They don't even stop and think about how utterly fucking ridiculous these accusations are. I bet you dollars to donuts that near the DC monuments there are cameras everywhere. Where's the footage of these evil Dems dumping buckets of algae in the pool? Any (reliable) eyewitness reports? Any scientists taking samples and maybe seeing if the algae was recently disturbed/transplanted?

I mean, I get it, their feelings mean more to them than facts and evidence, but c'mon, man. This is a 4th grade level critical thinking exercise.

Republicans: there is literally no way to tell if something is true other than someone telling me it is

[-] Steve@startrek.website 21 points 2 weeks ago

Other than an authoritative man telling them.

These people were raised wrong.

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Or some random guy on YouTube. Being on a screen means you know what you're talking about right?

[-] Steve@startrek.website 6 points 2 weeks ago

As long as they project absolute confidence.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 39 points 2 weeks ago

Clearly their pool guy is a dirty dem. He purposely let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low so the the chlorine was useless...

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Way too scientific for them, it confuses them.

They only need "the Dems did it, they are evil"

You know more about water chemistry than most of my coworkers at my power plant. I get so tired of telling them to watch the tower pH and make sure the acid is running in auto so the hypo will actually fucking do something. It's a miracle that our condenser performance isn't trashed by fouling. I've caught tower pH at fucking 9 before when it's supposed to be 7.0-7.5, and I'm trying to push for 6.8-7.2.

Better than when cooling water is supplied with an expensive reverse osmosis unit which then proceeds to corrode the entire carbon steel cooling water system due to pH of 5.5 since everyone is convinced water so pure can't do any damage.

let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low

Did you mean to word it this way? Rising pH means increasing alkalinity. If the alkalinity is getting lower, then the pH is dropping.

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No, "alkalinity" is confusingly another term for water hardness or buffer capacity in English (for historical reasons I guess?).

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

I meant Total Alkalinity as a buffer, either way the water is out of balance causing any chlorine (if any) to be ineffective and letting Alagae grow.

They are just that dumb. Half of all Americans are complete and utter morons. Like we have our fair share of idiots in Europe, but most of our idiots seem to be a lot smarter those MAGA people.

[-] Boe 11 points 2 weeks ago

As someone born, raised and living in the US, I have to disagree with this statement. It’s clearly more then half

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well we did export a lot of our idiots there, so...

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

One guy commented that DOGE had saved us billions but the media wouldn't cover it.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Didn't they fire a bunch of nuclear waste inspectors and then couldn't rehire them because they'd already turned in all their work phones? Sorted that mess alone out probably put them over budget

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, they cut the security budget. No tapes, only word of mouth.
