This is more of a catapult. A vastly inferior siege engine.

Excuse me, the meme very clearly specifies it is a form of ballista since it works off of bent spring power

hobovision@lemm.ee · 10 pts · 2y

The meme is fucking wrong.

Catapults and ballistas are different, not because of how they store the energy, but how the throw the projectile. A catapult throws it off a holder and a ballista shoots in down a track.

It's a goddamn catapult. I will not tolerate factual inaccuracy for the sake of a funny meme.

I don't even know how to open sublemmies

ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I'm using Sync, and in Sync you can click on a post and then click on the bar at the top of the post that says which sublemmy/community and instance it's from. From there you can see other posts in that community, subscribe, etc. I've never used lemmy from a browser.

What I mean is create a sublemmy. I didn't word that clearly

ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Ohh ok, yeah I also have no idea how to do that.

You're going flying, we ran out of rocks

I know, but then it doesn't rhyme =P I couldn't think of a better title as all the good puns were already taken.
