@llallawg@0xcadd Either way, the whole thing is way out of control. No one is doing this, no one even has plans of doing it, itโs probably not even possible to do. But itโs gotten into conspiracy territory and has people not actually addressing the actual issues about meat consumption or ticks.
@Dave39352@elaifresh So if I said something like, I think we should take care to not contaminate Mars with our probes just incase that rock has alien life on it.. that wouldnโt preclude me from caring more about humans on Earth and would nuke Mars if it saved other humans.
@TheScreamPits@ZaknelThePony So my understanding is, the concern is for things like aquifers that recharge very slowly. If you pull the water out, you canโt put it back underground and the ground sinks.
Honestly, I think the sound is a bigger issue. https://t.co/iGqpBIHrs9
@georgew0035@isaiah_bb Not directly, but ticks are handled by the CDC and NIH and both of those agencies lost a lot of staff. That indirectly makes it harder to deal with things such as this because resources and manpower are stretched. You need some extra people for when the emergency happens.
@datphamtha91354@PopSci They eat everything and I mean everything. All the fish, all the insects and invertebrates, all the plants, until nothing but them is left.
@american_atomic@ReviewsPossum Very likely. Anyone can just publish papers. And Iโm sure that someone has figured out that rage bait is a writing style. Cause this paper feeds into all the conspiracies.
@Unuhinuii@giveashitnature A lot of people arenโt ready for that conversation yet. But maybe this is the first step in that direction. And yeah. They should be banned (medical and scientific exceptions).
@giveashitnature Balloons should be banned. All of them, but especially the Mylar ones. Medical or scientific, like weather balloons, should still be allowed, but for public use? No more.
@Valtgaming@Centerfield12 It can be, but not in this case! The Mississippi is an old, failed fault line when North America tried to rip itself apart long ago. It would have become a rift valley, had it succeeded. Anyway. It gets earthquakes along it from that now and again.
@Centerfield12 So! A long time ago, North America tried to pull itself apart into a new continent and failed. The Mississippi River is that old fault line/rift.
@jacksnack23@hell_line0 Then it wonโt hurt you to read project 2025 and look up the writers of it. There isnโt a grand conspiracy. Just a group of people who believe the country would be better as a theocracy and have been working towards this goal since the Civil Rights movement.
@jacksnack23@hell_line0 I donโt like them either, but thatโs not the conversation.
Here is the whole thing. I encourage you to google the authors and see what they are involved in. They write forwards in much of the paper.

@jacksnack23@hell_line0 Because they are setting policy for the Republican Party. Several of the authors of project 2025 are currently working for Trump. Like John Ratcliffe who is in charge of CIA and Brendan Carr in charge of the FCC.

@jacksnack23@hell_line0 I do. A lot. Which is why Iโm politically aware.
And you should read project 2025. Itโs not a grand conspiracy if the heritage foundation is laying it all out in writing. Itโs long, but best read straight though.
@jacksnack23@hell_line0 And just because I have limited time, itโs a wedge issue to bring back segregation. To remove 4th amendment protections.
