Who needs an app? That's actually pretty clever.

Edit: I apparently didn't see the nutjob entry on the right.

I think you haven't finished reading the chart.

Haha, I had the same reaction, then I kept giggling at the cardboard.

I have a copy of The Weather Wizards Cloud Book in my day bag which is a nice little guide to identify what clouds are up above and which might come next. It's pretty neat.

I mean technically, aside from the name, all statements on the right are correct I think. Don't think huffing turbine exhaust is healthy for you ๐Ÿ˜„

Chemtrails are watervapor. I am not saying there is no problematic exhaust. It just isn't visible.

[-] mormund@feddit.org 14 points 2 days ago

They are mostly ice crystals. But they form around soot from the exhaust. There is research into reducing those emissions to reduce contrails since they contribute to the greenhouse effect https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-dlr-study-finds-sustainable-aviation-fuel-can-reduce-contrails/

So the conspiracy guys are kinda correct that the contrails are bad, but once again for all the wrong reasons.

I've seen this at least 4 times and I've never noticed the chemtrails part. I always just pat myself on the back that I found the right cloud on the chart and move on.

This is better than an app. It can't violate your right to privacy by selling all your data to capitalists.

chemtrails

really? we're still doing this?

[-] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 days ago

Why would we need chemtrails when we've already made it so that everything that's the color red whispers to schizophrenic people on a frequency only they can hear?

Fun fact, pollution makes sunset colors more vibrant.
