Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt - "Biggest Victim of Gamergate," Failed Game Developer, Failed Congressional Candidate

[Sissy Galvez]

"I'm going to do big girl things and get off the internet because you're all mean!!"


I don't think you can leave congress when things are not going your way. Ahaha fuck you John Flynt.

Brianna was just looking to strengthen her district's ties to the Moon Kingdom.

Spoiler: Moon's Response

 

[Smutley]

Brianna Wu needs to be really careful here. The reason we don't have President Newt Gingrich is because of moon bases.

By the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American.

This is the best thing that has happened to this thread since Rev 60.

And then instead of recognizing how retarded his idea is, he tries to convince people a PHD proved her right instead of attaining basic reading comprehension to realize he just highlighted how stupid the entire thing was.

Never change, John.

Well he does have to irrepairably break an Audi, like he irrepairably broke Rev60.

The whole thing is quite amusing, it's like watching an even stupider version of Armageddon, where some scientists got together and figured out that, in a similar situation, they could fire a 470kg weight at it, and simply knock it off course.

Spoiler: A 470kg weight

Spoiler: Ahem.

 

[Keystone]

Here I was thinking this whole Congressional run was going to be the only milk we'd get out of him for a while. I love how this guy continually does stupid shit that outshines the previous thing he did

Never change, John Flynt.

Brianna Wu also tweeted before erasing it that fusion power would soon allow people to launch rocks from the moon.
We are not close to developing fusion engines, and that there is already strong pushback towards the idea of fusion engines.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

You just know that tonnes of people sent her "I'm sorry you're this stupid" emails.

Enough to destroy the moon in her mind, perhaps?

 

[The Flynt's Stones]

We need a new name for the article of this in the wikia

Brianna moonsplains to Phil Plait, an actual astrophysicist.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MR FUSION ISNT A THING YET? ITS CURRENT YEAR! SNARL.

the moon is so strategic im sure you can survive up there breathing the moons air, growing crops and building homes, and not once needing anything from earth....oh....wait..its just a big rock...

Personally, I'd put it like this: The moon is of such unquestionably high strategic value, the last time someone set a foot on it was during Nixon's presidency.

Also, one thing that I can't stress enough, in order to make this work, you'd have to accelerate several million tons of mass to a speed of 2.4 km/s minimum to hit earth.
The energy that would be required to do this is an absurdly high number. Essentially, you'd equally need several millions tons of fuel, and that is assuming you can even strap enough rocket engines to the moon rock in the first place so you can actually produce more thrust than an ants fart.
And then, you'd merely cruise along at a leisurely stroll of 2.4km/s... At 16km/s, the distance from Moon to Earth would take 8 hours, so it would take this thing forever to reach us - not only would it be rather obvious years in advance before anyone would ever be ready to "drop the rock", the moment they actually do so, we'd have roughly a day to react.

Yeah, that's my favorite part of this whole thing. Even if we assume we've magically got a moon rock all lined up in space, ready to "fire", it's still massively more efficient to just use all that energy to blow stuff up the old-fashioned way. Hell, why not just drop all that rocket fuel directly on your enemy and light it?

But, dude, it's gps satellites are threatened by moon attack, which is so much easier to do from 200000 miles away.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

The amount of fuel required to perform a moon rock drop would probably be enough to Exterminatus the entire Earth a couple times over, at which point you don't need the fucking rock!

Haha, I saw the image in the sidebar and was wondering if it was shooped. Lol, no, it's real. An engineer innocently wonders why we can't just drop something off the moon, like a penny off the Eiffel Tower, and have it hit the ground like a nuclear bomb. This "engineer", also a "politician", then warns of the dire threat of Elon Musk going up there to drop stones of mass destruction.

The last organisation to go to the Moon had thousands of nuclear weapons, and the expedition was intended to one-up the other major global superpower and to show off the fearsome capabilities of their launch vehicles for their doomsday devices. But no, corporations are going to realise the fastest way to turn a profit is to go to the Moon and drop megaton-rated bricks onto the cities where their competitors are based.

Happy belated Lunar Troon Year!

A bag of marbles thrown by a rocket could cause more danger than dropping fucking moon on it.

It's almost like baselessly claiming to be an engineer doesn't actually make you an engineer

 

[AnOminous]

That's because there's literally nothing of any importance there. There is nothing on the Moon that we don't already have down here, because it was probably just a big chunk of the Earth that got broken off billions of years ago anyway.
