Really disappointed that he didn’t mention how much you would have to water those plants daily to get up the 300 -400 kilograms ,once you planted the seeds.

I don't normally judge people by their appearance, but I'm willing to make an exception in Pascal's case.

Journalists are now selected not just for stupidity, but a specific type of stupidity that always faces left.

Thanks man, this brightened my day. What's that Voltaire quote? "Lord, make my enemies ridiculous?"

Appreciate the fact that you are, it seems, a native German speaker yet able to read, write and moderate this blog in English better than many (most?) college-educated Americans.

Keep up the good work!

So numpty ‘bun head’ thought that Hersh was saying that the explosives were disguised as plants so that if someone happened to be swimming by (as you do) they would therefore not notice them? Presumably the team that prepared the explosives charge would have been asked by their supervisor to take a look at a photo of the typical seaweed from the area and asked to mold the explosives (and paint it the right colour) to a simulacrum. Can you imagine the look on the navy divers faces when briefed on the requirement to swim around at great depth in murky freezing waters with a load of 20 foot long artificial seaweed .LoL 🤣

Bahahahaha!😂

They dedicated 4 paragraphs debunking the theory of “explosives shaped like plants”, with citations from an explosives professor, no less. That is so rich that I’m still grinning as I type this.

It is a useful reminder, however, that the vast majority of “journalists” are vapid morons without a stitch of self-awareness, humility, or common sense. And they dead set on regularly demonstrating it.

This is why I tell my daughter that she can't rely on Google translate for homework. Or, really, anything.

As the kids say these days, I just can't.

I suppose it might be fun to visit the world these guys live in, just to experience alternative reality on the cheap, but the costs in recalibrating our heads afterwards would, I think, be too much to risk for a little hilarity. I salute you for dipping your toes in this far. Wish I could send you those brownies as a restrorative.

He also missed the obvious "And we all know photosynthesis cannot occur inside of concrete protective covers."

Beware, beware, lethal botanists run amok on the Baltic seabed!

Exploding plants, which gives a whole new slant to Green ideology.

It must have been Spetsnaz horticulturalists on gardening duties.

That they blamed their lack of cognitive reading abilities on a “translation” error makes it even more ridiculous! They flat out read the article Hersh wrote wrong absolutely mistaking a verb for a noun in their own heads so it was not sone translation error from a computer or German to American language, etc. These two are just dumbasses that should not be allowed anywhere near reporting on any serious issues in our society!
