I would think Don Quixote would be foaming at the mouth to defeat the windmills, not denying they exist? Do I remember the story wrong? Whatever, they are gorgeous photos!

He also says no one knows how magnet works and that water neutralises them, so I don't think anyone should listen to him about anything but how he's going to oppress Americans and the world next

Trump lies. He lies because it works. It works because people think calling out his lies in their echo chamber does something. It doesnt. His lies are for the echo chambers he controls. He controls meta. He controls twitter, he controls tiktok.

You dont. Your memes only find people who already agree with you, and you all do nothing.

Organize. Boycott. Protest.

If I am wasting my time here, you are also wasting your time here.

I know I am not wasting my time here, but apparently you are?

He also insists China will take hockey away from Canadians if Canada trades with China, so I would disregard anything trump says about China.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 5 points 20 hours ago

Literally everything he says is a lie.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol what do you think all of those shipping containers going back to China from Canada are full of? CANADIAN HOCKEYSTICKS clearly!

They were really just Honeysticks. They really were from New Zealand but someone slapped some wrong labels around and, well, you know...

...anyway. Apparently someone just dropped half their cock around and other people misread the misplacement.

I would disregard anything trump says ~~about China~~.

All better.

He never saw them, so they don't exist.

[–] ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never saw his dick, so he doesn't have one.

Of course you haven't seen it, you're not a teenage girl (I assume).

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

That's too old for him.

So basically baby drumpf hasn't developed object permanence, something baby humans should've fully developed by 24 months.

Anything that comes after “Donald Trump insists” can always be disregarded

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

That is how you deal with Donald Trump sentences, you grab them by the insist and tell them to shut up.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Ignorant old pedophile rambles incoherently... more at 11

Don't you know anything Trump says is automatically reality and no so called evidence matters.

Plus that amazing video of them driving the wind turbine blade up the mountain https://youtu.be/9dtUrY8_1CM

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Wind is a highly cost-efficient and abundant form of electricity generation.

And Communism Doesn't Work

Ergo, the Communist Chinese could have never built wind farms.

QED

some of these images have kind of bizarre charm, but the effect on the environment seems rather terrifying...

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, climate change caused by fossil fuels is terrifying

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip -2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

you seem to have trouble understanding written text. neither this thread, the photos or my comment is about fossil fuels.

and there are other options than your false dichotomy presents.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

You seem to have trouble understanding critical sarcasm. Which I used because being "worried" about the environmental impact of renewable energy is extremely disingenuous - almost to a parody level when combined with the pictures you provided.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

What are these effects on the environment you speak of? From the pictures you posted it seems like you are talking about aesthetics, which is completely different and subjective. A metal pole in the ground has virtually 0 environmental impact, as evidenced by the very pictures you've shared. They're still beautiful, pristine places - now imagine if each of them had an oil refinery or coal burning plant instead.
