On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.

My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.

    My name is a reference to the famous British tank gun and anti-tank gun from WW2. Used in tanks and as standalone anti-tank guns. Put in the Sherman tank to create the Sherman Firefly because it packed more of a punch against enemy armour than the American 75mm.

      “Sir, the 17 pounder won’t fit!”

      “Put it in sideways.”

      “The radio won’t fit!”

      “Cut a hole in the back and have it stick out the back.”

      “The engine’s no good!”

      “Grab 5 car engines and stick them in together.”
