For me, sticking wings and a turbofan on a guided bomb moves it into the cruise missile category, but whatever.

Line between guided bomb with an engine, cruise missile, and autonomous aeroplane-kamikaze (guided artillery shells with engines as well) is pretty thin. Might be that any weapon with time converges into cruise missile. 🙃

All weapons converge towards missiles. All living things converge towards crabs.
Or as Albert Einstein famously put it: "I do not know what weapons world war 3 will be fought with, but world war 4 will be fought by crabs armed with missiles."

An age old question - are these still the munitions of Theseus?

Hm, I read glitter bombs and thought it was going weird, but not the craziest thing happening currently so I was okay with it, kinda disappointing actually
