Fuck, I have to change my opinion on leaf blowers.

It's interesting to watch the 2020 videos again

@wackJackle You must remember to bring the CORDLESS ones, though.

[peterbrown@mastodon.scot]

@wackJackle 😂😂😂👍🏼

[thejen@beige.party]

@wackJackle Was there. Can confirm.

It's AI

[wackjackle@norden.social]

@cryptica @sennoma Yeah, could be, but the point stands because that's what happened in Portland.

[wackjackle@norden.social]

@kirakira Yeah, could be, but the point stands because that's what happened in Portland.

I saw a comment that this image has been generated.

There's no "could be," it is.

I thought you might've given a shit about reducing AI misinfo. The post clearly implies it's a photograph from 2020.

[wackjackle@norden.social]

@viq There is a video in the comments. You can watch what happened in 2020. The image maybe AI generated but the message is more important. So I shared it.

[brianvastag@mas.to]

@wackJackle This looks like an AI-generated photo. Look at the brand name of the leaf blower. It's nonsense.

[wackjackle@norden.social]

@cryptica @sennoma The message is more important than your personal no-AI essentialism. There is a video in the comments about what happened in Portland.

Have a good day!

[cryptica@retro.pizza]

@wackJackle @sennoma

Same to you, buddy.

[lydialurch@mastodon.social]

@wackJackle Brilliant. Chef’s kiss.

[leslieburns@esq.social]

@wackJackle @dibi58 Milwaukee makes a great compact one…light, one-handed easily for anyone. 😁💪

[infrogmation@mastodon.online]

@cryptica @wackJackle @sennoma

Yeah. I used to follow on fbk, IMO person has some problems with their love for shitposting over accurate info combined with trying to police their idea of the exact way all resistance should be.

Cool concept, look at the actual video down this thread; the fake AI image is useless beyond getting attention at best.

[zimzat@mastodon.social]

@wackJackle @viq The couple of usages in the video look nowhere near as effective as the image implies. People are going to show up with a leaf blower and be ineffective without a properly fitted gas mask anyway. The blower mainly forces the opposition to also wear gas masks.

@LeslieBurns@esq.social @wackJackle@norden.social @dibi58@this.mouse.rocks Is it a battery powered one?? Or do they make a battery powered one...?

[mikemccaffrey@pdx.social]

@wackJackle @harpaa01 I wonder if you could also print a giant plastic whistle to go on the end of the leafblower and create the loudest warning sound possible.

[curiously@mastodon.au]

@wackJackle I use this workshop blower on rooftops and other hard to access areas, light very compact about double the size of a power drill, the black part on the front is removable (don't want to be looking like a gun) get about 20mins run time from 3mah battery. Enough power to blow gas or spray
