fellow_human@lemmy.zipContext: The meme is about how people always obsess over German WW2 hypothetical super weapons like the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte, but forget that other countries had their own wild paper projects. The left side shows the Tillman Battleships, HMS Incomparable, and N3/G3 ships, which were equally ridiculous naval designs. It’s a nudge that every nation had crazy ideas, but only the German ones get all the hype.

I feel like “even bigger battleship” isn’t quite comparable to the absurdity of the Ratte concept. If you want silly ideas like that from the allies, why not mention, say, project Habakkuk? (For anyone unfamiliar, there was an idea to build an aircraft carrier bigger than any ship ever built, out of pkrete, which is ice with wood fiber mixed into it)
Are you feeding these memes into AI and having it explain them? Just curious.
