If black makes it hotter, then why are red, orange, and yellow called "hot" colors?

Checkmate, conservatives.

Of course nobody in Mexico has ever heard of a tarp...

maybe I'm thick... but how does black paint prevent someone from climbing a fence?

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You see. As it is right now, the mexicans can't see the fence, and so they stumble around and accidentally find themselves on the american side. If it's black they'll much easier identify the american border, and thus avoid crossing into that shithole of a country.

I see a red wall and I want to paint it black...

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the same border wall they've been pulling down with Toyotas?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's the one they can slip straight through.

[–] ShieldsUp@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.

Oh look CBS news, the presidents personal boot licking journalists.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 2 weeks ago

Is that why my fake news and/or conspiracy/conservative blocklists block CBS News? I wasn’t sure but I just let it continue to be blocked.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why don’t they get MAGAts with bayonets to stand guard every 3 feet?

Magas think that Mexicans hate black as much as they do

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

So there is a market for white spray paint South of the border? Got my new side hustle!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Stupid is as stupid does.
