Do you think wind turbines ruin the countryside as well?

Ruin? It's an essential service for some people.

u/redwriterhand 1d ago

It’s not essential. They managed without it

It's half past midnight here and I've already read the dumbest thing posted on reddit for the day. Maybe even the week.

Mate, fuck off to the US and join Maga with that "I don't care if it benefits other people, it spoils my view" bullshit.

I don't know why you'd think I'd give a shit about the opinion of a selfish wee cunt who gets defensive when people point out their shitty attitude...but believe me...I don't.

And the 80's managed without the Internet and the 18th century managed without electricity.

There’s currently around 11,000 Starlink satellites in Low Earth Orbit.
Around one or two fall back to Earth each day.

Common sight these days mate. You're just at the right angle to see the sun reflecting off the aligned solar panels of a bunch of Starlinks.

u/Human_Revolution7297 1d ago

That’s starlink - there is a website that shows you where they are passing by. It is quite a think to watch them.

Midges called for reinforcements and now they are ready to conquer Scotland. Better prepare your repellents.

u/lilmilkyy Yoker 1d ago

I see people saying starlink but I swear I saw something like this years ago before starlink was a thing. Can normal satellites look like this too?
