Great they just had to name it Hilary. This shit is gonna get memed to death right next to Brandon.

Think they might try to arrest a hurricane?

Can we get tickets to that? Maybe a live steam?

[–] exploding_whale@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

What about the hurricanes emails‽

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A couple years ago, they were trying to shoot at the hurricanes, so…

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't Trump suggest nuking one?

[–] charliespider@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but thankfully he instead chose to simply redirect the hurricane with his sharpie

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When my daughter sent us the projected path of Hillary, which goes over us, my wife sent back a sharpie-modified version that routed it away. So we should be safe.

[–] Treatyoself@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better stock up on your chocolate reserves though, just in case.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Always solid advice.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah how do we seed this, I want to see an attempt to lock up a hurricane. And I honestly hope they succeed

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

…. First useful thing magidoits have done.

I think we need borrow some DNC political operatives. Maybe plant some FBI agents. With GoPros.

For the movie. Title it “Useful idiots.”

Oh the Hilarity.

Just remember, it doesn't take much for moving water to move a car.

Turn around, don't drown.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 25 points 2 years ago

There's gonna be a lot of flash flooding from this. Stay safe out there folks

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

Ground is too dry to absorb, just gonna tear through the surface. Expect a warm winter and a drought next year.

One big festering neon distraction.

[–] Chetzemoka@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Learn to swim, my friend. Learn to swim.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Swimming is easy. Treading water, not so much.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't worry friend, I get your reference.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I saw Tool @ Lollapalooza in ‘94. Rage against the Machine tried to start a riot. Good times.

[–] deft@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

distraction from what?? all the other awful things?

Ahhh, ha ha ha, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone. Oh, it's gone. All the shitty shows are gone, all the idiots screaming in the fucking wind are dead, I love it. Leaving nothing but a cool, beautiful serenity called...Arizona Bay. That's right, when L.A. falls in the fucking ocean and is flushed away, all that it will leave...is Arizona Bay.

[–] charliespider@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Except that even with biggest earthquake ever, that won't happen. The San Andreas fault is a strike slip fault, not a subduction one. At worst California will just move north, and not into the ocean.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

It's a Bill Hicks comedy routine, rather than a treatise on plate tectonics

The username... the NZ country code... are you a hobbit?

How Old Toby Hornblower came by the plant is not recorded, for to his dying day he would not tell.

what did she do now

[–] Polydextrous@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago

My brain started reading “Hilary will dump” and started assuming it was going in an “emails” direction
