Meme Thread... no politics

TIL about gigachad.  Thanks!

In reply to Duke :

There's also the absurdly, overly sculpted "Average Enjoyer" guy from the Average Fan vs. Average Enjoyer meme, a format that negatively compares fans of a certain thing to fans of another thing, referring to the latter as "enjoyers" or "appreciators." Ususally pokes fun at the diehards who takes thing too seriously, versus those who are more casual and relaxed, and therefore get more enjoyment

The bottom one was made by a major manufacturer. The upper one was the Accuracy International PM, which was basically built by three guys in a garage and submitted for the trials for the new British military sniper rifle, almost as a joke. They dominated the competition, won the contract as the L96A1, and then went "Oh, E36 M3, we have to build tons of these". The military sent out some requisition lieutenants to pick up some, and these guys rented out a large shop, scattered around what they had built and some tooling and parts, and these three were like "Oh, we definitely have more employees, they just all are at lunch right now." The military eventually got wise to them, and ended up subcontracting it out to an actual company, which almost tanked the L96A1 because they had serious quality issues, before getting it all sorted out.

The Canadian military would happily buy all of the used bottom ones they could get their hands on.

Then spend millions making them work.
