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

If all their conspiracies are true, shouldn’t they get assassinated if they are “figuring it out”?

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 42 minutes ago

Maddox made that point like 20 years ago. Conspiracy mongers ignore it.

who's "they" mother fucker?

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 2 hours ago

I know who "They" are!

[–] Treczoks 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

The only god that would protect him is Loki, probably. Just to piss us humans off.

[–] oldfaintinggoat 7 points 11 hours ago

Sure they can, all it takes is a sharpie!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

lol, my 90 year old grandma says the same

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

im not well versed on who she is but this woman probably has a nefarious reason to be encouraging conspiratorial tought like this. she wouldnt be in a position of power if she didnt know what she was doing.

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.

[–] Fades 1 points 47 minutes ago (1 children)

That is not control over the weather such that hurricanes can occur and you know that

[–] TriflingToad 1 points 46 minutes ago* (last edited 36 minutes ago)

yeah I was OOTL on what this specific post was about, I apologize.

[–] Dasus 8 points 3 hours ago

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

But it is right, sure.

Is this how they turn the frogs gay?

[–] TriflingToad 1 points 1 hour ago

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] 1 points 42 minutes ago

Russia regularly does cloud seeding.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours 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.

[–] Dorkyd68 3 points 3 hours ago

But it's not a rocket that shot into the air. It's almost like opening a massive flood gate with unimaginable psi. Then a cloud floats on up and creates rain.

The machine is meant to mimic rocket launches so they can better be studied.

No rockets are ever launched though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day 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

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

Oh my god I thought it was fake

[–] Evotech 3 points 1 day ago

Ever heard of tripling down

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

We're out here doing rain dances every day.

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

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

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 5 points 1 day 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 84 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] 38 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day 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] 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Blue_Morpho 38 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 38 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (8 children)

She wants her own space lasers
