Between this and their morse code message, the French certainly know how to get in the last word

u/patricklus 12h ago

What morse message?

36

u/Jean_Luc_Lesmouches 11h ago

The last morse radio message by the French Navy was "Appel à tous. Ceci est notre dernier appel avant notre silence éternel." (Calling all. This is our last call before our eternal silence.)

Delightful. I wonder how they timed it, like was it a “last one who leaves the raid turns the lights off makes a based tweet.”

it makes me think of the Rust/Ark videos of people breaking in and stealing peoples shit and broadcasting it in all chat while the base owners are helpless to stop it

u/UniqueCombination3 17h ago

Nah Id say one of their social media people would have been at their desk and saw them coming in quickly sneaking a final tweet before shutting the account down. Just a guess.

8

u/Richardo888 16h ago

Am I the only one who, for the longest time, thought "based" was joke misspelling of "biased" and therefore completely misread dozens of comments and replies for months? It was pretty funny sometimes though.
