I’m all for healthcare “rationing”, that is cost-effectiveness analysis for both public and insurance-funded healthcare and setting a cap that will exclude even some evidence-based interventions.

Buffa and other comic opera. More dumb plots, less experimental music!

In a similar vein, fund a few events for local groups for the less well-to-do to go see a local band. Just get the money in circulation in a way that keeps it local, and does some good (for myself or others) without consuming too many natural respurces.

Agreed, that wasn’t my implication. I just didn’t know which to leave out. 😅 I like to think the less age-appropriate/more amusing aspect must be coming across a random middle-aged person that asks, wide-eyed and hesitant, “could I pet them?” while you’re just out for a walk. But it’s not like wouldn’t get my grubby hands on the doggo as soon as given permission, that’s the goal.

Asking strangers for permission to pet their dogs.

Petting strangers’ dogs.

I like it. I visit classical concerts more than pop ones, but there it definitely isn’t automatic, but a light-hearted “artist’s choice” response to a genuinely enthusiastic crowd after the approx. 3rd round of applause. Not a given. My favourite is still when the soloist did a jazz encore and the audience swapped from “no applause even between movements” classical mode to “applaud good solos” jazz mode.

How is “average lemmy user” defined? I probably know more about eg. tea than the typical/median user. But there may be a true tea expert here that pushes the average up by a lot.

Cool, but admit it, you shared it (and I read it) because of that title that someone had way too much fun writing.

People knowing when they die at the latest will probably mean more than it being 50. At some point after abt 45 life becomes either (finances allowing) a hedonistic spree, gracefully putting your affairs in order, and/or an anxious nightmare watching the hours tick by. Not sure if people will come together enough to demand a kind of pension to allow for a year or two of calm for that, but anyone that can, will take ot anyway.

People will focus on their health a little less when there’s no time for many lifestyle-related illnesses to manifest.

The speed of scientific development slows. People have less time to learn, experiment, and mentor the next generation.

Tomato Europe vs Potato Europe.

The Nordic model is a capitalist one.
