TIL Burning Man has a fucking airport. USA, man.
- @gerikson It’s all about experiencing the beauty of nature and appreciating the fragility of our planet by driving thousands of miles in air-conditioned gas guzzlers before burning even more fossil fuels and a small rainforest of wood you get there. But it’s okay because you have to take your trash home with you.
  
  Shit, I spent 5 hours this morning experiencing the beauty of nature. It's right outside.
sorry reminds me of this particular billboard ad that ran in Sydney. Just couldn’t make my brain interpret the “how did I get here?” in the positive sense they intended. Even the look on the girls face… it’s like sadness in her eyes. Anyway, there you go
- Same as it ever was.
bet they wish the protestors had made them turn around now lmao
Imagine the smell.
- They probably want to have the toilets septic tanks drained once a day, so uh... good luck with the sewage trucks I guess
  
  I guess we're going to find out just how committed they are to taking the trash when they leave.
Hope the VCs are ready for a wave of survivalist tech product pitches
Fyre Island II: The Enshittenning
Nothing makes my heart quiver quite like tech bros, mud and a sea of overflowing porta-potties.
What if the shrimp in the playa are flesh eating?
- They've been playing the long game. It's all been building up to this.
I think this belongs over in TechTakes rather than SneerClub; it doesn't seem TREACLES-focused.
- D'oh you're right. I will do better in the future.

- Is it possible to move posts if you mod both?
  
  it seems like it isn’t possible, unfortunately. it looks like the lemmy devs are finally starting to work on more mod tooling, so we may see some improvement here soon; if not, it can go on my queue as I get back into modifying our version of lemmy

Pity bout ya! I hope your private plane sinks in the mud
Apparently now "a death is being investigated", which is a form of passive voice I have not yet encountered.
Also, "shelter in place" is one of those examples of American English that I really don't get. I suppose it's something from school shootings? Or hurricanes?
- That last part sounds weirdly specific and personal... I hope it isn't.
- @gerikson Police state is coeming. Shelter in place citizen and await the civility drones.
  
  In Texas, it certainly does not mean the police state is coming. If anything, maybe a come of hicks with badges to stand around for 15 minutes, but usually just means "stay were you are because we don't know wtf to do and aren't funded to do anything anyway."
