FYI, this guy is no longer a representative, he lost his primary this year to another MAGA chud.
He looks like the stereotypical person I think of when I think of someone from Alabama, only he’s dressed in a suit.
Rocks fall. Republicans die.
I wish
Is it the tumbling or the landing?
I mean, ice is a rock. It melts and enters the ocean, causing sea rise. So … technically correct?
When I see a congressman from Alabama who’s this dumb, I suspect that representative democracy works.
I mean, they gave us Tommy “all pilots are furries” Tuberville, so you are correct.
Tommy Tuberville, the republican senator from Alabama from Florida.
Dummy Dummerville
Would furries falling into the ocean cause the sea level to rise, or would they absorb and float?
Asking the important questions!
This man is denser than any rock. I say let’s ship him out to the middle of the ocean drop them in and see.
This is the second-dumbest thing I’ve ever heard a Southern Representative say about the ocean.
As we all know, islands are floating platforms chained to the bottom like those lilypads at water parks.
That guy sounds so fucking stoned lol, and not just his (lack of) logic 😄
all praise the sentient albino…
I mean, it’s technically true right?
Like, if a rock falls into the ocean, then that amount of space is displaced. It would be like arguing that the amount of rubber tires leave behind causes the roads to rise in elevation, but it’s not wrong per-se.
Actually when sediment goes into the ocean from rivers it eventually causes a load to build up on the seabed and this causes it to subside. So generally sea level does not rise because the entire crust is sinking into the mantle. However, there are local effects like flexure which causes the crust to bow up adjacently, which could ironically cause the local sea level to fall. By sea level I technically mean shoreline regression.
The brittle crust maintains something called isostacy as it floats buoyantly on the ductile mantle, think of it like an ice cube floating in water with 10% always above the surface. That relative 10% doesn’t change despite the addition or subtraction of ice to the top of the cube, only the absolute height changes.

A sea level is not the same as the sea level rise.
It is technically true to say that rocks falling into the sea cause the sea level to rise. It isn’t true to say that they cause the sea level rise.
Who told Mo about this Archimedes’ principle? You known that it’s dangerous for him to learn things!
