Given that it's probably the most CCTV covered pond in the world maybe Palantir can find the dastardly scooby doo villains using tax payer's money and a rain forest of llm tokens.

Or maybe that whole swamp thing wasn't just a metaphor.

I can't help but think they could have just chlorinated the fucking water no? Turned it into a filtered pool. They did what? a multi-million dollar paintjob?

"Are those pool vandalizing Democrats in the room with us?"

These people are breathtakingly stupid.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What's irritating is I genuinely believe most of the ones making the posts know exactly how full of shit they are. They make this crap up because Grandma and cousin GenZ Chudley will eat it up without even thinking to fact check anything. They know they are only taking advantage of stupid people for fame and money. If I had no morals, I'd do the same. Sell these fucking idiots shirts about how fluoride makes you gay and vaccines make you gay and autistic, and I could probably make a fuck ton of money.

[–] MartianRecon@lemmus.org 5 points 15 hours ago

They are without morals, compassion, and empathy.

They literally are abstaining from a huge part of humanity.

Science is fake news used by left-wing radicals with woke agendas. /s

[–] MartianRecon@lemmus.org 1 points 15 hours ago

The problem is their lies incur debts to the truth, and that debt need be paid.

The bullshit part is that we all pay for this debt, and not just the people who are racking it up.

The US is a brilliant case study of what happens when a society takes pride in being uneducated.

Just a spot of education would tell them that saboteurs would have to carry in and dump 100s and 100s of pounds of fertilizer in there.

Did they treat the lawn and it wash in with the rain? Also, the paint on the bottom warm the pool, and the algae loved it.

Whatever floats their boat, right?

Everyone knows the left has the power to control blue-green algea. We use it as part of our eviiiiil plan to produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Soylent blue-green?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's massive you'd have to dump an awful lot of stuff in there to make even the slightest bit of difference, what exactly is it that they are suggesting has happened here?

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Dude is making shit up because it didn't turn blue the way Trump said it would after they painted it... I mean shifted 14 million from government funds to their own personal bank.

"Democrats shit in my pants, AGAIN? Impossible!!! It had to be an inside job... These are $700 trump brand security pants with AI anti-diarrhea technology in the butt and real gold Bible verses stitched into the crotch to repel gay boners? These liberals are just too computer, someone needs to stop them from having Paramount plus subscriptions so they can't learn from the CSI"

I’m no expert in artificial lake management, but apparently the reason for the algae booms is leakage of the filtration piping that disperses treated water into the soil instead of allowing it to fully circulate into the pool.

The $34 million dollar Obama-era refurbishment attempted to address this with a new system fed by the Potomac river instead of the DC municipal water system, but leakages persist. Trump’s refurbishment project has not made changes to the filtration, piping, or pumping facilities which is probably why algae will continue to be a problem.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Fake news. It's the democrats who planted algae!!1!

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

What's so stupid about this is why would a president ever have any input on something so trivial? Seriously, should he oversee the toilet paper purchasing in the capitol too?

It's amazing since all I kept hearing for the past month as this was being done was that this does nothing to fix the underlying issues and that its just going to be the same as it was within weeks due to the heat and low water level. If anything it would be worse due to the dark paint used to absord more heat. Now were here and exactly what was predicted happened and people really blaming shit on more crazy lies lol. These people are beyond nuts.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

exactly what was predicted happened

In the MAGA mindset, that just makes it all the more suspicious. Curious, you seemed to know exactly what would happen and conveniently it happened the way you said... You must have done something to make it happen.
