   Days?? They'll find glitter in their underwear 5 YEARS from now!

   Also, please tell me this is true.

     @juliewebgirl I've been looking for 2 days of any evidence this is true and it appears to be a weird internet rumor/meme being spread that has no basis in reality

     Forgive me, I'm an armchair fashionista, so please take this with a grain of salt. I welcome boosts if fellow mastodonians would like to see wider contribution to the topic.

     I propose, for this thought-experiment on the rapid delivery of fashion in a hypothetical European dystopia, that:

     - the best delivery system for a glitter + adhesive mix intended for application to a person's clothes would be a brush of some kind, thus helping avoid application to the mouth and eyes. I would suggest some sort of clutch purse whose outer is removed or springs back to expose the (previously airtight) compartment of glitter and glue, but I'm sure there are countless alternatives.

     - empty vehicles could be decorated by - after ascertaining the prevailing wind direction and taking safety measures - delivering a glitter/glue mix via some kind of disposable leaf-blower apparatus. This could permit application avoiding the windscreen and front windows of the vehicle. The person applying would of course wear a disposable boiler-suit and PPE, although I accept it would be a shame to dispose of, because it will probably look fabulous.

     - there might be merit in having separate teams for adhesive-application and for operating the glitter-thrower. The former might be suited to reserved individuals operating in close personal space, and the latter might be a good fit for extroverts.

     - in time, develop visible markers for those who don't wish to look fabulous. This might be something like wearing a badge, or perhaps a paperclip: https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/09/the-paperclip-was-used-as-a-symbol-of-resistance-during-world-war-ii/

     @juliewebgirl technical question: wouldn't the people throwing the Glitter be glittered for weeks as well? And therefore taken as ICE agents?
     I'm asking because i fear in Europe we get all this fascism stuff a few years later and i want to be prepared.

     @fskornia Yep...

     If I would try anything with any kind of projectile launcher, I'd try longer-range indirect fire, so that they don't see me that easily. One would ideally have forward observers too.

     @wonka @superjan73 @juliewebgirl The problem I see with paintball guns is that they look too much like real guns and we know how twitchy and prone to violence US law enforcement can be.
     Bright colored party balloons are less threatening. But absolutely fill those balloons with odorant-laced water and glitter. Make these people's families cringe when they come home twinkling and smelling of rotten eggs.

     @fskornia Air cannons launching cardboard cups full of glitter, and paintball guns launching paintballs filled with odorants and glitter.

     @superjan73 @juliewebgirl Depends on the delivery mechanism. Water balloons filled with water and glitter would be a good ranged option. Confetti cannons could work, but you would want to mind the wind direction.
