Those 8 states are a big contributor to the current shitshow

Water is a chemical and crop dusters do actually dump other substances from aircraft. So, in a way, chemtrails are real. Just not in the way the conspiracy dumbasses think.

That reminds me of my favorite rock that prevents tiger attacks. I've had it with me for years and it works perfectly. Yet, whenever I bring it up, people make fun of me.

I remember that scene from an episode, too. Just not which episode it is. Pre season 10 I think?

Quick, somebody tell these politicians about a highly addicting and dangerous chemical known as Dihydrogen monoxide with a kill rate of 100%. Ban DHMO! Save America!

I heard that they found DHMO in hurricane Milton!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago

Yes, every terrorist in the history of mankind consumed DHMO! Ban this stuff immediately! ~/s~

So what you're saying is, the law's already working?

… this article is kinda shit.

Says 8 states but doesn’t tell you which ones, just that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of them.

Says 8, tells us 2.

WHO ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO POINT AT AND LAUGH???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

It probably isn't hard to extrapolate what the other 6 states are if you know that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of the 8.

We live in a post-reality political climate.

All forms of condensation must be exterminated!

Anyway, the reason they want to push bullshit laws is that bullshit laws can be used to punished whomever they like precisely because they are not founded in reality.

If it wasn't so sad it'd be hilarious that all these states are banning imaginary ways to control the weather while at the same time gutting the EPA and air population controls, so real ways to influence the weather.
