I wonder who "they" are in this case? The Jews with the space lasers?

kinda, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding

TLDR: takes bunch of little bits of water in a cloud and turns it into bigger drips of water in cloud -> too heavy and falls as rain

[–] mriormro 1 points 7 hours ago

Is this how they turn the frogs gay?

[–] Dorkyd68 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

To a very low extent she's somewhat correct. I'll preface by say mtg is an idiot

Cloud seeding is a thing where an aircrafct drops something into clouds and it somewhat adjusts the type of precipitation. And nasa has a machine that simulates extremely loud rockets and it shoots out a mix of hydrogen and oxygen "h2o?" and it creates a cloud that will actually rain. However this is only done in one place i know of and is somewhere in the middle of nowhere Mississippi.

To what extent does mtg think weather can be controlled or created is the question and i imagine she's implying we can steer a hurricane or send tornados to our enemies

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, I'd say that they (an in governments or those with enough money+power) can influence the weather, but full control is still not possible

Oh my god I thought it was fake

Ever heard of tripling down

We're out here doing rain dances every day.

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 15 hours ago

Oh, so you're They.

Someone needs to remind the slowest member of Congress again about the difference between fiction and nonfiction. There's no Flash Rogue's Gallery villains hiding in a secret base somewhere.

Technically, we do have the ability to control the weather. We’re currently warming the earth but nuclear winter is always available!

[–] chiliedogg 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No. We can control the climate, not the weather. We can make flooding and draughts more likely, but cannot pick a date and time.

[–] piecat 5 points 13 hours ago

We can seed clouds but that's about it... And even that is just precipitating existing humidity. We can't create rain if the air is dry.

We also can't, for example, make it snow in summer, create or control tornados, lightning, hurricanes, hail, etc.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I'd say we affect the weather, but we don't seem to be in control.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

What is this, AA for climate engineering?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Yea there’s a bit of hysteresis in this system.

[–] hOrni 22 points 1 day ago

Don't give them ideas. You think people who wanted to inject bleach won't consider this as a viable option?

[–] EleventhHour 12 points 1 day ago

Thanks, Leela

[–] [email protected] 81 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, the libs are causing superstorms, melting glaciers, and record-high heat every year. It’s all part of a secret plan to make everyone get rid of oil and drive electric cars, because electric cars turn people gay.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ouch, right in the masculinity

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Studies showed that acceleration not making a sound makes men crave cock and women crave vagina. Elon Musk and George Soros had those studies suppressed. Do your research.

We are a month away from an election, please add sarcasm marks if applicable.

doh: /s

[–] Mango 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There is a way to provoke rain, but that's about it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 19 hours ago

Oi rain, I shagged yer mum

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this how an idiot comes to terms with climate change?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

Nah, weather can be made by humans, climate can't, not even by THEM ^tm^ it is all natural! /s

[–] Blue_Morpho 37 points 1 day ago

Marjorie Taylor Green admits she's an atheist! Because she believes They are more powerful than God.

Or it was God's plan for Them to do it?

And what's with MGT using pronouns?

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

It’s batshit crazy that we let this batshit crazy individual own guns.

[–] EleventhHour 37 points 1 day ago

She’s part of our government. I consider that far more dangerous.

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

She wants her own space lasers

[–] hOrni 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not a real thing, is it? I honestly don't know, anything seems possible with these people.

Thanks. Lemmy sometime tells me my screen caps are too big like in this case

[–] hOrni 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Holy shit. "Space laser at our soth border". Does she think the south border is in orbit? Does she think illegal aliens means invaders from space? She saw Aliens, and thought it's a documentary. I bet when she says "our troops" she means Bill Paxton and Michael Biehn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Well the situation i believe we have here is that she doesn’t think

[–] kautau 5 points 1 day ago

lol this is so dumb. We did give Israel a fuck ton of money to develop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Beam

But it’s basically a laser version of iron dome

I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything remotely intelligent from her

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My friend owned a car wash he worked on a home made weather dominator. It's actually quite easy all you need is some rubber bands, duct tape, a piece of posiedens trident, gods blessing, a demon turtle named frank who only eats out on Sundays but not every Sunday and my father who went for milk and never came back. Unfortunately he couldn't find the rubber bands so it never came to fruition.

Ohhh I will never side with Marge, but is that really her account? The username has an extra E? Honest question and I don’t have twitter.

Don't expect to see that tweet because it shows them all out of order now.

"They" only allow meteorologists to report weather and weatherologists to predict the meteors.
