We must ban your :elmofire: treats to prevent forest fires, pollution, lung cancer, other lung damage, littering, and injury.
The power company’s malfunctioning equipment that starts 80% of forest fires, the cars that produce 75% of the pollution, the cigarettes that cause 90% of the lung cancer, the COVID giving everyone lung damage, the fast food packaging and vapes that make up almost all litter are all fine though. Tragic about those 5 people per year who get a booboo from forest fire embers, though.
Anyone else remember the “don’t throw rocks into the river” struggle session?
I mean to be fair, it was more “don’t rearrange a whole segment of streambed just to participate in that particular Instagram trend”
Yeah it was a pretty exemplary instance of internet poisoning taking reasonable asks and acknowledgement of reality turning into a rhetorical arms race of taking arguments to their extremes. Don’t take rocks out of the river for pictures, don’t make a fire in bad conditions, but it’s ok to have trail markers or throw the odd rock and to make a fire at your campsite for the night.
