It's been interesting over the years seeing my father go from "global warming isn't real" to "it's real, but not man-made," to "it's all China's fault and we shouldn't do anything about it"

The very classic four stage program.

spoilerSir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.

Bernard Woolley: What’s that?

Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.

Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.

You have to add something after spoiler to hide it, e.g.

The fucking South Park episode with MAn Bear Pig as a standin is fucking hilarious with this

[–] wolfinthewoods@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That episode is commonly misunderstood. I too had always thought they were lampooning climate change deniers, but Matt and Trey were actually poking fun of Al Gore and An Inconvient Truth as alarmist. They've since apologized for the episode, but it's wild that it's so often confused for satirizing the very thing it was mocking. For me I just assumed that Matt and Trey wouldn't be deniers so it never occured to me until I found out their true intention and now it's pretty cringy to watch that episode since it's a lot more obvious. Here's an article about it:

That's the old MBP episode, I am talking about the new ones from season 20 something.

Specifically this scene https://youtu.be/0AW4nSq0hAc

[–] wolfinthewoods@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I didn't realize they'd revisited the gag. Thanks for the head's up.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, they admit it in that they were wrong, and then do an awesome satire about how we are handling it

[–] wolfinthewoods@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

Right on, that's good on them. I was honestly disappointed to learn that they were deniers years ago, which definitely effected my ability to watch the show afterwards. I'll have to check out the episode when I can.

Despite all their Gadsden flags they are obedient.

But it snowed this winter! Once!

I'm a school bus driver and I have a coworker who is an avid climate-change denier. Here is an example of how stupid she is: she needed to borrow my bus for a run and I had it chocked. Since the chock was wedged solid under my front wheel, she decided she needed to use the crowbar to get it loose and tore the fuck out of it (and my front tire) in the process. It never occurred to her to start the bus and back up to free the chock.

She also 1) hates immigrants because they're unvaccinated and "spread disease", and 2) is anti-vax. I could never make this shit up in a million years. If you have children, consider that a lot of the people driving them to and from school are exactly this fucking stupid.

[–] VerbFlow@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Trick her into giving you all her money. This seems like prime scam real estate. Get some olive oil, jack up the price, and tell her you're selling "essential oils". Or scare her by making her believe you're God incarnate. Or kill her and take her wallet lmao

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

To be a pedant, the ten hottest years on record have all been within the past decade but each of the past ten years hasn't been the hottest on record. E.g. 2021 was (slightly) cooler than 2020 and so wasn't a record year (but was still hotter than any year pre-2014).

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

As a fellow pedant, I forgot that; corrected.

B-b-b-but muh Milkanovitch cycles!

(Seriously had a science teacher I was about about to throw hands with about this shit omifuckinggod)
