  • Just a silly joke of course. Gallows humor. In order to combat climate change you'd have to re-design how we live and work and our economic system and reset existing wealth inequalities, re-design and rebuild thousands of industrial processes, and change multiple systems that are in place. For example you'd at least have to:

    1. Ban advertising to reduce desire/demand for consumption
    2. Ban patents (at least in the current form) so industrial processes can be re-designed and rebuild without roadblocks
    3. Nationalize news and social media and turn them into a cooperative under the control of the workers there
    4. Invest into R&D for circular economy and development and regulation for long lasting appliances and goods that last decades with repair and maintenance

    Basically what we learned is that it's practically impossible for humanity as a global civilization to stop climate change. Most people can't even bear to think about the steps it would take.

    Of course, developing the technology for a sustainable circular economy for the basic needs (food, energy, education, building shelters, communication etc) is still worthwhile.

  • Nah you'd have a chimney. The main reason I want a "separating drying toilet" is that it would have a fan and wouldn't smell at all in your bathroom. And you'd probably also have a separating toilet as first step, then dehydration which can be closed cycle, and then either burning or compositing. And with that and biodegradable soap and detergents, sanitation becomes much less infrastructure intensive.

  • Ironically crashing the economy is one of the best things you can do to slow down climate change

  • Basically amps is capped at 5 ampere, so it's watts / 5. So for 20V you need 100 watt. USB Power Delivery specification revision 2.0 does up to 240W with 48V which is pretty awesome.

    I'd love a 20V battery for power tools that just has a USB3 plug instead of special chargers.

  • The only thing smart I want is a faucet that activates with button OR the knee / foot sensor, and gives water always with a precise programmed temperature and flow.

    That and a temperature and timer controlled frying pan.

    Well an incinerating toilet that just dries burns my shit using a 340W solar panel would be cool too.

  • Haha I imagine they need at least unique ip addresses to count. Now I wonder if for clicks to count you need to properly click through and load the target website with the same "browser fingerprint".

  • Just inject a bunch of GAC (granular activated carbon) directly into your arm!

  • Interesting, was wondering about this. This would also "help" the websites with more ad income right?

  • I'd rather have a ultralight carbon fiber donkey carriage

  • Any spices or sauces?

  • Should have added "Also I die every time you people stop talking to me anyway..."

  • yup

  • My name is Lachdanan, and I am cursed. Once the captain of King Leoric's army, I lived only to honor my land and my king. No man has a greater love for his king than I had for mine, even as I drove my blade through his dark and corrupted heart.

  • I thought the republicans only had to threaten a filibuster but didn't actually have to do it. But democrats have to do it live?

  • I think by now it's mostly driven by social media which is international in algorithm, access to influence and partly in content. Or useful propaganda is repackaged by european politicians and influences. Monkey see monkey do. And we only have 3 international news agencies, so only really 3 news papers.

  • As always America is at forefront of the world, and where the USA leads Europe will follow! 😒

  • The USA was a rogue terrorist state already for decades in it's meaning for foreign policy and illegal wars. They did a worse thing than Russia did with Ukraine when they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan with flimsy excuses, except it was not a country on their doorstep but on the other side of the world.

    Nobody is "aware" of this. People continue talking about US doing this or helping that as if they were not a rogue state.

    So far Trump hasn't done anything irreversible "rogue state" in regards to international relations. He constantly sprays shit everywhere to get people to loose their minds. Yeah he's threatening to invade any nation where they could plunder, but he's only saying the quite part out loud. The US has been doing that for decades.

    I also don't believe (hope) that Trump actually will start a war. It's not his stage. It's a long complicated affair where he isn't in the spotlight and doesn't get to shine and control the narrative with chaos and then hop onto the next thing the next week. He might bomb this or that as long as it's quick to do, but he only wants to appear as the big man. Obviously this is just speculation.

    If you mean "failed state" or no longer a democracy, I don't think people think that already. They assume they can vote again for another obama / biden type in 4 years.

  • Instead of fumigation, can you breed them, release them in a house to kill all the cockroaches, then lure them back into their mobile home with food?

  • The USA would need a reformation and political purge after Trump to become a first world democratic country again. And put a lot of these motherfuckers into prison for life via special tribunals. Including half the supreme court lol

  • Trump says shit all day like a fire hose just to spread terror and keep everyone muddied. But he's old and will die sooner than later. The question is if MAGA manages to continue his style.
