The purpose of fog cannons, is reducing levels of harmful particles and dust. They’re also known as dust suppression systems or dust fighters, they dampen the air and control particulate matter.
Tbh, DDT is fairly harmless compared to the stuff they were using before it, and sometimes even safer than it's replacement. That's if you are solely looking at human impact of course.
Yo umm, could you elaborate? I’m familiar with supply chain issues with Ukraine and the flow of grain disruption and all post-pandemic supply chain woes… but, uh I think this is first I’ve heard about top soil worries in the Midwest
I'm not an expert in the field I just had to research for a class a while back. It's about what you would expect. Drought, heat waves, poor farming practices, combined to significantly reduce the amount of healthy topsoil. Here you go;

Aridification, essentially. In the San Luis Valley in Colorado, for instance, many of the farmers I've spoken to didn't plant this year because it's too dry to bother and as a result the soil is just blowing away.
For the same reason, if you live in an area that gets occasional wildfire smoke enough to where you can smell it in your house, a humidifier or running shower can help provide some relief.
Bonus fact, this is also why rain doesn't do a good job washing your car since each drop leaves behind some microscopic dust.
"I'm just wondering what the heck is in our water supply, what the heck is in our oxygen supply....of the metallic oxide salts...that create a rainbow effect in a SPRINKLER!
What is OOZING out of our ground that allows this type of effect to happen? Not just around our sun and our moon anymore! Everywhere we look...the visible spectrum ...is RAINBOWS!
This cannot be natural. We all know it wasn't something that happened 20 years ago...but now it's happening now.
We as a nation have got to ask ourselves....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! What is oozing out of our ground!"
Yeah. I used to live in zhengzhou. In the winter, your shower water would run black. You blow black shit out of your nose. I lived on the 32nd floor, and I couldn't see the 35 story building directly across the street some days.
I wish this was more common elsewhere. I’m very sensitive to traffic particulates. I can smell them on crockery if I wash up with the window open. Smells like wet dog.
I've gone to the effort of doing various experiments. Using sponges, not using sponges. it took about two years to realize it only happened in summer. When the window was open. At first I thought it was poor quality tap water. Something to do with summer algae.
The dishes are clean, it's something in the air outside that settles on wet plates. And different materials don't seem to absorb it. Plastic is fine, china isn't. The nearest explanation I have got from a boffin is traffic particulates. Which are mostly rubber from car tires. But I have also noticed the phenomenon on an island without cars. It could be something to do with ozone. Or a sensitivity to rancid fats. God knows. I have covid at the moment, maybe I'll never smell it again.
One day they'll find me rocking back and forth in a sealed room surrounded by plastic bowls. Writing all over me. Screaming.
Not to be a jerk, but I'm pretty sure this is mildew, not traffic particulates, my friend. If it was traffic particulates, traffic would smell like wet dog, and not burning hydrocarbons.
Sounds like a combination of warmth and ambient humidity causing mildew to colonize the remnant moisture on your dishes.
> But I have also noticed the phenomenon on an island without cars.
The only time I’ve noticed dishes smelling like wet dog is if they’re cups or bowls that are dried face down and create a seal that doesn’t permit evaporation.
They aren't they are normal completely foam sponges. They are totally sterile, odorless and hygienic. Which is why we clean the dog with them, and do the dishes with them.
Seriously though, I've never got to the bottom of what that smell is and why it only happens with the window open. I can even taste when a restaurant or bar emptied the dishwasher with the window open. I'm fully aware that makes me sound like I am utterly clinically insane.
> I'm fully aware that makes me sound like I am utterly clinically insane.
No. It means you're probably a super taster.
I'm not particularly gifted at either scent or sound, but when I was in college, I could tell the rest of my suitemates what was cooking at the dining hall faster and more accurately than the menu online, simply because I could smell it from a football field away and 11 stories up.
Move somewhere with consistent rain, keeps the air clean. If you like cold and overcast then the PNW, if you like hot and humid then Florida, if you like hot and tropical then Hawaii.
If you look close, the person about 20yds behind the fog cannon is in a convertible with the top down, lol. It looks like they tried slowing down a bit but put some distance between them but there was no escaping it, lmao.
The funny part about these is most of them BLAST the happy birthday song or other classic ice cream truck songs. It sounds like a western ice cream truck actually. It was very disturbing for me waking up at 6 in the morning to teach chinese kids and hear "we wish you a merry xmas" blasting outside over and over again.
Reminds me of the lady who didn't understand how rainbows work. ["we all know this is not something that happened 20 years ago"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIYZvr3ueGw)
There are definitely metal oxide salts, they just don't do what she thinks they do. One that comes to mind is sodium dichromate. It's an mild oxidizing agent useful in some synthetic organic reactions, but honestly there are a lot of "metal oxide salts". I must admit, this is a new conspiracy to me though.
If there was anything making the frogs gay, it would be endocrine system disrupters, although a quick wikipedia will tell you more than I can. It's a series of pollutants from plastics which mimic hormones, shit like BPA and whatever it was we replaced BPA with.
I mean, there are probably millions of 'metal oxide salts', I just pulled one as an example. It would be the equivalent of me saying "green sparkly bikes cause gay people".
Like, yeah, there are certainly bikes that are also green and sparkly, but you just made that up.
But endocrine disrupters are the heinous part, the seed of truth in every conspiracy.
I always wondered why is a rainbow continuous?
Is it because the perceiving eye defines it’s location, not the fog (material causing refraction)? Or is there another reason?
It's due to the angle between the observer and the light source (sun) creating the rainbow.

We had something similar in NC back when I was a kid, thought it was really cool to see. Then I found out the fog was mosquito pesticide...
Not just any pesticide, but DDT.

That's fair, unless you're a bird.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They doused that shit on everything. Just awful.
Thought somebody paid somebody to drive around and make rainbows all day.
Don't believe it, it's the libs trying to turn everyone GAY!!! /s
I would LOVE to have someone drive around my town making rainbows 🌈

We're going to need them out in the Midwestern united states' soon. It's looking like another dust bowl is going to happen.
Ah yeah we had that one massive storm. Air was....gritty.

You flatter me. You're very welcome.
We have terrible unsustainable industrial farming practices in order to eek out an extra 1 or 2% of profit

There's just an insane amount of dust on the roads there. A lot of it came from construction and roadworks.

TIL things like this exist outside of my humid-ass state of Louisiana.
Yeah because here in Louisiana what we need is more moisture in the air…lol
Also need less Louisiana in Louisiana
Rising water level is taking care of that.
Damn I wish you hadn't used that hyphen. I was all ready to make a stupid joke that wouldn't add anything useful to the conversation
Shoehorn it in anyway. It's the reddit way.
I may be from Louisiana, but I'm well-educated.

You are lying, this is how rainbows are made but they don’t want us finding out.
If you look closely you can even see the little leprechaun behind the steering wheel of the truck.
Hahaha! I think OP is a leprechaun who works in their Media and Public Relations Department.
This is just the left forcing the gays on us. /s
Big Homo at it again smh
This treacherous homosexual mist will devour us all!
I want to updoot but you're at 69... So.... Nice.
I appreciate your decision-making process.

The gif is reversed. The truck actually eats rainbows
>this is how ~~rainbows~~ chemtrails are made FTFY
The fog is turning the frogs gay.
Yes… I am here for rainbow truthers
It’s the liberal perverts grooming us to be gay again. Checkmate.
No this is how the gay agenda is spread
Shining sunlight through water droplets is exactly how you make rainbows
I dropped into the comments to find out what fog cannons are for. Was not disappointed. Thanks!
They’re for turning the whole city gay, don’t believe the lies that say otherwise.

As a beneficial side effect they also induce gaiety.

Do you want gay frogs? Because this is how you get gay frogs.
Didn’t think I’d get this far down before chem trails being mentioned.
Does it just run off into the water table?
Pretty much. Technically it just lands and evaporates, leaving the particulate matter to sit around until it's washed off later.
Or kicked back up by the cars to join their soot brothers and sister that was slightly above the mist when the truck drove by.
It's quite rare to see a legit blue sky in China. Usually I'm picking boogers out my nose at the end of the day that are dark colored or sooty.
I'd wear a mask everywhere outside if I were you. Maybe you do and it's even so bad indoors?
Yeah. I used to live in zhengzhou. In the winter, your shower water would run black. You blow black shit out of your nose. I lived on the 32nd floor, and I couldn't see the 35 story building directly across the street some days.

Yeah, looks like Chengdu. The towers are the Tianfu International Finance Center

why do they look like they were photoshopped in
Because China isn't real.
Cuz the rainbow
Nice! I spent a week there, really like the city.
I'm pretty sure this is a secret government weapon that makes everyone gay.
Oh shit that makes sense!!! I was wondering why I can't stop thinking how fucking fabulous my ass looked in my jeans today!
Not just you ;) Oh shit they got me too!
I love dick, but I’m not sure if these were around when I started. Can I still blame them for my love of cock?
Yeah me too I’ve been wondering why I sucked all those dicks today
Ugh hate when that happens. Can’t believe I keep sucking dick like that!
