if only, and stay with me here, if only there was some contraption invented since we last had moats around castle, i don't know, something that can fly in the air and carry, oh i don't know, bags of shit over these moats and into the castles, maybe even more of it at the same time like swarms of bees, maybe we could even name it after them like bee, or worker, or drone, or something. that would be something, I tell ya!
Doesn't sound like any trebuchet I've ever heard of. Also plague riddled corpses work better, although they might be hard to come by nowadays.
With RFK Jr in charge of the HHS? Give it a few months and there'll be plenty.
Launch me alive and I will either fall a corpse or live long enough to see myself start a fire.
The hero we need 🤣
You'll pretty much just be a corpse, not sure what You'll accomplish. Seems a better idea to launch a bomb, or a rock.
Metal canister filled with shit and piss will work just fine too.
While we are busy building some older contraptions used in times long past: perhaps might we add an additional favorite of the french revolutionaries?
That's called a market opportunity.
