When I saw this post I thought "I bet someone has helpfully commented that that armoured vehicle isn't a tank".

Sure enough.

Pedantry is so popular in anonymous spaces.

Tanks aren't what tanks were when tanks were created. But now tanks are tanks, but so are tanks.

Oh well then if we are just deciding what words mean then that in the picture is a tank.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Ok, then so are you.

I used to be a tank, then they changed what being a tank was. Now what I'm treading is a tank, and tanks seems weird and scary to me now.

The word tank was first applied in a military context to British "landships" in 1915 to keep their nature secret before they entered service.[3]
