      The meme is fucking wrong.

      Catapults and ballistas are different, not because of how they store the energy, but how the throw the projectile. A catapult throws it off a holder and a ballista shoots in down a track.

      It’s a goddamn catapult. I will not tolerate factual inaccuracy for the sake of a funny meme.
