Also water, they consume heaps of fresh water which is used for important meat bag things like, oh I don’t know, eating and drinking perhaps.
No one is really challenging them on this, but water scarcity is going to be a big deal as climate change worsens.
Cook the planet and take all the water.
Supercomputers once required large power plants to operate, and now we carry around computing devices in out pockets that are more powerful than those supercomputers.
This is false. Supercomputers never required large [dedicated] power plants to operate.
Yes they used a lot of power, yes that has reduced significantly, but it’s not at the same magnitude as AI
None of that is terrifying at all /s.
Yes but we also consume CO2 if we’re part of a society which is net 0.
As i said up top, the infographic is designed to demonstrate the environmental problems caused by over population.
However, the methodology used to represent that impact is problematic.
I’m not saying overpopulation is not bad. I’m not saying you should have n children. I’m saying the numbers here dont withstand a moments critical thought.
How much carbon will a child born today emit in their lifetime?
Thats unknowable.
Your reference to emissions increasing since the industrial revolution is not a forecast.
The methodology here is kinda bs IMO.
They’re adding up the emissions of the descendants and dividing that by a parents life expectancy.
However, if a society achieves net 0, then surely the emissions of every person there in are 0, so it’s disingenuous to count them at today’s rates.
Its an attempt to illustrate the environmental cost of over-population, but it needs to be considered within the context of that methodology.
I’m in my mid 40’s.
It’s not particularly uncommon for people in regional Australia to own their own house with no mortgage by my age.
It’s pretty tough to find a family home that costs less than 10x average wage.
So, as a kind of line in the sand I’d say maybe a third of 45 year olds living in regional Australia could “survive” for 10 years with no income.
The consensus throughout this post is that its the brand of TP.
OP had a problem about cleaning, asked a question, received an answer, and know knows the solution which will enable them to clean their toilet.
You’re here trying to shame someone for asking a question about cleaning.
I’ve never seen this.
Fuck off.
I knew this would be here.
Q: “How do I clean my bathroom?”
A: “I clean my bathroom you dirty pleb”
The bum gun does take some practice.
You pretty much shuffle forward a little, position the BG behind the disaffected area, at an obtuse angle to your sphincter, ease on, I mean really ease on the gas until you can confirm that all splash is going down into the bowl, finally you can really pucker up and hit it.
The thing is… you still need some TP to dry off after.
I don’t really know anything about the situation you cited.
For any community hosted by a corporation like reddit, the answer has to be pretty much: no discussion of self harm in the first person will be tolerated.
For communities hosted in the fediverse it’s more complex. If I were an admin, I wouldn’t allow a community to discuss self harm in the first person on my instance for a variety of reasons but most of them boil down to: Mods just don’t have the skills, experience, and resources to discern between what is an appropriate or inappropriate discussion or comment.
While a safe place for this type of discussion could potentially be therapeutic in some way, the potential for harm is just too high.
You’re not a wallet. You’re an automaton producing value for capitalists.
They dribble a little money into your wallet each fortnight so you can buy subscriptions and delivered take away.
Yeah.
I’m in Australia, I suspect you might be also, but for reference a few months ago our centre-left party ground our centre-right party into the dust in a landslide election victory.
I suppose I agree that its not all bad news.
However, I’m gravely concerned about the US trajectory and I’m certain it will have an impact here sooner or later.
Right now our PM is trying to negotiate the current tariffs. The US will want us to increase military spending, and reduce investment in science and research. We might resist, but it’s certainly pressure to move in the wrong direction.
I dont think anyone cares about money anymore.
They can see the problems arising from climate change on the horizon and they’re creating a ruling class and a subservient class.
If you’re part of the ruling class you dont need money.
I dont think that’s it.
It’s an overwhelming case of “got mine”.
Like sanders said, being a GOP member just means staying in line.
Unfortunately I think Trumpism is lowering the bar. Maybe right now it’s not fascism everywhere, but there’s no doubt that on a decades time the world will be more fascist than it would have been without Trump.
Partly, yes. But also partly because world leaders have realised that if you don’t want the US to fuck you up the ass you need to say nice things to Trump, preferably combined with gifts.
Hol up. Didn’t NATO guy wank all over daddy’s boobs already?
It just nuts that anyone would want this.
