Camel Joe? Maybe? As in Kamala Joe.

[-] beliquititious 9 points 2 years ago

I've seen people wearing shirts that say "Kamaljoe" which seems to confirm your hypothesis. An alternative would be as both a racist and sexist nickname for her.

Either way, certified room temperature IQ.

Hay is typically wet and holds into moisture, and this is definitely made of hay no doubt. That said, hay isn't normally flammable. The flammable stuff not in the picture is straw.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Those bales are pretty new, so they'll likely sit in the field drying for a while and definitely won't be easy to light. But hay is absolutely flammable once dry, my friends and I almost burned an entire field because someone was lighting dried loose hay on fire while we were playing on them

Hay is flammable if you try hard enough. Had a neighbor that caught a tractor on fire next to a stack of 500 bales (large round bales, about 1400# apiece). They all burned and nobody tried to put them out, it was a hellfire.

Hay is normally put up at about 12% moisture. Wet bales catch fire because they rot and spontaneously combust.

Bingo. That's why you usually see hay bales left so far apart in fields to dry. Stack them together and they will catch themselves on fire.

Any way, to OCs point, a well placed Molotov (or even just good ol gasoline) could fix the current flammability issue.

Use diesel fuel or kerosene. Gasoline is too explosive and the vapor will burn your eyebrows off when it blows.

Excellent pro-tip, thank you

They cure dry in the fields to a certain moisture content and then they are stored in a hay barn with proper ventilation and room. That shit in that picture won't light but sure, any dipshit can add enough accelerant to something and it will burn.

Diesel is the cure-all for your flame starting needs

[-] UnpledgedCatnapTipper 1 points 2 years ago

Diesel is actually pretty hard to get burning!

"The median income for a household in the county was $32,167" this is probably the richest guy in the whole county.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Why couldn't it be just $600 more.

[-] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 21 points 2 years ago

Definitely not a cult.

[-] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Archery target?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Shit like this just makes me think these people have way to much free time.

[-] FireWire400@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Looks like it'd burn quite well...

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

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.....gasp, Ha, Ha, Ha. Wait until the tariffs kick in. Ho boy, gonna be wild.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Does that mean we can hold out hope for him to get eaten by a herd of cows?

(It would be poetic justice after all the hamberders.)

[-] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

TBF that's pretty well done
