Im also european but even in rural areas you tend to not have to drive american distances as often. Americans often consider anything below 3h drive a short drive (crazy right?)

1·23 hours agoI mean it kinda depends. If too much company money is spent on fake net traffic companies will see online ads with google arent working properly and be less willing to give them money. But it would have to become a real issue. one single person cant really break the system

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does a ~20% reduction in oil supply translate to a ~60% increase in price?

10·2 days agoHonestly this is just basic economics. If theres less supply but the demand stays the same the prices will continue rising until the demand matches the supply. If you for example say “I will have to buy gas to commute no matter what to make it to work” and many people use fuel like that it will shorten supply and make the prices go higher until people use up less fuel. Ofc I know oil is used for more than just fuel for cars to commute but this is just an illustration.
Thats also why subsidizing the prices directly is highly ineffective as it doesn’t actually mean there is more supply on the market and no incentive to save money. If people use a more limited supply of oil as if it was much as there is normally this will spike the prices again until supply and demand match again. Most likely direct subsidies go directly to the oil companies. And if many countries do this it turns into a bidding contest basically where every (except the oil companies that still supply) lose

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans?English
11·8 days agoI mean there a countries where a person can die by volition for example in switzerland, so if you have a disease and suffer a lot you can let yourself be euthanised. Things get messy because even the option can make it so people could gaslight each other into getting euthanized to get inheritance quicker and all sort of that nasty shit. And I guess animals can’t really spell out if they want to die or not.
When it comes to deciding for people who can’t decide for themselves, in germany you can allow somebody else before you fall in coma to decide about stuff for you regarding health so they can ask the doctors to turn the machine of keeping you alive.
I guess its also a strict taboo for doctors with the vow to protect lives. But there’s been a push for it in some parts of the world. There are also stings in history where people with mental illness were regarded as “not worthy of living” in nazi germany for example and basically killed. So thats one reason for example it also remains a taboo with many liberal countries rethinking on the (consentual) euthanasia for those suffering and having the legit wish to die.
In Germany where I’m from you’re legally allowed to be prescribed medication that ends your life but you have to administer it to yourself. There also the difference of passive and active euthanasia. Active is where doctors can administer it to you with consent. Passive is what I described for Germany. It should really be allowed more commonly in the world tho. The passive one sucks for people who are paralyzed and can’t administer it to themselves because anyone else that does it will only do so illegally

I do some OpenStreetMap editing, hang up posters for my political party of choice when its election time and whenever the opportunity arises and I have time. In a bit theres a Pen & Paper session where I will help out with my car for food logistics.
I mean I started degoogling and found osm pretty nice and liked editing it. Also I’m into politics so I do help on some occasions. Its not hard to start. It comes with an interest and I help out when it aligns for both sides. Although I guess I’m not volunteering in other social institution like food banks or so but I also try to donate a bit

How did spotify create the problem of AI music becoming reality? They are basically a platform. I get disliking their business model (even if i don’t share that opinion) but spotify did not create AI music generation. This is factually wrong
