And yet we have idiots in diesel trucks modded to "roll coal" cackling as they "own the libs" when they spew out soot.
- tqi 8y agoHave you or anyone you know actually seen someone rolling coal?
- cco 8y agoYes, pretty routine in small town rural Oregon.
- prepend 8y agoI have a close friend who spent a lot of money so they could “roll coal” on people. Only one person, but he talks about it a lot. A lot. He claims that he likes spewing this out onto people he doesn’t like. He’s never mentioned how awesome it is to pollute or anything. It’s the equivalent of spy hunter smokescreen.
- stevenwoo 8y agoDrive SF to San Diego a few times a year and there are a few all along the route when going off the main freeway, more in rural areas, but present. See a few while bicycling through Santa Cruz mountains to west of San Jose, there's one house I regularly pass in Pescadero that has two - it only takes a few miles of driving outside of downtown Los Gatos to get to more rural areas.
- ams6110 8y agoNot uncommon in most rural areas, from my observation. I see it weekly, more or less.
- pxeboot 8y agoI see people rolling coal several times a week here in Texas.
