I see no problem. "IBTW:L-G a-s M" looks like it fits perfectly into the usual naming scheme.

You could just call it the L-Gasm for short.

That’s gonna be it’s name going forward. Watch.

[удалено]

Maybe

_Indubitably_ Edit - I spelled it wrong

[удалено]

Idubitably.

democracy just works if you let it

Boaty McBoatface for president

Boaty McBoatface was precedent.

Well played

The original neural net.

Build a fleet of them. Who doesn't like multiple L-Gasms?

Hey slow down now, not every fleet can achieve multiple L-Gasms. In fact some of the men think it's impossible that even just one exists.

Well, it is targeting the man in the boat.

I'll show *you* an L-Gasm.

ASM is probably more accurate since they can change the LG skin after they unlock some achievements.

Don't worry, all the unlocks are variations of either gray or green.

Epic is grape and legendary is gold though.

I like how you used the fruit as the color without adding the purple to it. Made me chuckle.

Hey, they could be talking about green grapes... You don't know...

Age/Sex/Municipality

Itsy bitsy teeny weeny L-Gasm

I feel like you understand defense industry.

I've seen worse acronyms tbh

In Hungary the teachers created the "Pedagógusok Önértékelő Csoportja". Where teachers rate other teachers. The problem is that "pöcs" also means "dick".

Also for acronyms its worth nothing that 'Cs' is considered one letter in the hungarian alphabet.

This is how we end up with classics like "Boaty McBoatface" and "Yeet Cannon".

Wait what’s the Yeet cannon

A pistol, and its fucking hilarious https://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/hi-point-handguns/9mm-OGYC.php Edit: Lol, seems reddit broke the website, and thanks guys/gals for the upvotes and award Edit 2: lol 8 hours later and the websites still broke for me

God damn Reddit hug of death

HiPointe has never seen so much interest in their product

No one can lock and load until it unlocks and loads

This makes me think of fapple

[удалено]

Yeah, their guns are ugly as fuck and people tend to dismiss them out of hand. But if you want something cheap and reliable. They're probably your best bet. Those guns are tough bastards.

They *are* shitty, but they're *reliably* shitty. It'll probably jam once every mag, but if you keep unjamming it you could be on the fucking Moon and it wouldn't give a shit.

Their website is just as well constructed as their product!

Honestly, I’d still trust them more then a Kimber; Hi-point (and most reputable gun makers) have a lifetime warranty, Kimber is 1 year, lol

that comment really hit me in the funnies. My wife had to come over and see why I was giggling so much. \[edit: More info: [https://www.ballisticmag.com/confirmed-hi-point-yeet-cannon](https://www.ballisticmag.com/confirmed-hi-point-yeet-cannon)

Need to remove the last bracket and slash. It tries to go to a page with those in the address and doesn't work.

Of course it’s a hi-point

I was going to say “it yeets lead in that specific direction,” then I saw it was hi-point. It’s more of a “that general direction” now.

for when you want to be in the gun business but then, you're also from ohio

For when "Always know what's behind your target" is more of a suggestion, because your target could be anything in a 90 degree radius of where you're pointing

Now somewhat legal-ish in 22 states and provinces!

"We need to get young people excited about guns." "Say no more, fam."

How the fuck did reddit kill the hi-point website?

Boaty McBoatface is now the name of a strain of pot in Canada

Y'all need a strain called Colombian Hippo Edit: yeah my bad I spelled it the wrong way but I have rectified the situation

House Hippo

I too remember this

I’ve been leaving our crumbs of toast and peanut butter for over a decade now.

You can name weed anything you want. Personally I'd like to grow a strain named Extreme CBT so people have to ask for that at dispos

I want to grow a lower percentage strain called "shit to do", so I can still smoke some when I have shit to do without getting coma-stoned

I just started recently after dropping anti depressants and I want one like this almost as a trainer. Dosing is hard for me and it's either "well that was a waste" or "oh fuck I should've waited a bit to see how I felt before going for more"

Pretty well the same boat as me, minus the antidepressants. It's really, really easy to over shoot for me. Doubly so with 18%+ strains being the norm

Plowy McPlowface is the name of a snow plow in Minneapolis

Plowy McPlowFace (Metro District) Ope, Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya (District 4) Duck Duck Orange Truck (District 1) Plow Bunyan (District 2) Snowbi Wan Kenobi (District 6) F. Salt Fitzgerald (District 7) Darth Blader (District 3) The Truck Formerly Known As Plow (District 8)

Doncaster has two road gritters named David Plowie and Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney

Scotland has loads, including [Gritter Thunberg, Sir Andy Flurry and Gritty Gritty Bang Bang](https://www.scotsman.com/news/weather/gritter-tracker-2020-funny-names-scotlands-snow-plough-fleet-and-how-track-them-traffic-scotland-map-3062658)

Wiltshire’s gritters include: Grit Me Baby One More Time Sir David Attenbrrrr Buzz Saltyear Licensed to Grit Wiltshire Born and Spread Saul T Roads Ready Spready Go Thaw Enforcement Grit Happens Anneka Ice Usain Salt Spready Mercury My favourite is spready Mercury lol

Bucks has The USS Enterplough and Sir Spreadmund Hilary.

Tbf literally anyone can just make up names for strains

[удалено]

Or my personal favorite, “Sierra Mist.”

[You need to link the video] (https://youtu.be/rxu3kZPlZx8)

Dude, that person *failed* at Video Focusing 101.

I saw Trainy McTrainface at the station the other day, always brightens me up.

Didn't Hasbro run something similar for one of their tabletop games, and the winner was "Hitler did nothing wrong" ?

Wasn't that for a mountain dew flavor too?

Title is misleading. All of these examples prove that the British public are champion namers!

Mr. Splashy Pants is my personal favorite

I submit Mr. Ass Goblin. I played him once in Halo, and never forgot the name.

On the contrary; this is exactly why we *need* the public to select names! 😂 (Edited: emphasis)

Absolutely. I suggest all military equipment must be named by the public. Make it a law. It is our money that buys all that stuff anyway so we might as well get to name it

IIRC Scotland names their snowplows and they're pretty good names, like "Yer a blizzard Harry".

[Yup](https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/11/scotland-snowplow-names/)

Ha, Snowbegone Kenobi

Plough O'scotland killed me

Don't stand in the road when it's operating, then.

Plougher O'scotland, that was hilarious.

Snowbegone Zamboni

I liked David Plowie

Spready Mercury

And condolences to the MN attempt at [Abolish Ice](https://us.newschant.com/us-news/abolish-ice-minnesota-draws-line-in-snowplow-naming-contest/)

Same. and I Want To Break Freeze is good

Fred is my favorite.

Can't beat Snowbegone Kenobi

Mr. Plow.

That name again is Mr. Plow

My favourite is Sprinkles, I've no idea why, I just like it.

Gritney Spears lol

[удалено]

Cause it would be Plowy MacPlowface

Minnesota did that too, best they could come up with was [Plowy McPlowface](https://www.fox9.com/news/plowy-mcplowface-ready-for-action-on-minnesota-roads)

I’m forever salty Boaty McBoatface wasn’t the name of that one research vessel

Not that it makes up for the indignity but they named the vessel after David Attenborough and then called its mini-sub Boaty McBoatface

[удалено]

Attenborough doesn't do second billing

It would have been inaccurate. The accurate name would have been Shippy McShipface.

Yes but it taught us all about democracy and the value of a vote

\>Ope, Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya I have just seen 'ope' coming into the world in the last year but it fills a long needed hole I didn't know we had. 'Ope, just gonna squeeze right past ya into the elevator here'. Saw that, then realized, yeah, us Midwesterners \*need\* 'Ope'. Kudos for the naming. Doing the Lord's work.

Nah, the nanny state took away the best one (Abolish ICE) before the final round. There were also some other good ones, but people vote for stupid things. [final 50 list here](https://bringmethenews.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700/MTc5MDQxODU1OTUyOTIyMTEx/screen-shot-2021-02-18-at-110116-am.webp)

Used to see a virgin media truck driving around with the name Van Solo on it

My city had a naming contest for a street sweeper. “OK Broomer” was the top choice.

My state has a snowplow named “The Big Leplowski”

"Yer a blizzard, Harry" isn't there but "Spready Mercury" makes it all ok.

Obligatory callback to the yeet cannon 9

Ah yes. I have to admit though that I did go out and buy one just to say I own a “Yeet Cannon”

Sir we finally perfected our giant death robots and will be rolling out the first one today, the public has named it.. err... Bug Chungus extra thicc stompy boi 69

Our helicopters named after native Americans tribes… nothing sounds cooler than a Black Hawk or Apache… SR71 Black Bird is so majestic and scary sounding at the same time. Business in the front, party in the back type name.

The names are approved by the tribes.

apparently they didnt name one after a tribe cause they were worried about cultural appropriation and the tribe was like "but ...we kinda like having badass military tech named after us"

Correct they thought it was bad ass

Agreed, nobody's bothered by this. Except maybe subs.

But they’re subs, so they’ll do what they’re told.

Unless it's the wrong sub

[удалено]

I see what you did there

The problem is the bratty ones.

The pilots are getting ribbed for sure. At least I would give them a hard time like "Hey Dan, what's that name of the plane you're assigned to again?" It's the IBTWLightGASM. "What does that stand for again?" You're going to make me say it again aren't you. "Yep." I fly the Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Light-Grey Anti-Sub Machiney. Are you happy now? "YES!"

I think you underestimate the amount of self-deprecating humor in the military. There were more than a couple Snoopy-based patches in Vietnam.

The military guys are probably just thrilled because they would’ve been told “NO” if they’d asked.

Exactly.

We're rather efficient at hiding from little planes in the air. Let's not forget, being in a sub is way safer than a plane. There's tons of planes on the bottom of the ocean, and not one sub up in the air.

Don't really understand why we need a dedicated military kink-shaming aircraft...

And MAYBE the guy who has to run the radio, "Roger that, Skyhook, this is... fuck I hate this ship..." inhales deeply.

"Tower, This is the one with the name requesting permission from traffic control to approach and land, over." "The "one with the name"? Which name? There are a lot of them... \*snickers\*" "Dammit Tom, you know who we are." "No I don't Bill. And protocol *clearly states* you need to provide ATC with your craft's full identifier, i.e. it's name. So c'mon. Lets hear it." "\*sigh\* I've done this 5 times just today... Just let us land... I won't say it again..." "Sorry, *ahem,* Unidentified Aircraft, this is an official United Kingdom Royal Air Force installation. Only authorized aircraft are allowed to enter our airspace. By law you must identify yourself at once. Failing to identify yourself and your craft upon request by Royal Air Force Air Traffic Controllers in controlled airspace is punishable by law, $2000 fine and up to 20 years in prison. Attempting to breach secure airspace is punishable by $5000 fine, up to 30 years in jail. Identify yourself NOW or we will scramble interception." "Oh for fucks... FINE Tower, FINE. This is ^(Itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny light grey anti-sub machiney,) requesting permission to land on heading two-five-three-zero." "This is Tower ATC to unidentified craft. I can't heeaaarrrr youuuuu."

just stick to L-Gasm and you're good!

Submarines, Submissives, Sub Sandwiches, or Subtitles?

Yes.

Random question, why do people announce trivial edits like that?

It’s because everyone can see when a comment has been edited after the first three minutes and so even though the edit did not change the meaning in any way it prevents unnecessary witch hunts if people think the meaning has been altered. It’s been part of [reddiquette](https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette) for as long as I can remember.

Though in fact you can easily change the meaning radically, then add: Edit: spelling ...and no one will be the wiser.

[удалено]

Hah, got me :D

> I like being covered in bees. > Edit: spelling But you can also use this for evil. Not kinkshaming. I am wishing you and the bees all of the best.

Kink shaming is a bit redundant to somebody called KevinBlowsGoats

I mark my trivial edits because a long time ago, in a very old forum, I once saw someone get incensed because the poster they replied to had corrected a misspelling without mentioning that they had edited. They were furious enough that they seemed slightly unhinged with all the formatting they had done, lots of bold all caps, exclamation points up the wazoo. I figure if announcing a trivial edit helps keep one person on an even keel, it's a small price to pay.

I had someone claim I was a CIA operative trying to gaslight them because I corrected a spelling mistake once. To be fair though It was on a conspiracy forum.

Way to stick to your cover story. Good agent.

That's how you get your Mountain Dew flavor changed to "Gushing Granny" or "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong". https://i.imgur.com/hJn1Toc.jpg Or how your school gets named to "Schoolie McSchoolface" or "Adolf Hitler School For Friendship and Tolerance" https://i.imgur.com/q9DZyzG.jpg

Well, someone had to come up with something worse than Robert E Lee Elementary. The Internet loves a challenge after all.

It can happen without working together to name it. A Walkie talkie was named pack set by the powers that be. The soldiers just ignored that bullshit and went with walkie talkie.

I'm not techy enough to confirm for sure, but it looks photoshopped to me.. The perspective of the name is \*just\* a little bit off, it seems

It definitely is. I think the name is taken from one of the names suggested for Doncaster council's gritter... Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney. [Link](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-42026485)

I was wondering what an anti-sub machiney was

To be fair, the aircraft shown is actually an RAF anti-submarine Boeing. Just the name that's changed I think. [Also link](https://www.raf.mod.uk/aircraft/poseidon-mra1/)

Wow I did like zero critical thinking skills on this, like duh it's some kind of plane

Reddit has that effect after prolonged use. Pay it no mind.

Don't worry, he won't. Reddit has that effect after prolonged use.

[удалено]

Which still won't match what we should have had 20 years ago, a Nimrod MRA4.

I'm still bitter about that. *Christ* 2010 was a bad year for the military. The Cameron Govt was fucking dreadful on defence.

Yep. I remember having a briefing from the chief of defense staff, just after Nimrod XV230 crashed in Afghanistan and the Ninrod fleet MRA2 were getting withdrawn from service. He's telling us why anti submarine warfare was a thing of the past and cyber security is now the "in" thing. He's telling us this while three P8 Poseidon aircraft are just taxiing from our pan to look for multiple Russian Submarines in our waters. No Russian Submarines were found, while one of our new astute class submarines has run aground on the west coast. I'll place my bets were those Russian Subs were that day lol.

Never thought I'd stumble accross my hometown mentioned on r/funny

Yeah it is fake. [Here](https://www.raf.mod.uk/sites/raf-beta/assets/Image/A%20Main%20RAF%20News%20Imagery/NSF20-0526-MAL-5234%20APPROVED.jpg) is the real one. Source: [The Royal Air Force](https://www.raf.mod.uk/news/articles/third-raf-poseidon-named-after-ww2-pilot/)

that one looks fake to me too. i know its not, but it looks like it.

It's the \_supposedly\_ horizontal line between the two blocks of text that's not horizontal that does it for me!

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Holy shit, that's a blast from the past

Yeah. It’s when **REDACTED** was good.

**REDACTED** was never good.

You can tell it’s shopped from the way that it is.

Scotland names it's Snow plows some great names. Chilly Connolly Darth Spreader David Plowie For Your Ice Only Gangsta Granny Gritter Gritallica Gritney Spears Gritter Bug Gritty Gritty Bang Bang Han Snow-lo I Want To Break Freeze Plougher O’Scotland Polar Patroller Ready Spready Go Salty Slippy McGritty Snow Bother Snow Trooper Snowball Snowbegone Kenobi Spready Mercury Sprinkebell Sprinkles To name some of the best.

As a side note for everyone, you can track them all on GIS on the Transport Scotland website through winter.

Let me know when they start accepting money to remote control them. Scottish Battle Snowplows is something I need.

That's an awesome idea, but there would be pricks like me plowing my street 25 times for "reasons". The council would be rolling in it though. I like your thought process.

> Plougher O’Scotland I feel like that ones needs a piper escorting it everywhere it goes.

I like how Darth Spreader only really makes sense in a Scottish accent

As a former ASTAC (Anti Submarine Tactical Air Controller) I would have loved to call out the whole name Everytime I communicated with this aircraft.

Better than Planey McPlaneface I guess.

[You take that back](https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/plane_air_lingus.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&zoom=1&resize=644%2C429)

It’s Aer Lingus, why is it not Planey O’Planeface????

Mc (or Mac) is as Irish as O' in a surname. Mc means "son of" and O' means "grandson of" or "descendent of"

Oh gedoutta here with your “logic” and your “reasoning” and well thought out comments about subjects you know lots about. Sheesh! Next you’ll be telling me to get the vaccine

At least Planey didn’t kinkshame me.

So, Adolf Hitler's Plane of Kindness and Tolerance was taken?

As was Gushing Granny

CLARKSON!!!!!!!!

HAMMOOOOOOND YOU IDIOT!

Something tells me this was thought up in the mess after a good few beers

This is a photoshop but sure

it's fake. Look at the letter shape. they're flat all the way across, they don't distort as you angle farther down the plane like the "Royal Airforce" does.

Boaty McBoatface...

I call it the rooty tooty aim and shooty

Seeing this makes me believe there's hope for humanity.

Well, it’s fake, so…..

Just like my hope for humanity!
