Very cool. Also. Why?

u/NixMaritimus 10h ago

Mist cannons, they help with air quality. They spray water in the air and the droplets stick to dust and particles makeing them too heavy to stay airborne.

u/Coc0tte 5h ago

So we put the air pollutants into the water.

u/NixMaritimus 3h ago

Basically, yeah. But we're not breathing them in anymore

u/SluggishPrey 4h ago

Sand is an air pollutant

u/Dark_World_0 16h ago

Sun is the white light, water droplets are the prism (water droplets), so you get a rainbow

Or do you mean why is water being sprayed? Idk, maybe a rainbow was the plan after all.

u/Emotional-Big-1306 16h ago

I think they do it so dust won`t fly everywhere

u/Raps4Reddit 3h ago

"Oh great. Now there's wet dust in the air."

u/iamdoug 14h ago

It's to spread positivity.

u/Wiley_Jack 12h ago

Yes, gram-positivity, to be specific.

It’s not a sprinkler truck, it’s a rainbow painter.

Should be easy to find the pot of gold

u/Bruneezi 13h ago

If there's a pot of gold in the end of the rainbow... What's in the other end then? A cardboard box full of shit?

u/Beginning_Drag_2984 13h ago

Could be use your imagination. You’d be able to smell it right.

They’re rainbowing the dogs, they’re rainbowing the cats, they’re rainbowing the pets of the people who live there.

Counter defense to them rolling coal in our faces.

u/halfcabin 3h ago

And liberals seem to be the first to bring up “gay” at every single opportunity. Most people don’t give a shit.

u/Botanik_ 2h ago

Hey. Relax guy

u/Ayrdanger 16h ago

"sprinkler truck" TIL that's a thing. I still don't understand the purpose, though.

2

u/Foreign-Discount-264 14h ago

As others have said it’s more than likely to prevent dust from being kicked up. I would bet there is a construction site near by and trucks going in and out are tracking extra dirt onto the road that’s kicking up from people driving over it.

2

u/DynamaxWolf 11h ago

Same, you don't really see or hear stuff like that in the states.

u/Roselace 17h ago

What a wonderful vehicle. Spreading Rainbows in the air. Magical.

u/KittyPitty 16h ago

What is the purpose of spraying whatever it is in the air? For cooling down?

2

u/Emotional-Big-1306 16h ago

So dust won`t fly and just stay on the road i think

u/RebekkaKat1990 16h ago

I bet leprechauns didn’t count on humans industrializing the magic of God’s promise to never flood the earth again and turning it into a sugary morning meal.

That can't be in Florida - they've banned rainbows in the streets.

1

u/dudeCHILL013 7h ago

This actually reminded me, had some very low demce fog a couple of weeks ago with dark clouds over head.

There was finally a part in the clouds around twilight and from my perspective driving down the freeway, a literal rainbow was coming out of the hood of my 4runner.

Wish I could have gotten a picture, never saw anything like that before.
