Or Singapore and chewing gum.
A country famous for its pristine wilderness and eco-friendly economy.
I think they’re onto something
I really hope you're joking
Nono, they are on top of something.
And that something is fucking massive oil reservoirs.
Okay, but only if these guys show up to arrest me.
what are the odds, i watched that episode only a few days ago
Improbability principle states that the odds are fairly high. Highly unlikely events happen all the time, and as a sum of all the events it becomes a high chance. Among the masses, someone probably watched that episode and someone is going to post about that episode. Both happening together isn't unlikely but highly probable because there are so many individual probabilities combining together due to many actors.
Well that plus Lemmy is predominantly trekkers.
And by "littering" you also mean uncontrolled dumping of chemicals into our air and waterways too, right?
This. teaching kids to pick up their trash and dispose properly, raises kids that understand that the environment can be polluted and we need to be stewards
That doest look like Singapore at all?
Ahh yes, its the thrown sandwich wrapper thats the problem not the 2 tonnes of metal and plastics belching pollutants that kill millions and are a massive ci tributir to global warming out the back whike driving down a concrete and asphlat road.
I remember long ago reading something where an enviromentalist who was driving home with a friend along the highway and the friend opined how their enviromwntalist friend must be disappointed with humanity seeing all this litter along the road edge and the environmentalist replied that the litter wasn't the problem, the road was.
Looks litter free /s
frankly cars and roads also make me irrationally mad
besides tire spikes, we ought to consider the death penalty for driving a car too /hj
Make this the punishment for producing litter producs as well. Fuck Temu with a rusty pipe.
Make the recycling deposit a dollar, pin it to inflation, and put it on everything.
That would probably also solve overconsumption, since you could only buy so much of anything before literally running out of dollars to deposit.
That would make having a mountain of long lived useless trash a solid inflation safe investment plan.
Can’t wait to start counterfeiting milk jugs
As long as their useless trash is in their garage and not scattered on the highway I think that's still an improvement.
Even if it was scattered everywhere you would definitely have people pick it back up for the deposit. That works with bottles in Germany and the deposit for them gets as low as 8ct.

I mean, watching a guy in a muscle car throw trash out his car at the intersection near my home, I'm for it. It ain't so much the littering, it's the type of people who litter. Lol
Singapore is also beautiful, they slap you with a cane for littering.
Why not just show a picture of UAE? Looks identical but with trucks filled with poop leaving the Burj Khalifa instead of flying cars.
The illustration neglects to show how the mass incarceration and death row system will be set up and function in order for death penalty to be inflicted on those littering. Of course it does, it wouldn't be as pretty otherwise.

I didn't learn "moods" in HS Grammar, but it still ~~makes me feel weird~~.
Correction:
- Used to make me feel weird until I got bombarded with so much of it (even the recommendations in GBoard do similar stuff) that I got accustomed.
- I haven't used Grammarly outside of the "let's check it out" stage, but I have a feeling, that would do similar stuff.
Yes, but explicitly applied to corporate entities. If a corp can't handle its waste, it's a threat to mankind and should not operate. Solve the issue or kill the corp.
Wesley Crusher has left the chat.
Also, you should know that complaining about Opportunity's laws is considered verbal littering!
I’m sure that weird little pod thing in the middle is actually next to the ring road in Manchester.
Eww, there's like hardly any trees. 🤮
Please Litter Tsar, add tagging to your death penalty list.
San Francisco needs this so much.
Kerala needs it too
Literally singapore
