Wikipedia disagrees:

Depleted uranium is favored for the penetrator because it is self-sharpening[36] and flammable.[32] On impact with a hard target, such as an armored vehicle, the tip of the projectile will be "mushroomed",[37] while the back of the projectile is still a rigid solid. This leads to adiabatic shearing, and together with the spin of the projectile results in a shedding of the mushroomed plastic phase in such a way that it forms a new sharp tip. This shedding of the mushroomed tip improves penetration properties compared to the complete dispersal that takes place with tungsten penetrators,[38] therefore DU penetrators are 20% more effective than tungsten rounds.[39] The impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to ignite when in contact with oxygen.[32] When a DU penetrator reaches the interior of an armored vehicle, it catches fire, often igniting ammunition and fuel and possibly causing the vehicle to explode.[39] DU is used by the U.S. Army in 120 mm or 105 mm cannons employed on the M1 Abrams tank.

Doesn't the fact that chameleons can famously change their colour at will kind of undermine the message here?

It’s just social commentary in the form of a juvenile cartoon.

From someone who really enjoys the show, this is extremely accurate.

they are an invasive species

Thats mostly false in my experience, though that will depend on the locality i guess. On the contrary, a lot of garden plants are invasive in the local ecosystem

sometimes its more important to stay true to ones principles than winning whatever game is being played.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 3 points 6 days ago

yes, but the above is clearly more than that

There are no such thing as fellow passengers, only foe passengers.

They use QMK, which really is keyboard firmware with added on mouse functionality

I dunno, the original Lotus esprit is still pretty cool in my book

 

I just noticed multiple websites show this error. This isn't just me, right?
