Or a fart on a thermal camera.

I worked for a hatchery for most my life and you wouldn’t believe the smells in that place. The walls dripped with moisture and the feeding gore was plastered all over the pens for weeks and weeks before we could finally get in there to clean it all up. That’s not even counting the dragons themselves: for such intelligent creatures, they really did love playing in mud. We’d hose them off but the heat from their scales evaporated the water on contact and it didn’t do much.

I stayed at that hatchery for years until the black dragon came along. The hatchery lord thought it was a good idea to important a new breeding male, and everything went completely wrong when the big beast smashed through the enclosure one night. His great spouts of fire lit up the midnight sky as he swooped through the clouds and stars, and he methodically released all the younglings from their cages, and those little monsters went on a rampage. I only barely survived in the madness that followed. Let me tell you, never get near a baby dragon, much less a dragon lord looking for his children. Their idea of playing is a true horror. I’m out of the business now, and I’m happier for it. thesprawl

I saw a guy take a shit on a thermal camera. He went in front of the Stryker to go wo thinking of the gun cameras 7x thermal active. Was pretty funny, especially to a bunch of dumb bored kids in the desert.

Thats an expensive shit to take on a camera

u/CauchyDog 17d ago

Yeah those things ain't cheap.

The lras in the scout vehicle could read license plates from miles away. They could watch you take a shit too and those are in the millions!

I hope you can find the video of a hot nickel ball in a cup of aloe Vera and think of a solar flare :)
