RE: Rain...And other annoying things

in OCD5 years ago

Holy smokes, it's the largest and deepest basin in the world! It seems like they have no choice but to do some more wells until the drought ends. If the drought doesn't end, then what? Just more fires all the time. The destruction will be almost incomprehensible.

Sort:  

Yeah, it's a big basin although only has so much pressure so drilling too many wells ends up affecting the overall pressure. There is an issue with water supply all over the world as there is only so much drinkable water available. The planet can only generate so much is what I mean. And yet we waste water all the time as if it's an endless commodity.

Oh yes, coming from a farm background I'm very aware of the world water situation and it's one of the few things that we in modern societies can really make a huge difference by the way we use or don't use water on an individual basis.

But at least over here that message is not being taught or emphasized so people waste thousands of gallons each year.

Same here...People hosing down their driveways when others don't have enough to have a shower. Weird huh? Still, people just don't seem to care. There's a guy not too far from me whose front of his house is virtually dirt, no grass at all, just scattered weeds and yet there he is, every second day watering it. Dumb-ass.

lol..I shouldn't laugh at that guy but he is out there watering weeds? Yeah, that's moronic!

Yep, a sign of the times...Moron is the new black. 🙄

"Moron is the new black." is that an Aussie thing? I don't know what that means sir galenkp.

The term, "the new black" is a popular term around the world. It means that something is popular, or I'm fashion.

It derives from the fashion industry in which black is considered classic, timeless and so always in fashion and popular or in demand.

It is an American term, coined many years ago, and used most recently in a television series called Orange is the New Black which is set in a prison.*

Ergo, moron is the new black, means being a moron seems to be the fashion these days.

I'm surprised you've not heard the term considering how widely spread it is utilised.
