The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Video games are a psyop to boomerize millennials, another generation that will end up having to be parented by their own kids.

Look I don't believe Communists have a weather machine nor do i believe one exists but I'm not going to stand here and pretend we wouldn't hit Florida over and over if we did have the capability

Same, I'd send them at Washington DC though.

Between Gordon, Francine, and Helene, we might as well call this the John Brown Stormfront.

John Brown Stormfront

both-sides

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

And I would happily hear you out on that at the next weather Council meeting

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Washington DC isn't bordered on one full side by a multi million square mile jacuzzi. If shit keeps going the way it is in terms of ocean temps sombody on the Yucatan peninsula beating the dust out of their rug in front of an AC unit is gonna send a Cat 2 our way.

A while ago, I watched a youtube video made by a lady who believed whole-heartedly in chemtrails. It was like her vlog or something. Anyway, she saw a plane gliding serenity across the sky with the "chemtrails" puffing behind it, so she went to her backyard and started spritzing this vinegar mixture she had in a spray bottle all over her yard. Apparently, to her, this busted the chemtrails purported effects.

I do wonder what the kind of person who think hurricanes are controlled by communists think they can actually do about it. The rational thing, if we suppose they believe this, would be to surrender immediately because these commies apparently can throw a mathematically maximum power hurricane at your coast at least once a month. Or do they think they can shoot the hurricane or spray vinegar at it?

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The point where you spritz vinegar against the commie-chemtrail is also the point where all rationality has went out out the window some time ago.

There's alieniation here, sure. Theres people being let down by the system but by god these people are just deeply, deeply fucking stupid. Their worldview makes 0 sense even taken on it's own terms, as pointed out here.

I fear this is not an american problem, we got these exact types of cranks over here in germany

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

We inherited it from you

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

The new age grifter community has an entire cottage industry around neutralizing chemtrails, commonly known as "cloudbusting". The vinegar spray bottle is a DIY version of that, there's also "orgon accumulators" or "amplifying towers containing ampoules of hexagonal water" or whatever these people come up with that sell for hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a piece, depending on the purported area of effect. The same "devices" (it's just random junk really) are often also marketed against "electromagnetic pollution" / 5G radiation and things like that. Shit's huge, and the field is already stratified enough that you have sites targeting a more traditional hippie crowd, others aimed at nazi esotericists and yet others that look like a sleek business pitch and specifically cater to techbros that are rn falling down this entire rabbithole through dubious anti-aging treatments, carnivore diet and other grifter circuits.

I do wonder what the kind of person who think hurricanes are controlled by communists think they can actually do about it.

Or they can re-seize the means of destruction for the bourgeoisie

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

hell yeah, I love videos like that. there used to be a channel where this guy uploaded hundreds of videos of himself using his voice to change the shapes of clouds in the sky.

hell yeah, found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8sl2uLmT5o

it has to be believed to be seen.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

"yeah you can just toss some shit in the clouds and create a storm big enough to destroy a small country. this is totally possible to do"

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

"We've decided the most effective way to use this is to hit our own country with it so that we have to spend billions of dollars in cleanup while getting blamed for not doing anything and we've also decided to keep losing wars to smaller nations and not use that tech just for funnies."

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

The technology exists, the motive is there

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Their enemies are simultaneously so powerful that they can control the weather, yet also incredibly weak and lazy snowflakes.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

You see we can effect the climate but it's all a conspiracy by the communists to get people to vote for girlboss fascism.

Sadly I can see exactly how they reconcile these things

Very high chance that this freeze-gamer grillman is a forum-ranking "High Admiral" (only $1000 pledge now!) or higher or some shit in Star Citizen, too.

Cloud seeding sounds like something CIG would come up with

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Cloud seeding is a thing, they usually use silver or potassium iodide to do it.

You can't create a category 4 hurricane, though. That requires control over the Earth's complex pressure systems.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

They got a bunch of cloud seeding planes to fly around in a circle really really fast and boom, hurricane.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

"G%merdadreviews"? disgost

opinion discarded -> gamer-gulag

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Communism is powerful. The world is changing. Adopt communism or you will be defenseless against their hurricanes.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I can't keep up with the bullshit. Is this God's punishment for gay people or is this a manmade weather seeding project? In either scenario you are absolutely fucked and should evacuate.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

This really is actually a pretty fantastic summary of why it's pointless to try to use logic or reasoning on them. They have somehow immunized themselves from shame and hypocrisy.

"How can you say A and B are both true when they're directly contradictpry."

"Simple, B is true and everybody knows it" and in their mind that was a great response that shit the lib up

Everybody should just watch the Jordan Klepper interview with the Trumper wearing a "Trump That Bitch" t-shirt complaining about how the left was vulgar and didn't respect women.

Kleper asked him about his shirt, the guy responded enthusiastically, excited to show of his shirt, and Klepper succinctly summarized the next 10 years of political discourse.

"Holy shit you really don't even see the irony, i fucking love it..."

Communist using their vegan powers to control the weather

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do these people know how hard it is to engineer a storm that size?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Billion dollar ski resorts are losing their asses because of lack of snow but yea the technology to control weather totally exists but they only use it to periodically send a hurricane at Florida.

Also creating a storm this large artificially would require an amount of energy several orders of magnitude larger than the combined capacity of pretty much every nation on earth combined.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Climate change could be real, they could do it, theyre doing it just for the election, and after that it goes back to normal, not the new normal, the regular old normal.

fascists are obsessed with seeds and eugenics, but want us to believe theyre not involved with or excited about geo-engineering.

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I don't see how global warming being a hoax would preclude the hurricane being geoengineered
