A point about World War helmets

>>1858526
I'm no expert, but I thought they were mainly intended to reduce the amount of wounds from shrapnel?

lindy pls go

If you look about 30 seconds into the video it says they werent designed for bullets. This is basically a retarded bait thread, report and ignore it and if you really have to autistically comment remember to sage.

>first words in the video "helmets were not bulletproof"

Is this a very good countertrolling of the recent threads of people not even watching the videos before commenting on them, or just more of the same?

They could stop a .45 ACP from point blank range and a rifle round from something like 700 yards, but calling them bullet-proof is really stretching it.

Lindy's own fault for having clickbait titles. There wouldn't be time in the world to watch every retard's youtube video in the hopes that the title just ends up being clickbait and not a genuine and absolutely stupid statement continued in the video. Clickbait is inappropriate for the youtube format.

Except these threads are not about "every" youtube video, they're about Lindybeige. Consistent threads, every time there's a new video.

Noone is talking about that random guy screaming into a microphone that people who say fire in relation to arrows are morons. They're talking about Lindybeige. So perhaps watching the Lindybeige videos and finding out what he really says, before a 90754 post argument about what he didn't actually say, might be a good idea?

Anything else is basically saying that you should argue from a position of ignorance, because ain't nobody got time fo 3 minute youtube videos.

Thats how memes work.

>>1858639

Memes work by people not actually looking at the meme, but pissing and moans about what someone else said about the meme?

>So perhaps watching the Lindybeige videos...might be a good idea?
No.

>>1858648

Memes work by spaming stuff.
Months ago the youtuber who was bumped everysingle day was Dan Carlin, now its the turn of Lndy Bage.

>>1858669

But the people who spammed HH were actually fans of the show and were raving about it. They weren't endlessly arguing about what he did or didn't say, in podcasts they hadn't actually listened to.

Unless you're saying that NOT watching Lindybeige, is now a meme?

> it's another Lindley Beige thread
Browsing his is like being stuck in a circle of hell.

>>1858676

His name is a meme.
Its just spammed, thats the meme.

>>1858686

Spam is stuff that's spammed. A meme is more than spam.

Is the porn that some faggot has been posting all morning now a meme?

>>1858688

An attemp, yes.

>>1858574
Well most of his videos don't have clickbait titles (with some exceptions of course). It's just shitheads that change the title or the description to fool people who make no attempt to watch the video. I guess he said something they didn't agree with so they feel the need to misquote him on every single video.

The problem is, Lindybeige does say a lot of retarded crap in his videos. And when that happens a few times, you start getting the not entirely unreasonable assumption of

>He's just a loud idiot on youtube sperging about shit.

So when you see a new title about the latest retarded claim, you think "Well, yeah, it fits", instead of bothering to investigate further to see if THIS time he actually says something sensible as opposed to stupid.

Most helmets are for shrapnel and bullets that have lost most energy or make glancing hits, any of which would be lethal to the bare head.

Even modern helmets are not 'bulletproof' in the sense they can take a direct shot, there are lots of photos of helmets from all nations shot clean through.
