And it's not even an election year. I've grown to dread election years.

Politics is everything, and since the fascists are trying to take over they'll turn absolutely every possible opportunity into culture war bs instead of staying the hell out of people's lives, and spending taxes on those who pay them.

It's a reference to DeSantis receiving recently a snowflake art piece where every spike of it was a fairly hard to read text fascist that he took a picture with.

> Larger than milk pans

Americans will use anything but the metric system to measure things.

As an American I have no idea what a milk pan is so I'm just as confused.

Milk pan, abbreviated "mp" is part of the metric system, hence not being taught to most Americans.

Ten times smaller are individual egg pans, or "ep".

Ten times larger you've got pizza pan, aka "pp".

So what you’re telling me is that even a small pp is still adequate?

Pretty sure it’s just a really big bowl, kinda like a fruit bowl, it was used for separating milk and cream by letting it sit till the cream rises to the top

No.

And the last time this was posted and debunked,

This is the line that was highlighted from the article

> “due to lack of photographic evidence”

Reports of pie plate sized snowflakes from soldiers waiting out a storm in 1887 probably included a large measure of alcohol and bullshit.

Weird, all my milk pans are 16 inches wide.

Edit: TIL what a milk pan is. A small sauce pot with a little spout on the edge, for heating milk. Still a weird comparison.

I have no idea what you were doing Googling "world's largest snowflake", but I appreciate the tenacity, OP.

Yep, they'll be the right wingers protesting whatever innocuous thing somebody else told them to be scared of that week and amusingly calling everyone else snowflakes.
