This is too much snow and I would like to do things outside. I would like to replace winter with a second spring. If I get 10k signatures, Obama HAS to respond.

i like the snow it's pretty

I went sledding in the back yard today

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

You can have one snowstorm as a treat, but after the first the pretty is outweighed by wet and cold and slipping on ice.

I think you'll get your wish next year seeing as this is a La Niña year and it's still hotter than last year agony-deep

This petition is independent of climate change. I'm filing a second one after it succeeds which will reduce the forever summer to a 1990s level and do away with August.

Pissing on Caesar's grave?

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

He chose to have the sweatiest month and it's time we update things.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Granted. You now live in Texas

Hill Country at least? That's kinda pretty. Don't you put Dallas on me though.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fine, since you insist, you can live in Richardson.

Fun fact: Richardson doesn't use garbage cans, you're expected to just put the bags in the street when it's collection day

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Richardson is even worse. I was a bike commuter there and people would throw things at me.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's ridiculous, it's not even that uncommon for people to bike there. People are so entitled...

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Albeit in like 2010. I was somewhere off Audelia and Walnut Street was hell to ride down. Even now it seems like that area doesn't have bike lanes, albeit the sidewalks look more even.

I'd be fine with winter if it was cold and snowy the whole time. But I'm in "icky, mostly gray, dead plants" winter with random warm days but everything looks like shit and muddy and dead so I don't want to go out. Plus if it's snowy at least I have an excuse to be lazy and sleepy and cozy.

So yeah I want real winter not slimy floppy brown dead winter that's what I will sign for

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll only allow winter above 3000m in elevation. You can have a scenic winter but it won't impact anything below that.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

That's fine I'd love to live in a little alpine cabin that's half covered in grassy sod please

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

don't worry. Oil companies are currently getting rid of winter for us

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their plan involves a forever summer. I'm simply proposing Spring 2.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Quito tried the forever spring plan, but oil companies are trying to get rid of it

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

more like climatechange.org got'em

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

The climate will stay the same. It'll be better even.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

It was almost 80 today. It’ll be 82-83 tomorrow. I’m gardening this weekend. Spring is here it just hasn’t figured it out yet.

[–] rhubarb@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would do awful things for that 11 degree partly sunny day, here it probably won't go above 0 this month

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

That will be a nice day for bike commuting. Short of Sunday though, every other day is bringing more and more ice to the trails. That's unforgivable.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

No I'm comfy

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can the mountain ls still have winter? It's less fun sliding around on rocks than snow...

If so I'll sign the petition

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Especially not. I live in the Rockies. The mountains will have a permanent July where it's still pleasant and the wildflowers are peaking.

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

The wildflowers in the Rockies are tempting... Totally the most beautiful thing. I got married in a field of them infact. Alright I'll sign it.

Skiing is just snow golfing, change my mind
