Yeah, I'll already be dead, who cares at that point? Better than killing an animal for it?

I can't believe they even need test this shit at this point exploding thing go boom duh we know what happens.

It's not that at all. It's testing protection, safety systems, effects of weapons. Like, yeah, we know it goes boom, but is it doing more of this than that, etc? Is it more shrapnel than blast? Is it properly effective? Does this armor adequately protect this body part? Etc.

Hmmm maybe we are doing something wrong if we are having to explode of dead lady's corpse's. I'm just saying you know.

As a former Combat Engineer, I GREATLY appreciate all of the families that, intentional or not, helped with the studies that led to better protections agianst IEDs and other explosive devices.

It was thanks to their sacrifice that I dont have soup for brains.

u/KMjolnir May 06 '26

Well how else would you test with something exactly like a human? Either for weapons or for safety?

You missed the point entirely of what I'm trying to say. Not trying to be an asshole but you missed my point.

u/KMjolnir May 06 '26

Hey, if I missed it, I missed it, and thank you for being civil about it! What was the point I missed?

u/Super-G1mp May 06 '26

Why are we spending so much money and corpsess just to kill people better? The world doesn't have to be so shitty.

u/KMjolnir May 06 '26

I mean there are safety systems being tested too, was part of my point? Some may be used in military but have other applications too?

u/Super-G1mp May 06 '26

I assumed you were talking about safety systems like flack jackets and tank armor or whatever. Just going off context I didn't imagine a seat belt and thinkging about a tomahawk missile lol. But yeah it's good to have like safe seat belts things of the sort.
