        They’re fun as fuck.

        Some of the best pics I have are from an air show! f35

        F-22 for life lol, 2000s era Lockheed tincan doesn’t even look good after they threw all my tax money at it.

      See also: monster trucks, demolition derbies, fireworks, contact sports, and so much more. Wasteful and dangerous? Yep. Fun? Also yep.

        Fucking hate it when I go to the air show and the plane sucks up my internal American flag spirit straight out of my mouth

        Nothing outs a shit human faster than their use of memes that rely on negative stereotypes of the mentally challenged in an effort to insult their opponent. If you can’t craft an insult that doesn’t use a vulnerable section of humanity as the root, fuck off.

        If they were free and couldn’t kill anyone etc.

        Relatively intriguing 6-foot-tall bipeds are able to travel through the air in such a manner

        reminded of comic

        comic: “I WISH THAT I COULD GO BACK IN TIME SO I COULD BLOW EVERYBODY'S MINDS WITH MY INCREDIBLE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUTURE! SO HOW DO YOU MAKE ONE OF THESE "CELL-PHONES"? I DON'T KNOW”

        Obviously not advocating for anything

        Just “how’d humans engineer that! I couldn’t build a good bike!”

      there are plenty of things which are fun to watch which didn’t involve spending billions of tax dollars on killing machines
