Indiana has no emissions standards.
Guess what I see all the fucking time?
Guess what I see all the fucking time?
Okay, wild guess: pornography?
I mean... that too, but that has nothing to do with vehicle emission standards.
Not with that attitude
Don't fuck a car's tailpipe. Or at least wait until it's cooled off.
Then which emissions are we talking about 🫣
Yeah but it skewed my wife’s emission standards she sets on me.
No we're talking about a different kind of emissions
barely matters. These assholes would just remove the filter after the test anyway. Texan here.
I'm not usually one to call for "nanny" laws or regulations but those types of situations are just the perfect excuse for having filters trapped in a captive device that can only be opened by licensed mechanics. Sure there would likely end up being a grey or black market of third party workaround devices. It happens in any situation with regulations. Its just ridiculous that the knuckleheads are able to make and keep enough money to spend on some of the more ridiculous clown monster trucks on public roads.
I'm not sure how you plan to do that in a way that can't be defeated by an angle grinder.
Filter is integrated into cage such that removing the cage improperly destroys the filter. Make vehicles unable to operate without filter.
Cars with emissions?
Ermagaherd*, why is fuel so expensive?! Stupid dems, I have to feed my 8 foot per gallon brodozer!
*spelling appropriately changed
Modern conservatism in a nutshell:
Everything was just fine yesterday. What did you guys do to screw it up for me?!
That, combined with the need for simple answers to extremely complex problems..
I can smell it through the picture
I wonder how the one-time burst release of carbon from hitting one of these odious things with a fucking bazooka would compare to the prevented lifetime emissions
The vehicle will have to be disposed of at the end of its lifetime anyway.
What it will affect is the reduced carbon from a shorter use time, and kill the oxygen waster inside. Overall a net positive.
Who is starting this weather machine bullshit and why are some of my family members believing this? Why is it so hard for people to identify when they are being lied to?
It popped up during the Obama era with HAARP, a scientific research station in Alaska that monitors the ionosphere. Wingnuts claimed it was a weather control machine; they claimed the increase in disastrous weather wasn't because of global warming, but because HAARP was causing storms so Democrats could take over and institute Full Communism.
It disappeared from the right wing zeitgeist for a while, but recently got revived by Marjorie Taylor-Greene. Anything to pretend their own actions aren't at fault.
I just want to add that the HAARP conspiracy theories are way older. i read about it mid of the 90s. Already back then it was a weather control machine / earthquake generator / mind control device / magnetic pole flipper.
Pretty sure Mulder makes a joke about it in X-Files.
I also remember seeing a scene in a science fiction movie that had an apparent HAARP facility firing some weird laser system and having it actually do some type of weather or space manipulation. So it's been in the public eye for a long time as some major conspiracy theory. I just wish I could remember what the movie was.

Starting? I don't know.
Promoting? Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Probably the government to redirect attention somewhere else
...a government... It's not your government that benefits from domestic chaos

Is that an offshore oil rig that's on fire?
If so, they're not entirely wrong
That's the joke?
I mean, if that’s is the joke, you’re not entirely wrong.
Right, but I think they're saying the joke was that.
I think that if that truly is the joke, then you're not entirely wrong here
Wait, what’s the joke again?
That which may be an indication of OP not being entirely wrong.
This statement contains elements that are factual.
"Humans can control the weather but also definitely didn't cause climate change" haha
Can't be a coincidence that these oil rigs are in the Gulf of MEXICO, creating storms to illegally cross our borders.
Or...
Dems are trying to assassinate TRUMP again with this sad, pitiful storm. Never seen one more pitiful. Mar a Lago is great. Really great. Trump will ride out this hurricane. Never fear.
OMG MGT was right, look at the research there is so much proof but they won't tell us! Can you believe that mainstream media has been lying about all these weather controlling machines and that they are killing us!
Did you know that these weather controlling machines make something called petrollium and that is what controls the weather? Democrats can buy it at any corner store really. The Democrats use it to power their cars when they're not using their own farts and for pretty much everything else really. One way possible to at least slow down how much petrollium Democrats use and stop their control of the weather is to put a tax on it, or maybe stop selling it? If someone told MTG she was right think she would help shut these weather controlling machines down?
Do you think that could work? What about forcing all the democrats to switch over to something like Prius or Tesla's that can run on their own smug attitudes?
🚨☠️🚨WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!🚨☠️🚨
They say I'm a conspiracy theorist but what they won't tell you is these machines are just larger versions of stuff we use everyday. Your car; your oven/stove; your lawn mower; the list goes on.
If that doesn't frighten you get this; the government has released data showing that the clean air you breathe changes inside of your body so that when you breath out it is getting used to alter the climate.
I HAVE THE PROOF!!!!! IM IN DEEP HIDING SO THEY WONT FIND ME!!!! I WILL KEEP SPEAKING OUT UNTIL EVERYONE KNOWS THE TRUTH!!!!!
FUCK YOU OPEC!!!!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!!
It's a conspiracy!
It was me. Every day of the past summer, I turned on my AC, opened all the windows, and ran every appliance at full tilt. Sorry, I just want to watch the world burn.
(shut up, it's a joke)
How much was your hypothetical electric/gas bill?
Enough to break the ice

And dolphins don't count! Or any sea creature in the Gulf of Mexico while we're at it.
