jingjai9 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 THE DAY HAS COME. It is inevitable that the time would come when there were just too many cars, and fossil fuels motors running. How could anyone think anything different? This whole system of more and more cars on the road was never sustainable and now the moment of truth is here. Perhaps the air quality will improve in the coming weeks, but of course it will not be gone. As it always goes, drastic situations require drastic solutions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soi Dog Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 14 hours ago, Hayduke said: The government will, of course, be using nothing but the finest, premium quality smog-reduction molasses. Exclusively available from the Somchai & Somchai Trading Co. at the special promotion rate of 15 million Baht per liter. Maybe, but the real money will be in supplying colostomy bags for mols who can no longer give a s**t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantom Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Molasses is produced from suger cane, the burning of which is the major source of the pm2.5 particles. This is barking! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneton Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Quote Wiki - Bangkok city proper covers an area of 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi), ranking 69th among the other 76 provinces of Thailand. Of this, about 700 square kilometres (270 sq mi) form the built-up urban area. So that is one drone for every 14 km2 of the urban area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Great instead of really making money someone got awarded a lucrative contract to operate drones that will have close to zero impact. Just ban diesel pickups from Bangkok especially old ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantom Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 So they plan to spray the city with a product which is produced from the major source of the smog ------ suger cane production. True military thinking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captnhoy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Awww c'mon, if a hearse runs over your clothes and brings you good luck, surely 500 litres of molasses will clear the skies over the small town of Bangkok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post webfact Posted January 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2019 UPDATE: Smog crisis: Plans to deploy drones with molasses abandoned The authorities in Bangkok have decided to abandon the idea to deploy drones with water laced with molasses to reduce the city's 2.5 PM pollution. It was previously suggested that this would be a good idea. Now the plans have been ditched - the 50 drones will just have plain water. Sanook suggested that people were starting to get worried about getting all sticky as Bangkok prepared to be sweetened up on Thursday. The authorities decided that dumping molasses on the capital would do more harm than good. It could help infectious diseases abound and make the population sicker than they already are, said Sanook.

Popular Post Just1Voice Posted January 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2019 Having spent the summers of my youth on a massive tobacco & hog farm, where molasses was a breakfast staple, as well as at lunch sometimes, I had to laugh when I first read about this idea. My wife asked me what was so funny, so I had to explain to her what molasses was, and what would happen if it were sprayed into the air. When I was done, she looked at me and said "Oh my god! What idiots". 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
