  • Vaping in cars with children could be banned under new plans

    Jump

  • Afaik theres no passive smoking with vapes so this seems like yet another "think of the kids" populist bullshit.

  • Astronomers witness vanishing star collapse into a black hole in Andromeda galaxy

    Jump

  • We’ve seen stars disappear before (presumably forming black holes), but this is by far the clearest and most detailed observed example. It strongly confirms the theory of “failed supernovae,” where sufficiently massive stars collapse directly into black holes without a bright explosion. This implies the universe likely contains far more stellar-mass black holes than previously estimated.

    As an amateur, I briefly thought that this could help us address the issue of dark matter but from what I gather - no. Even with this increase of black holes the new matter would not be even close to addressing the dark matter gap (like orders of magnitude off still)

    TL;DR: confirms that the universe has more stellar-mass black holes than thought but nothing major of it.

  • E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

    Jump

  • I live in south east asia and motorbikes are the dominant transporation tool here and yes fast e-bikes are absolutely motorbikes. They would be treated here the same way and law wise but the adoption is very low because compared to a motorbike it's mostly a meme/entertainment vehicle as good ol motorbike is far superior and actually cheaper vehicle.

  • Remember when they said "it was not a nazi salute"? Aging like milk and this point it's just mostly mold.

  • "i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"

    Jump

  • Advertisers have made their bed too. I almost fell for some scam/phishing ads myself and that's it for me - no ad is ever showing up on any machine under my control. If you can't maintain your side of a social contract then you lost it.

  • Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet

    Jump

  • What is there to understand? It's just a decentralized protocol - in fact, you don't need to understand to use it. Just connect to chat server like you'd connect to one in discord.

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • Not the same thing. Every european country already has domestic Troy.

  • Severe and widespread coral reef damage during the 2014-2017 Global Coral Bleaching Event

    Jump

  • I've been scuba diving for almost 20 years now and every year it feels like we're closer and closer to a complete ecosystem collapse. This might not be all life ending event but just as global warming it'll be extremely bad if not civilization ending catastrophe. Coincidentally ocean collapse would greatly contribute to global warming as most carbon->oxygen conversion is done by the ocean, not the trees as pop culture often portrays.

  • New Epstein photo of ‘wild’ dinner with Musk and Zuckerberg emerges

    Jump

  • Clearly he was a smart guy so him risking the photo must be worth it? Well at least he thought it was worth it which makes you wonder why.

  • New Epstein photo of ‘wild’ dinner with Musk and Zuckerberg emerges

    Jump

  • Don't mind me, just emailing myself a picture I secretly took of our totally mundane dinner. OK.

  • Epstein funded organisations linked to Zionist terrorism, FBI document says

    Jump

  • You know what's weird is that in reality there are no China apologists like you see on the web these days. I live almost full time in Asia and even Chinese here (that can speak English as I don't speak Mandarin) are aware how fucked their government is and don't even bother justifying it but some tankies in high income european countries are spamming .ml of how amazing CCP is.

  • Epstein funded organisations linked to Zionist terrorism, FBI document says

    Jump

  • It has but no one's paying attention. It's a country where you can't even type "LGBTQ" in a private text message - that's bare minimum litmus test and China has always been failing it.

    No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • US is full of companies that publicly claim to manipulate reddit threads as PR protection. They all do it exactly like you'd expect - people with dozens of phones going through threads writing shit. Even if users are banned and their phone fingerprinted they just dump the phones for new ones.

    Reddit knows could actually sue them and very likely to win but that would be a lot of attention at them.

    The best part of this is - if commercial PR companies can afford to run this then what China, Russia and such are doing must have absolutely bonkers. There's very little internet actually left organic.

  • Epstein files include records of FBI tip line including numerous accusations against Donald Trump

    Jump

  • Also FBI reports are not casual - lying can be punished by up to 5 years in fedaral prison. It's not a place where to go troll someone especially since you wouldn't gain much from it either. Yet FBI here neither prosecuted the liers or investigated the claims.

    I'm not an american but this clearly reeks of either incredible incompetence or incredible malice.

  • Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Ran Kremlin’s Largest Honeytrap and Blackmail Operation

    Jump

  • I'd imagine that's how all black market spies work these days. Sell product and buy protection while making everyone complicit. What is CIA to do - they could not work with him "ends justifies the means" and "our guy's there need protection" basically means that everyone's in it to some extent at least.

  • Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

    Jump

  • Nah americans are very familiar with debt being the country with the most personal debt in the history of the world. If only they took debt for investment not for buying a new truck.

    This is entirely on people's lack of trying.
