    If you want to embed gifs you have to toggle the switch from suck to blow

    Lemmy works on markdown, so if you want to do anything, just look up “how to do x in markdown.” For example:

    itsfoss.com/markdown-images/

    If you want to learn more generally, there are many guides, e.g.:

    www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/

    And if you want to play around without other people seeing any mistakes you make, there are multiple web interfaces as well as local editors that will display your works in real time, such as:

    markdownlivepreview.com

    Hope this helps!

    I can just upload gifs like an image with Jerboa. Some other clients don’t work, because it becomes a jpg for some reason.

  I like it, it’s a good idea. Im still confused as to what form the carbon takes once extracted. Is it just a solid block?

    It’s gasuous CO2. The process pulls in water, acidifies it to release CO2 to air in a sealed space, pumps that water to the next phase which adjusts the pH back up to normal, then the CO2 poor water is pumped back into the ocean.

    Meanwhile, the CO2 in the previously mentioned sealed space is concentrated up to about 98%, but it’s still a gas. While this may or may not be a more efficient extraction system, it still has the same issue all extraction systems face: what to do with the extracted gas.

    Here’s their proposal with the details.

      Also, wow:

      Once the seawater is back in equilibrium with the atmosphere, a process that should take less than one year (Zeebe and Wolf-Gladrow, 2008), it is chemically indistinguishable from the seawater that came in.

      I thought this was a reasonably quick process, but a year? How do you buffer a years supply of sea water? You either need a massive massive plant, or this does not take in that much

    Yeah I think so.

    I wonder how they’d scale something like this up though if it’s a success?

      To be honest this is the one CC project that sounds easily scalable to me. You deploy one at every beach, taking up a residence or two nearby. Swimmers enjoy the low-CO2 water, and the sea handles the mixing. Burying the carbon might require some work
