No, they’ve moved on to “DEI” as their racist dogwhistle now. Keep up.

“I’d never even heard of this 2 weeks ago, but after watching a single 90-second segment on Fox News, it’s all I can talk about and clearly the reason why the country is failing!”

Cue the left-wingers being rage-baited about the right wingers protesting the new “woke” leaf blowers.
All the while the leaf blower manufacturer is getting free publicity.

Coming soon: The all new, all American, COAL powered leaf blower.
Now with a slide whistle and megaphone attachments for extra annoying noises.

Whistle goes, “Woo, woo,” but that’s only in the mo’ning.

I'll let my gas powered leaf blower running all day now to make your woke blower useless. Get owned, sucker

There certainly are plenty of people who use those things because they enjoy being obnoxious twats.

The same kind of morons rolling coal and destroying their engines.

I instantly imagined someone rolling coal with their leaf blower… you know it’s going to happen, even if they’re not diesel.

This is very true. I just know my neighbour wouldn’t choose a quieter option if he had the chance

Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower cloud is less “watch me stick it to the libs” and more “look at me, I’m cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you”
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And by “cleaning my yard” they really mean “blowing whatever I consider a mess onto whatever is beside my yard, or in the general vicinity for the dust”.

I use things that work because typically over engineered things (like the ‘quiet’ leafblower) are most likely very problematic and will fail. I just do not trust anything new anymore. Companies did this and forced me to stop caring about ‘innovation’ with their constant lies and fraud.

Blowing leaves around instead of removing it, isn’t ideal then.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, I figure that’s the kind of thing they’re going to say.

No we obviously need more cheap plastics that will dry rot in your shed and shitty rubber grips that will turn to sticky goo in five years, as well as lowest bidder designed control circuitry with a dozen corners cut.
I get what you mean, modern power tools feel like Fisher Price toys. They're disposable.
