There (shouldn't) be any blast from the gun firing released inside the tank itself. So, you've got vibration that'll pass through the water. It might increase that, but that's not direct exposure to the blast.
There's still air around the muzzle. Maybe water makes up some of the distance, but there is still a buffer of compressable air in there.
I'm not sure that it wouldn't cause problems, but I'm not sure that it wouldn't, either. I don't think that it'd just be the "depth charge near people in the water" issue.
EDIT: Though some artillery has that recoil-compensating mechanism where the breach moves back when the gun fires. I dunno whether that's true of the main gun on an MBT, but if so, that might cause issues.

Yeah, here's an Abrams doing it. That might suck.
I'm pretty sure that the commenter isn't American, as he's using spaces as a numeric group separator.

About
"Raise Your Dongers" is a catchphrase coined by the League of Legends (LoL) player Michael Santana, better known by his online handle Imaqtipie, that is associated with the champion character Heimerdinger. Although its precise meaning is unclear, the phrase has since been adopted by his fans on the live video chatting service Twitch Chat, along with its emoticon form "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ."
Origin
According to Redditor Cosmoviking,[5] Santana would often play the LoL champion character Heimerdinger, whom he initially nicknamed "donger." Santana subsequently used the phrase "dongsquad" as a password for his subscribers, which fans began spamming in Twitch TV along with the code-term "420", in a similar vein to the expression "420 blaze it".
Spread
On April 8th, Santana posted a tweet which included the hashtags "#dongsquad" and "#FrankerZ."
On April 28th, 2013, League of Legends Forums[2] member TheeSeacow created a thread asking for someone to explain the story behind "dong squad 420," to which several users cited Santana's Twitch Chat as the origin of the phrase. On May 24th, a T-shirt featuring an illustration of Santana with the word "Dongsquad" underneath (shown below) was placed for sale on the LoL player website Team-Dignitas.[6]
On June 17th, Santana tweeted the message "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ raise your dongers," which received over 130 retweets and 70 favorites within the first week.
On June 20th, League of Legends Forums[1] member iJamioo started a thread requesting an explanation for the meaning of "raise your dongers." The same day, a Facebook[9] page titled "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Raise Ur Dongersヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ" was launched. On June 22nd, Redditor Spenceful submitted a post titled "ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ" to the /r/nocontext[7] subreddit, accumulating upwards of 400 up votes and 20 comments in 48 hours. On July 21st, YouTuber DumiPL uploaded a dubstep music video titled "The Raise of the Donger" (shown below), featuring various Heimerdinger gameplay footage. On October 20th, Urban Dictionary[8] user Lized submitted an entry for "donger," containing several different ASCII art copypastas.
I assume that in the context of the larger Alexa quote, it's a play off "raising shields", a sort of pop sci-fi thing that one does on a spaceship akin to the other things that Alexa is referencing.

Reciting the code to Google Assistant will cause it to say either "Cheat mode enabled.", "You destroyed the Vile Red Falcon and saved the universe. Consider yourself a hero" with a trophy emoji or a similar response.[43]
Reciting the code to Apple's virtual assistant Siri will cause her to give one of three responses: "Cheater!", "Nerd." or "I'm getting dizzy...".
Reciting the code to Amazon's Alexa will cause her to say: "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! Great job, you've secured all the power-ups!", "Sorry, so close, no power-ups for you." or "Super Alexa mode, activated. Starting reactors, online. Enabling advanced systems, online. Raising dongers. Error. Dongers missing. Aborting."[45]
Future archeologists were very confused.
Speaking as someone who is on an instance (lemmy.today) that ran into a bunch of breakage from the 0.19.X releases, and which still isn't fully resolved, and where the instance admin said that he wished that he could downgrade to 0.18.X but couldn't due to schema changes, I strongly endorse a conservative approach. The releases have not really met the bar that one might want for stability.
That's especially true for lemmy.world, since it hosts a large chunk of the Fediverse communities, and if it has serious problems, there are gonna be spillover effects even on users elsewhere. I'd wait until less-critical instances have been the guinea pig for a bit on releases.
I just have a concern about fan noise and was wondering how loud or quiet these things are since I will be sitting next to it all day when working. It doesn’t need to be silent, since nothing else in the rack, though currently nothing like the levels of typical rack equipment.
Not really what you're asking for, but there are enclosed racks with sound isolation. Though they are a bit pricey, to my way of thinking.
here’s no decent way to simultaneously hold it without dropping it and contort your fingers into the quintuple jointed clawlike posture required to hit the lower row and spacebar.
Use an onscreen keyboard that doesn't extend to the edge of the screen? Or get a case that adds size to the phone?
The most-recent release of lemmy dicked up outbound federation pretty badly on the instance I use.
While it might work in the OS, setting the OS up may be a pain (the installer may or may not work like that) and I strongly suspect that the BIOS can't handle it.
I suspect that an easier route would be to use a cheap, maybe older, low-end graphics card for the video output and then using DRI_PRIME with that with the other graphics card.
If you're an instance admin, yes.
If you mean that you personally just don't want, as a user, to see content from that instance, then no, but shortly. kbin has had the ability for users to block seeing content from particular instances for a while; lemmy has not, but I understand that it's in the next release.
Hmm. Lemmy should probably canonicalize that.
I don't think that any single score is going to make everyone happy.
Maybe if there are multiple user-scoring systems run by various sources, and I can choose which score I want to use as a metric.
Like, I think that the Marxist-Leninist crowd on some of the left-wing instances is bonkers, but I imagine that they'd say the same thing about me or other people who subscribe to mainstream economics in general. You're not going to find a Single Source of Truth on that matter.
Well, they aren't blocking it now.
The instance I use -- lemmy.today, located US West Coast -- has an explict part of the server policy that they want to try avoiding defederation with instances, and at the moment, have no blocked instances.
I've got no idea where you're located, but if that's near you and lemmy.world does block something that you don't want blocked, might as well try lemmy.today.
Eh, IRC and Usenet were both federated systems that had a ton of technical issues when they kicked off that got fixed over time via protocol and code changes. I would guess that discoverability is probably one of the things that'll be improved -- right now, using the Lemmy Explorer is kind of an important tool for people using small instances.

I don't think that that's the end-all-be-all of discoverability, but it works well enough for me now.
The worst that can happen is that if your instance admin decides to ban Threads and you want to federate with Threads, you’ll have to switch instances.
Honestly, the lack of cross-instance account portability is one of the major issues that I think the Fediverse has today.
I'd rather have some sort of public-private key system to permit for moving across instances and being able to associate accounts.
I mean they haven’t infiltrated the private phpbb forum me and my friends have been running since 2008, for the simple reason that they aren’t invited.
Mark Zuckerberg smiled to himself. Nobody knew that he was DarkWolf47.
I have no problem going back down to pre-2019 levels where it’s just a few hundred of us, chatting and sharing #caturday pictures.
IRC did do that on a few cases, where one federated IRC network had irreconciliable differences with another and you had a split, with a new IRC network forming.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFnet
EFnet or Eris-Free network is a major Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network, with more than 35,000 users.[1] It is the modern-day descendant of the original IRC network.
In July 1996, disagreement on policy caused EFnet to break in two: the slightly larger European half (including Australia and Japan) formed IRCnet, while the American servers continued as EFnet. This was known as The Great Split.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undernet
Undernet was established in October 1992 by Danny Mitchell, Donald Lambert, and Laurent Demally as an experimental network running a modified version of the EFnet irc2.7 IRCd software, created in an attempt to make it less bandwidth-consumptive and less chaotic, as netsplits and takeovers were starting to plague EFnet.[4] The Undernet IRC daemon became known as "ircu". Undernet was formed at a time when many small IRC networks were being started and subsequently disappearing; however, it managed to grow into one of the largest and oldest IRC networks despite some initial in-fighting and setbacks. For a period in 1994, Undernet was wracked by an ongoing series of flame wars. Again in 2001, it was threatened by automated heavy spamming of its users for potential commercial gain. Undernet survived these periods relatively intact and its popularity continues to the present day.
