heating element of a hot air balloon.

HikingVet,

New versions could easily target a hot air balloon.

21Cabbage,

Breaking: Ban placed on hot air balloons, lethal force authorized on local festivals. Citizens confused.

DocMcStuffin,
@DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know if they can actually stop you. Especially the first time. But they can definitely find you and fine you. A lot. Like more than tree fiddy.

Igloojoe,

Yes. They wont kill you and take down your balloon. But you have to come back to land at some point. Then bam! You’re arrested…

HikingVet,

They can definitely encourage you to land.

Imgonnatrythis,

I heard in France the balloon police are armed. With BB guns to take down offenders.

moon,

How do they stop you mid flight though

Aux,

With helicopter mounted machine guns.

My country town is really into ballooning, so there’s always a bunch of balloons flying around here and there, so no one would even notice an extra one floating around, unless you were a dick and flying low.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Man, I wish I lived in a country town that’s really into ballooning :(

DrCatface, in Fuck the balloon police

'member chinese spy balloon?

dan42O,

👀

LinkOpensChest_wav,

And the maniacs shooting at it? First thing I thought of.

Lemvi, in Fuck the balloon police

The F-22 was designed for nothing else.
