I've heard so many right wingers claim that Californians aren't real americans, and yet here they are trying to shoot their way out of the consequences of large scale systemic failures.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

It's still the south just without the foghorn leghorn accent.

Awesome pfp. is that the moment his wife defied him and went out in public fully clothed?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately California is flipped. Which sucks because NorCal has awesome forests. Well for now at any rate.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago

Aim that thing at the fossil fuel companies that literally gaslighted the public for decades.

[-] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

If you're going to do that, may as well get Coleman first. They're still gaslighting people.

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 0 points 1 week ago

They are just on a war against Big Oxygen. They'll stop lighting the gas after it's finished.

Kerbal players, knowing the delta-v to approach the sun: ... (completely unimpressed-face at a bullet flopping into the ground less than a km away)

[-] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

And even if that bullet traveled at escape velocity it would only end up in a slightly more eccentric orbit. If my mental model is right, they would have to wait until a bit after sunset and shoot straight up to send it in the right direction while encountering the least atmospheric drag.

Maybe you shouldn't live in a desert that's on a massive deadly fault line then.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There's more water in SoCal than Central Valley. And we can always Solar->Desalination. Unlike the poor bastards in Phoenix who are just going to run out in a few years.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

What? Source that SoCal has more than the San Joaquin…unless you mean they’ve already pumped way too much water out of the valley. Hell, there’s water piped from the Valley to L.A., so if SoCal has that much water they shouldn’t need Valley water?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

No, I got my geography screwed up. So I'll just describe it from the map. There's a line of hills/mountains east of LA and SD that scrape water out of the sky for the coast. On the East side it's much drier but they've got farms all through there and a couple towns.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I really don’t know where you’re getting your info. I grew up in CA and there’s no way SoCal gets more water of any kind unless it’s piped in. This precip map also proves that. The Sierras and Northern California get way more rain/snow than the San Gabriel or Bernardino mountains “scrape” out of the sky. The Sierras are a huge range compared to them, and when they do get snow, that water feeds into the lakes and rivers in the Valley. The precipitation map clearly shows SoCal can’t match any precipitation further up the state past Tehachapi.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I was thinking about LA and SD compared to the area directly east of them. Which it strikes me now that both areas are SoCal.

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

Same here in Finland. Never could have I imagined that it's September and +26 outside!

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

Fucking 33C today here in germany. I hope every climate change denier has to spend a week doing manual labor in this insanity

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I just looked at Phoenix and the night time low is 32 C. High is 44.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

My condolences... do you guys like, work at night? 44C sounds completely intolerable to me lol

[-] Tower@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Nope. Just keep pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere by running our air conditioners 24/7. I'm sure it'll be fine...

A few days ago it was a refreshing 8° in Trondheim/Norway, now it's 22°.

[-] blackluster117@possumpat.io 6 points 1 week ago

Honestly, in my neck of SoCal, it's the humidity as much as the heat. I keep going to bed in 80-90% humidity and waking up wet.

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Are you implying those two things are related?

[-] blackluster117@possumpat.io 6 points 1 week ago

Well I'm not pissing myself, so...

[-] sjkhgsi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had

[-] gamenac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And now it's playing on a loop in my head. I'm not even mad about it.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

The entire Southwest. Arizona has had over 100 days in a row of 100+ temperatures.

We're ready for the orbital solar power shade.

Even the Saguaros are too hot.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Can you imagine how bad it would be if people just took there guns and fired at the sun? It would be raining bullets

Rise Against — Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

[-] Aielman15@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I used to listen to Rise Against a lot when I was younger. I pivoted to other genres since then, but reading their lyrics again was super nostalgic. Thank you.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

They would be fighting in the shad... wait, wrong meme.
