I had a realization this morning. Why are we bothering to bomb

Geologist here.

The problem is rocks stick around after you drop them. So you've just armed the survivors and they're pissed, you can expect those rocks dropped on you the first chance they get.

Use ice instead.

>>8306025
I know this is a bad attempt at a joke but the cost of explosives is trivial compared to the cost of delivery among other factors that make this awfully expensive and ineffective.

>>8306034
Iceman here.

The problem is ice melts into water, which they can drink and use for more irrigation, Hence increasing their number.

Use dry ice instead.

>>8306034
If you use ice there's the chance that you're arming them with water. Then all it takes is them getting their hands on some refrigerant, and oh man, then we'll really have to watch out.

>>8306025
Precisely because the military industrial complex wants you and your government to feed it and has the influence to make it a reality.

Just how stupid are you?

>>8306156
I don't know.

>>8306041
why don't we drop ice on them (first hit), and then run a current through the water when it melts(secondary damage)?

>>8306041
Chemist here
The problem with dry ice is it's a dangerous chemical that can be used to create meth. We need something we can drop on them that does damage and also just sort of blows up and doesn't leave a trace...

>>8306306
Drop water on them and THEN lots of potassium

>>8306310
Or just aluminium and then iron oxide.

>>8306306
>>8306310
>>8306314
Why don't we drop uranium?

>>8306331
Too expensive and dangerous.

>>8306331
This. It's a heavy element, we could cut out the steel crates entirely.

>>8306334
We can just use particle accelerators to make more and it'll be cheap in no time.

>>8306331
We should make it explode too. Let's call it the big bang bomb.

>>8306348
What about an A-bomb, because people go 'AAAAAAA' before it hits them.

>>8306251
one stupid or two?

>>8306367
Both and neither.

We do exactly this, pic and link related

With GPS guidance they can be quite lethal

it's very expensive to fly our super advanced super expensive planes, so we need to use expensive shitpost shitpost shitpost shitpost shitpost

I agree. We should invest in just walking there instead.

Eliminate a lot of the overhead.

You guys are way overthinking this. I personally just take a breadknife and slice open their throats. Coast: a breadknife.

You can even steal the breadknife, then it's for free.

And yes, DOD has already hired me to implement this terrific plan. Patents and shit.

Steal a predator missile

>>8306355
Really we should make bombs for all the letters, to sabotage enemy communications

>>8306484
Steal this

Just drop some ebola.
It's super effective and cost little.

>>8306512
Why does your dick have a zipper on it?

>>8306025
I saw a friend do this.

He was playing the original Civilization game, and badly behind his opponents. He had catapults, and he produced a number of diplomats to steal technology. He stole both railroads and advanced flight. I imagine that his bombers were powered by steam and dropped rocks. He made a brilliant comeback.

>>8306025
We used to hurl rocks at our enemies (see catapults) but we discovered that it would be more effective if our rocks exploded, thus we have bombs.
