Oh no!😱

Yeah, visible light is in the range of about 400 THz (red) to about 790 THz (purple, indigo and violet are made up nonsense colours from Newtons numerology obsession with the number 7, I will be taking no questions at this time), so the middle of the visible light spectrum is EM radiation about 10000 times the frequency (and as the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, about 10000 times the energy) of the radiation they are worried about.

The only group that likes Mumford and Sons are algorithms that recommend music based on your tastes. And they only know Mumford and Sons as the guys that did Little Lion Man.

Isn't that what everyone knows them as? Not only in the sense that's the only popular song they have, but that all of their songs sound the same.

I'm going to guess it's a different one, as the person is actively tweeting that his tesla burned up two months ago and not a year and a half ago, and the owner appears to not be dead?

At the end of that article, which describes how the poor guy is trapped in the car and burned alive:

After the crash, and after firefighters extinguished the blaze, Awan’s Tesla was transported to a tow yard. Once there, it reignited and burned again.

As others have said, wrong country sub-genre. But it's still exactly what you should expect because whiny, over-serious folkrock is exactly the kind of music the "intellectual" fascists who think Any Ngo is smart would listen to. Fetishize rural life and a false image of a better past but think you're too smart for bro country? Heres some vaguely Americana folk music with the blues elements stripped own as much as possible, the social criticisms removed completely, and no shrill women's voices to disturb your Walden Pond fantasy.

Purple isn't on the light spectrum. Violet and purple are different things

Indigo is bullshit though

Indigo is the dye traditionally used for denim. What Newton described as blue is closer to what we'd call cyan nowadays.

The colour that was shoe-horned in for sevens was orange.
