- emiliobumachar 9y agoWow, I did learn something today. "Rolling coal is a form of conspicuous air pollution, for entertainment or for protest."
- sten 9y agoNot without precedent. Salting the earth?
- zzalpha 9y agoThat was done for military strategic purposes, not simply for the lulz.
- maxerickson 9y agoIt probably only really happened for the lulz, as a ceremonial curse. They didn't have (literal) tons of salt to waste on spite.
- sten 9y agoSymbolically destroying small amounts of resources and depriving yourself and family of a clean environment to essentially complain. Hmm maybe scorched earth is the better description of whats going on here? Salting the earth is done by the aggressor, scorching the earth is done by the retreating party. I think it still fits.
