And have to dig up even more earth using even more big machines? If you did a 50ft power line underground, that's 50 ft of earth that has to be dug up, not to mention what happens whenever something inevitably goes wrong and you have to dig it all up again. Then you also have to bury transformers, which means you need to cool them.

There's many, many good reasons that we use power lines over burying them. Mostly, power lines are so significantly cheaper and easier that it's not even comparable. I've seen the bill when a buried fiber line gets broken. It is crazy expensive.

Fascists co-opt other groups and movements constantly because fascists don't create, they only take and destroy. But hydro homies is well past it's incredibly edgy start and is now just the liquids equivalent of Linux users - never shutting up about how superior they are for doing a minor thing.

Fascists definitely love the in group-ness of it, but there's no "only soda" group that's fighting them and therefore no one to point to as an "other" to forward fascist ideals. Hydro homies is extremely low on the priority for the fascist pipeline. They are incredibly obnoxious when they leak out though.

Also, I vote the potential only sodas group to be called the "soda jerks"

Cats are hell on local small wildlife like mice, rabbits, and squirrels. Outdoor cats will just hunt for fun and kill a ton of critters

This reminds me - I saw spinner wheels in public for the first time in probably 15+ years yesterday. I was genuinely shocked to see them. Man I hope they do not make a comeback.
