Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Gasoline causes very serious harm. We should ban people from using it. Guns are extremely harmful if used correctly. Maybe we should ban people from using guns. Fentanyl, that harms people. Botox harms people. Oxygen can even harm people. We NEED to stop people from having access to oxygen.
Edit: I just realized we're doing everything wrong! The single most leading cause of death, out of everything combined, is life. Life causes death. It is imperative that in order to stop things from dying, we need to stop them from living! My God, why hasn't anyone thought of this yet! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!
if we are acting banning things that cause harm, why aren’t we starting with the worst?
Dihydrogen monoxide
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
Humans are addicted to it as well.
If we go without it for too long our body reacts very negatively.
It has a 100% lethality rate. Every human to ever consume it has died.
It's so addictive we also die without it. In terms of addiction withdrawal that's as bad as it gets.
Ok, while I enjoyed this very much.. how does water contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Water vapor makes a great insulator.
Is that the right word? Air is an insulator. A better insulator than water vapor. It resists the transfer of energy.
Water vapor absorbs heat from sunlight better than air (other non-greenhouse gases) and heats the atmosphere as a result.
You're probably right, insulator probably isn't the right word. You're describing it better than I did. Point being the hotter the earth gets the more water vapor, making things hotter still.
Thermal mass?
I'm just a random on the Internet, not a climate scientist. You should ask someone who knows better than me.
Being pedantic, but air usually contains water vapor, though not much.
Wait till Aluto hears about dihydrogen monoxide!
Just ask the residents of Flint.
More like “die hydrogen monoxide”. Get that stuff in your lungs and you’ll be dead in minutes.
Justice Samuel Alito causes very serious harm.
Or alcohol, or cigarettes etc
100% of people, especially women and children, exposed to water DIE. 100% fatality rate. Think of the poor babies! Ban it now.
If Fentanyl was part of hippie drug culture in the 60s, then it 100% would be Schedule I.
Every single structure fire, forest fire, etc...has been fueled by that GOD-DAMNED oxygen. I've honestly given up on justice being served.
