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

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

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

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

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@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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.

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.

ouch, right in the masculinity

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 2 months 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

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?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

She wants her own space lasers

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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

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

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, your friend and Wilhelm Reich.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (3 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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you shoot a rocket into the air that contains a lot of water and then it rains that's not really modifying the weather that's just a very complicated sprinkler system.

If "they" can control the weather, why haven't "they" incinerated Trump with a flash of lightning on one of his rallies?

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

EDIT: didn't realize what the post was specifically about, just wanted to share a cool fact. Sorry abt that.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure you know this isn't what the idiot in the post meant.

But it is right, sure.

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.

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

what the fuck why are they out of order

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Elon is an idiot? Beyond that, I have no idea.

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

Thaddeus Q. They terminated his weather control experiments in the late nineties. Everyone knows that. It's why the weather was normal until after 9/11 destroyed the transmitter.

[–] oldfaintinggoat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Sure they can, all it takes is a sharpie!

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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.
