- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 2 days ago:
no no, in fact i can sell you mine, too, if you want to, for a meager $21 million.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 2 days ago:
For anyone seriously considering this: don’t.
“The LNG market is set to rapidly grow” is a lie. Economies are shifting away from fossil fuels, and i guess by 2040 no metric ton of fossil fuels will be transported anymore.
This is a waste of money. They just want to get rid of their end-of-use LNG tankers. So they are looking for idiots to buy them.
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 2 days ago:
driver-less cars because they already exist
they are called trolleys

- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 days ago:
some people poop 3 times daily, others 3 times a week, both are considered normal.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 days ago:
I would guess (without knowing for sure) that it’s because your body absorbs a part of the food, so you poop out less mass than you eat.
- Comment on Is consciousness dependent on input to the brain? 2 days ago:
Well i read somewhere that in absence of signals the brain would just gradually become more sensitive until it even responds to things that aren’t there, basically hallucinating.

“pulling yourself up by the bootstraps” has always been this: an instruction by the ruling class “for the weed to weed out itself by the roots”.
You know what happens when a tree pulls itself up by the roots?
It starts walking, dancing even.It dies. - Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 3 days ago:

- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 3 days ago:
yeah, when interacting with a project/tool/website/etc. you need to look at who’s behind it and what are their incentives. For facebook, that’s making money with ads. So they push ads down your throat.
It’s important to have communal, public-benefit organizations behind the tool you use
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 3 days ago:
tbf, most posts on lemmy seem to be political as well.
We’d need to regulate the share of posts of
- politics
- technology
- entertainment
to be further on the side of entertainment and less on the side of politics.

if anybody can make a profit from enbottification, facebook wants to be the one to make that profit.

I think of GDP as muscle mass on a body builder.
At a certain point, it just stops making sense and being healthy.
Some can’t even scratch their own backs anymore, duh.
- Comment on Israel must face consequences over Gaza campaign: UN experts 4 days ago:
It’s a good article and it’s good that it’s spread.
I have given up hope to see quick improvements to the situation. I guess Israel will face consequences, but only in 20-40 years. Unfortunately.

- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 7 months ago:
I thought so too, but it doesn’t even make sense, because the only one they’re hurting this way is themselves.
If they don’t adopt EVs, it will be to their disadvantage in the long run.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 7 months ago:
republicans are raping the planet.
- Comment on Not happening, dude 8 months ago:
I’m mostly worried about the huge area consumption, tbh? Like, if you would replace all fossil oil with biodiesel, how much agricultural area would you need? Probably more than we have, I’d have to look it up, but it’s a lot for sure.
- Comment on Not happening, dude 8 months ago:
How about better public infrastructure, like trains and tramways? They don’t require lithium, and are fully electric.

Highly unlikely they will do any of this, so you should not worry ublock got you covered.

- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 8 months ago:
I don’t think so. I think we start being addicted when we have some serious trouble that we can’t deal with, and stop when that trouble is gone. Happened many times that way.
