Rather than fixing the cause, Bangkok tries to spray its smog away using water cannons

Everyone knows you have to use vinegar.

Logically, if you were using commercial aircraft to inject chemicals into the atmosphere, you would take care to avoid condensation in the resulting clouds. I am not aware of any visible trails from dumped fuel, for example.

edit: one thing I noticed from my only flight across the US, is that contrails are absolutely everywhere. We were crossing one every few minutes. Its the high traffic volume and the distributed nature of the US population which does it. I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

Water cannons are fine, but then it rains sulfuric acid.

My first thoughts on reading this were about acid rain.

Apple cider vinegar, right? That stuff is ~850% more likely to be the one weird trick than the standard variety; so it’s probably the right one to use on chemtrails. If you don’t have any orgone in stock.

Haven’t you ever spilled soda on something and had it get sticky and start accumulating dust and dirt? The sugar is necessary to make all those pollution particles stick out of the air. Then the gunk can just be swiffered up off the surfaces, and the air’s sparkling clean.

Come on… this is so obvious, I can’t believe I have to explain it. Anyone with a sub-high school grasp of physics and chemistry can see the logic.

That’s how you get chubby rain.

Dear lord van der Waals in heaven! This is insane. Where is the energy coming from to make these water jets? Diesel generators and coal fired power plants, that’s who!

Diesel generators…

factorial vin diesels if that wasn’t obvious. tee hee

As suggestions for fixes go, this one is Trumpian. File Under: Just Do This.

Congratulations that is literally the single stupidest thing I may have ever seen humanity do.

That’s true, of course.

The most likely reason for the city authorities adopting the scheme is that an important councillor’s cousin owns a sugar plantation and has a surplus on his hands. Allegedly.

The plural of water cannon is water cannon. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cannon

If only Sir Pterry had called Lipwig “Damp Von Lipwig”.

No, no, no. What you’re supposed to do is hose down the pollution detectors, thus reducing the pollution count. Problem solved!

Water in Thailand is rarely clean, so basically the cannon sprays out an aerosol of pathogens in the air. With or without sugar, I don’t want to be in the vicinity.

Some decent time lapse videos out there showing contrail formation. Some areas get a very high volume.

“There was an old lady, who swallowed…”

I’ve no idea what happens after the water, sugar and particulates mix, but I bet that somewhere down the chain there’s a Godzilla.

420 maaaan

but really, anything up there will eventually come down. Then we have our same carbon party (which probably will be worse, since we’ve presumably solved global warming, and people will feel it’s ok to pollute again) and crappier air to boot.

Whoosh
