Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Well maybe all the police and gun owners of florida can shoot the water away with guns since they nixed building pipes and ponds to deal with it.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a climate is a good guy with a gun.
Maybe they can nuke the floods away.
Ok, maybe I’m stupid for it, and I wouldn’t deploy one to do it for damn sure, but I can see why someone would think nuking a hurricane might work.
I don’t think we have ever made one that powerful, maybe tsar bomba, but I will admit I wondered if it would work when I first heard about it.
Besides, everyone knows that a hurricane's natural predator is a black magic marker
Random dude on the Internet thinking "hey, maybe..." That's fine. But the president should not be getting his ideas from Sharknado movies.
Even the Tsar Bomba is a little candle in the wind in comparison with a Hurricane.
All you would get would be a radioactive Hurricane.
So, you're saying we need to build a much, much bigger bomb.
/s because its' 2024 and sarcasm is dead
I will admit there is a morbidly curious part of me that wonders what could happen if we add energy to a hurricane.
There was a documentary.
"Sharknado"
It’s called global warming. lol 😭
It wouldn't work (I should have added /s); it would introduce new problems, not to mention the issue of radiation poisoning.
Sharpies, though, solve all problems.
Do we have a buttsharpies here yet?

How much could penguins know about volcanos?
You might be surprised
Mount Erebus and the entire Andean Volcanic Belt is in spitting distance of a penguin or two. Plus any under water volcanoes.
Also should we trust some who refuses to identify themselves
/s
So we need at least 10,001?
Somebody bring me some duct tape and hold my beer.
With the amount of heat released during a nuclear explosion, this might work. I think we need to do a test. It look like Miami is flooding right now.
