    His shield was really fancy, to be fair. The main lesson is that when you dip your baby in invincibility juice you need to swap the ankle you’re holding them by and dip again.

      Eh, just wait for the hair to grow out, then hold the baby by the hair, dip it, then you shave the hair off.

      Boom, done.

        They all lived on islands. Surely they had fishing nets close by? Put baby in a net, dip and strain like baby is some freshly cooked noodle.

      Why not dip your hand in the water also? What was the issue with doing that?

        I think it was actually that you wouldn’t be harmed, but by being fully submerged, it would kill the person going in.

      Or just hold him upright and dip both his feet in the water first before flipping him upside down to flip again.

      But wouldn’t that double the invincibility and cancel out so you get a guy that can be harmed everywhere except the heel?

        Ok, so you dip them, switch heels and dip again, then hold both and dip again. Then you get full coverage.

        Considering Turkey carried out a genocide on the Greek people of Asia Minor I would hope nobody doubts that.

          The foundational myth of Turkey revolves around the time Greece tried to genocide them immediately after forming from the ruins of the Ottomans, based on a (then) century old irredentist screed.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Turkish_War_(1919–1922)

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megali_Idea

          The last time this was seriously pushed has been a bit though, when a literal fascist junta overthrew Greek democracy after they didn’t like an election.

          That junta was the cause of the Cyprus crisis, after they planned to genocide the Turks living on the island and seize it entirely… And of course, after Turkey crushed those clowns, they immediately tried to seize Cyprus for themselves.

          The point isn’t that Turkey is innocent, the Pontic genocide might have been started by the Ottomans but Ataturk certainly didn’t bother stopping it, it’s that pretending they’re the sole aggressor in this feud because of a century old crime with no attention paid to Greek reprisals is showing a very obvious, and very obviously sourced, bias.

    Technically true: the success rate of hitting missiles with missiles will never be 100%. And even if the defender is successful he will have lost at least 2 missiles for each one incoming. Which is a win for the attacker.

    The name is quite fitting.

      No your perspective is all wrong. Those are normal sized boats. They shrunk the country to make it easier to protect.
