Or probably your slave labor in the private prison system.

Correct. there was actually a period of time when trees had no predators or scavengers that could break down their body matter. They actually likely caused mass extinction events during that time.

Sources: Hank Green talking about it (just a fun video, I wouldn’t take it as gospel necessarily)

IFL Science article (I cross-referenced this with multiple other articles and it seems to talk about a cempletely different mechanism for mass extinction to occur)

I agree for the most part. I would like to point out that fish farms are actually very damaging to the ecosystems that they sit in. The excrement ends up dropping down in single locations, burying the seafloor in it. IIRC, this often leads to the oxygen levels in the water dropping, which further kills off the surrounding aquatic life.

EDIT: more context

We don’t need a blockchain for that.

Having multiple servers which store file checksums would have much less overhead, would be easily repeatable and appendable, with no need for unnecessary computational labor. Linux mint currently uses the checksum process for verifying that an ISO downloaded is not altered in any way, and it can work for any file (preferably not humongous files).

Strive for K.I.S.S. whenever possible.

Pretty bold to think Cthulhu even notices us, let alone gives a shit that he drives us to madness

I don’t think many would accept their gardens being pilfered either, though they might be more accepting if that’s how they paid rent.

TY, my B.

Not the implication. Mosquitoes are a blight upon humanity too.

Edit: Woops, wrong thing. Mosquitoes are the carriers, the bacteria/viruses are causing the blights, the diseases are the actual blights. I think you get what I mean.

I don’t think manipulating an addition problem so you can equate it to a multiplication problem would be a normal action.

They are probably just using ADHD (not even a diagnoses anymore IIRC - it’s all ADD now) as a shorthand for ‘funky brain thing goin on’. Not exactly good, but I don’t really think it does any meaningful harm either.

Edit: had it the other way around. It’s all ADHD now, not ADD. Thankyou for the correction @JackbyDev .

Mental abacus. You visualize the beads to come to the answer.

Definitely not ‘natural’, that shit takes major training.

For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.

It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.

Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it’s not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It’s mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.

Level measuring guy from water world moment.

You’re correct, we do. We all assist the operation of this war machine. It may not be in our control, but that does not nullify it. We bloody our hands to live instead of choosing to die, and we are all culpable to an extent for it. Some more than others, though.

People in all societies have to ignore a multitude of moral contradictions in order to live normal lives. That is the manufactured consent all states impose upon their people.

Reminds me of shotgun roulette

There is a certain case I advocate bear hunting: bears that gain a proclivity for human environments or for humans as prey. It’s rare, though, and can (and should) be handled by wildlife management personnel whenever reasonable.

Would this not disqualify any mixed color? We only have receptors for three colors, and if we’re arguing that purple isn’t a color because it’s actually two mixed together, that should also mean colors like orange, yellow, cyan, magenta, atc are also not colors by that definition right?

404 not found lmao

This situation can be avoided by buying your anti-diarrheals before you need them during a regular shopping day. They are very useful for hiking, and they should be in your arsenal already.
