🚨☠️🚨WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!🚨☠️🚨They say I'm a conspiracy theorist but what they won't tell you is these machines are just larger versions of stuff we use everyday. Your car; your oven/stove; your lawn mower; the list goes on.

If that doesn't frighten you get this; the government has released data showing that the clean air you breathe changes inside of your body so that when you breath out it is getting used to alter the climate.

I HAVE THE PROOF!!!!! IM IN DEEP HIDING SO THEY WONT FIND ME!!!! I WILL KEEP SPEAKING OUT UNTIL EVERYONE KNOWS THE TRUTH!!!!!

FUCK YOU OPEC!!!!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!!

"Humans can control the weather but also definitely didn't cause climate change" haha

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

Can't be a coincidence that these oil rigs are in the Gulf of MEXICO, creating storms to illegally cross our borders.

Or...

Dems are trying to assassinate TRUMP again with this sad, pitiful storm. Never seen one more pitiful. Mar a Lago is great. Really great. Trump will ride out this hurricane. Never fear.

It was me. Every day of the past summer, I turned on my AC, opened all the windows, and ran every appliance at full tilt. Sorry, I just want to watch the world burn.

(shut up, it's a joke)

How much was your hypothetical electric/gas bill?

Enough to break the ice

I wonder how the one-time burst release of carbon from hitting one of these odious things with a fucking bazooka would compare to the prevented lifetime emissions

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

The vehicle will have to be disposed of at the end of its lifetime anyway.

What it will affect is the reduced carbon from a shorter use time, and kill the oxygen waster inside. Overall a net positive.

Ermagaherd*, why is fuel so expensive?! Stupid dems, I have to feed my 8 foot per gallon brodozer!

Modern conservatism in a nutshell:

Everything was just fine yesterday. What did you guys do to screw it up for me?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That, combined with the need for simple answers to extremely complex problems..

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I can smell it through the picture

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Indiana has no emissions standards.

Guess what I see all the fucking time?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

barely matters. These assholes would just remove the filter after the test anyway. Texan here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not usually one to call for "nanny" laws or regulations but those types of situations are just the perfect excuse for having filters trapped in a captive device that can only be opened by licensed mechanics. Sure there would likely end up being a grey or black market of third party workaround devices. It happens in any situation with regulations. Its just ridiculous that the knuckleheads are able to make and keep enough money to spend on some of the more ridiculous clown monster trucks on public roads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure how you plan to do that in a way that can't be defeated by an angle grinder.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Guess what I see all the fucking time?

Okay, wild guess: pornography?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

No we're talking about a different kind of emissions

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean... that too, but that has nothing to do with vehicle emission standards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah but it skewed my wife’s emission standards she sets on me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Then which emissions are we talking about 🫣

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Don't fuck a car's tailpipe. Or at least wait until it's cooled off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Cars with emissions?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Who is starting this weather machine bullshit and why are some of my family members believing this? Why is it so hard for people to identify when they are being lied to?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It’s GDI propaganda!!! Weather storm machines exist

  • NOD conspiracy believer probably
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably the government to redirect attention somewhere else

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

...a government... It's not your government that benefits from domestic chaos

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's not domestic chaos if the government controls the narrative

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It popped up during the Obama era with HAARP, a scientific research station in Alaska that monitors the ionosphere. Wingnuts claimed it was a weather control machine; they claimed the increase in disastrous weather wasn't because of global warming, but because HAARP was causing storms so Democrats could take over and institute Full Communism.

It disappeared from the right wing zeitgeist for a while, but recently got revived by Marjorie Taylor-Greene. Anything to pretend their own actions aren't at fault.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I just want to add that the HAARP conspiracy theories are way older. i read about it mid of the 90s. Already back then it was a weather control machine / earthquake generator / mind control device / magnetic pole flipper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I also remember seeing a scene in a science fiction movie that had an apparent HAARP facility firing some weird laser system and having it actually do some type of weather or space manipulation. So it's been in the public eye for a long time as some major conspiracy theory. I just wish I could remember what the movie was.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Was it called "The Core"?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure Mulder makes a joke about it in X-Files.

And dolphins don't count! Or any sea creature in the Gulf of Mexico while we're at it.
