Sorry if it’s not clear. I was just thinking… It would be easy, right? It would take a ton of Roundup, but one could sneak into, say, corn fields and spray down a bunch of corn such that people flying over would see a big wang or a funny message, right? Farmers don’t keep that close a watch, right?
They would definitely notice. Modern farming equipment is way more technologically advanced than most people think it is. I used to work for a company that manufactured the electronics for farming equipment; it was usually some of the most high tech stuff we built and we also made the boards for medical equipment. So even if the farmer didn’t notice, their equipment definitely would. Specifically, most new crop sprayers and fertilizer spreaders will actively monitor soil nutrient levels and crop health to determine exactly how much of whatever they’re spreading needs to be spread in each location. Patches of crops hit with weed killer would definitely start throwing up some red flags in that software. You’re far better off just making old school crop circles with a plank on a rope.
Now as far as morality/legality goes, this would definitely be vandalism and depending on how many crops you destroy likely even a felony. Crops are insured so you really wouldn’t hurt the farmer too much. However you would incur the wrath of an insurance company. So if you value your financial well being and staying out of prison, I would not mess with a farmers crops.
So you’re going to use an herbicide that is horrible for the environment to destroy some random farmers crop and draw a dick… Wow real cool joke man.
You dont understand what this community is for.
Rule 2 - Your question cannot be illegal. I think you don’t understand what the community is for.
Shouldn’t be a rule, at least not one that broad. Ruins the fun imo.
This community is for ecoterrorism?
Hypothetical questions about details of a nonviolent crime should be allowed.
…. I can’t tell if you’re fucking with me lol. So, I just say “hypothetically” at the end of all my questions about illegal shit and that makes it okay?
I see the logic if someones asking about a violent offense, but hypothetical questions about nonviolent crime are totally ok.
“Hypothetically if I scammed old people out of money what’s the best way to not get caught” “Hypothetically what’s the best meth recipe” Yeah, no problems with that lol
This violates rule 2. Bioterrorism is not funny.
Last I checked hypothetically asking the likelihood of getting away with a crime is not an “illegal question”. Dont even get me started on the snoody oversimplification of “Bioterrorism is not funny”.
You have any idea how much Roundup costs?! Just cut the plants down instead of spraying them.
Sure you could. You might even get away with it once. Given their investment, I’d imagine that most farmers now have pretty good security systems. I’m certain that most farmers back home would figure out who did it, then take care of the problem.
so you want to make crop circles?

Illegal or legal aside, afaik nowadays most of these crops are made to withstand certain herbicides. That’s the whole business strategy of companies like Monsanto/Beyer, innit?
Withstand weeds and insects and fungi - not resistance to artificial chemicals.
Geez there are more tightasses here than in a PTA meeting
The people downvoting this are fucking idiots. There are NO stupid questions.
Yeah, no. Sometimes there are. Especially when they propose something illegal.
Nope, its a hypothetical. They asked a real question, with no implication of actually carrying out the action. The question is how likely you would be to get away with it. Hypothetical questions about illegal activity (especially one as obviously not serious as this) are not a stupid question, or one that should be frowned upon.
Rule 2 of this community is that the questions can’t be about something illegal. Trespassing and destruction of property are illegal. It doesn’t matter if it’s hypothetical.
Touché, but that rule is absolutely retarded.
