Quick Overview & Explanation: TRUE Annihilation is the Annihilation Tournament from Ashura except all characters now have more realistic attributes and abilities rather than the fantastical ones they possess in the manga. This will go through the tournament and have you, the fans, vote for who wins each match.From Round 2 onwards, this will also be factoring in how much damage the characters have received from previous fights, going into their new ones depending on how difficult their previous fights were to win.

Match 3: Yoroizuka Saw Paing (184cm, 88kg) vs. Kuroki Gensai (185cm,96kg)

Yoroizuka Saw Paing:

Changes:

• Saw's biggest and best gimmick is his incredibly durable skeleton, created from years of brutal training by breaking his bones in order to make them stronger. Now, the actual facts are when bones break, there is no evidence for them to heal back stronger (or weaker). In fact, training his skull in even a slightly similar manner as he did while he was a child (being hit in the face/head with a hammer) may have actually been more of a detriment and damaged his brain.
• One thing he can gleamed from this bone training, and his practice of lethwei, is that he's gotten used to being hit hard and fracturing some bones in fights, still willing to use his bones as defensive points to block with.
• Hammer of Burma being the most devastating move in his arsenal, can't create massive craters in the ground. He can still specialize in headbutting opponents, but it isn't a be all, end all move that can K.O anyone it lands on.
• As with everyone in this tournament, his speed, strength, and durability are going to be scaled back to actual human levels.

Damage Acquired from Previous Matches:

• Against Karo, Saw Paing took heavy hits to his arms, shoulders, and chest. He took one hit against his forehead, that resulted in some damage, and a very minor concussion. While it was a mid diff fight, Saw Paing takes every hit head on, believing in his sturdy frame, as well as having required many injuries from training his body (like getting hit in the head with a hammer). It only made sense that against a bigger, stronger person, he would take some substantial damage.
• Against Nezu, Saw Paing received some damage to his upper arms, shoulders, chest, abdominal, and slight damage to his forehead because of Nezu's long range kicks. Nezu was good; outranged him, had the reach advantage, has the he

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hello everyone, happy monday! So my wonderful wife has got me in a Himalayan mood, so this week we will meet the Tibetans of Tibet China Tibet!! #freetibet

Region: China, Tibetan Plateau

Climate: The climate is severely dry nine months of the year, and average annual snowfall is only 46 cm (18 inches), due to the rain shadow effect. Western passes receive small amounts of fresh snow each year but remain traversable all year round. Low temperatures are prevalent throughout these western regions, where bleak desolation is unrelieved by any vegetation bigger than a low bush, and where the wind sweeps unchecked across vast expanses of arid plain. The Indian monsoon exerts some influence on eastern Tibet. Northern Tibet is subject to high temperatures in the summer and intense cold in the winter.

Himalayas, on the southern rim of the Tibetan plateau

Terrain: The geography of Tibet consists of the high mountains, lakes and rivers lying between Central, East and South Asia. Most of Tibet sits atop a geological structure known as the Tibetan Plateau, which includes the Himalaya and many of the highest mountain peaks in the world. Tibet is often called "the roof of the world," comprising tablelands averaging over 4,950 meters above the sea with peaks at 6,000 to 7,500 m, including Mount Everest, on the border with Nepal.

Wildlife of Tibet: The forests of Tibet are home to black bears, red pandas, musk deer, barking deer, and squirrels. Monkeys such as rhesus macaques and langurs live in the warmer forest zones. Tibetan antelopes, gazelles, and kiangs gaze on the grasslands of the Tibetan plateau. There are more than 500 bird species in Tibet. Because of the high altitude and harsh climate, there are few insects in Tibet. Snow leopards are hunted for their fur and the eggs of black-necked cranes have been collected as a delicacy food. Tibet also has a large Yak population.

The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II. The M4 Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers. It was also the basis of several other armored fighting vehicles including self-propelled artillery, tank destroyers, and recovery vehicles. Tens of thousands were distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth and Soviet Union. The tank was named by the British for the American Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman.[citation needed]

US had heavy German immigration at the turn of the century. What if pro-German politicians come to power. During WW1 US decides to support the Central Powers as their Crown Prince had been assasinated.

US keeps selling weapons to Germany and does not recognize UK blockade of Germany. This leads to the Royal Navy sinking an American freighter bringing weapons to Germany.

US public is outraged that a civilian freighter was sunk and demands war against the UK.

The war starts in 1915 with a Naval landing against Toronto, Halifax and Vancouver along with an overland attack on Quebec City and Montreal

UK retaliates by interning Americans in Hong Kong as well as Diggers from Australia landing on Luzon. The Phillipine freedom fighters welcome the British help and soon Philippines is a UK protectorate. Guam is taken soon. A fleet is on its way to Hawaii.

Mexico now allies with Britain and turns over the Vera Cruz naval base to Triple Entente. The British Caribbean fleet moves over to Vera Cruz and proceeds to blockade Houston and New Orleans.

The British control the Caribbean but the Atlantic is contested and Canada has surrendered.

The French fleet in the Caribbean joins up at Vera Cruz and a joint command is setup. For the duration of hostilities the Dutch, Danish and French colonies are put under UK-French joint command

A landing on Cuba is accompanied by a local revolt against poor working conditions in the US Sugar plantations. Soon Cuba has a pro-UK govt. Puerto Rico is taken soon and joined with Cuba. The various Spanish speaking Central American countries join Mexico.

The US Canal Zone garrison is blockaded on the Atlantic side.

UK has meanwhile taken Hawaii and a fleet is on the way to blockade the Canal Zone from the West.

Chile now comes in on the UK side and sends its battleships North. They have a long history of cooperating with the British navy.

Meanwhile the British have been sending a couple of Divisions of troops who were sent to Serbia in OTL to Vera Cruz to defend Mexico againt US invasion. This means once Serbia falls, Greece also falls to the Bulgarians.

Bulgaria takes entire Macedonia , Turkey takes Thrace and all the Aegean islands. Austrian navy takes Crete and Cyprus and hands Cyprus over to the Turks but keeps Crete.

Austria also takes the Ionian Islands as well as the Dalmation coast.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

BamBOO!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
