Stop filing taxes. Tea party 5.0. Buy tea instead and literally throw it at them. Like physically, with a cannon.

Only do taxes if the government owes YOU money. If you owe them they can fuck right off.

A proper easy would be for everyone to modify their W4 to withhold $0.

That would definitively cause shock. The problem is how to coordinatw this with everyone else?

Out of curiosity and totally unrelated, is it even possible to make munitions out of tea? Like, can you compress it into a sphere and fire it from a 17th century cannon, or would you just wind up with a bang and dense mist of tea?

This got me wondering.

I would be shocked if someone, probably British, had not fired tea from ship cannon at some point or another during the tea trade

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Sounds like a question for the hydraulic press guy. See if tea compresses.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I think it would, but I also think it may just create a blockage that makes the cannon sort of explode, hurting anyone nearby?

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Tea, regardless of how compressed, would be weaker than the wall of the cannon. So it would be a mist of tea leaves.

Just add water.

Man I wish Mythbusters was still around

I think it would be easier to compress it to the shape of cylinder, not sphere, and technically you can shoot it, but it will will dissembody during the shooting, like projectiles in the shooting, so the tea will travel a cone in space and probably do not much harm because of small weight of the particles.

I'm owed a refund every year. If I don't file taxes the feds get to pocket that money and throw me in jail. Yay, fight the power!
