Too much detail. Needs more jpg

People can still barely figure hands out lol

A documentary about the Blue Man Group home planet.

I thought it was just blue Pocahontas

Have you tried more thoughts and prayers?

Honestly, there are many reasons… Poverty is a huge factor. Highly processed foods are usually the cheapest and most convenient option. And sometimes a soda can be cheaper to purchase than water. Also, school budgets are usually funded by property taxes, so areas in poverty have significantly degraded educational programs and facilities.

The poor education levels mean that people rarely learn about the impacts of high sugar diets on the body. People will feed their child a high sugar diet starting as early as a 2 years old. I’ve seen a document where a woman was feeding their toddler Mt dew out of a baby bottle…

Advertising techniques play a big role here too. Foods labeled as nutritious are actually just pumped full of sugar. Foods like yogurt, “bread”, granola bars, cereals, or anything with a sauce in it.

On top of all that, Americans have an extremely sedentary lifestyle. From sitting in cubicles to sitting in cars, then finally to the couch. The most walking people do is from the parking lot to the store/building they are going to.

Military industrial complex goes brrrrr

Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

Imagine hiking/camping somewhere nearby, immersing yourself in nature, when a fucking military jet falls out of the sky and crashes near you…

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

At least they’re working on the wall part lol

I’m hoping to be fully self-hosted by then.

For now… Do you really think they’re immune to enshitification if they become more popular?

Seriously… Covid was an eye opener me as well.

It was so much quieter outside. The air was cleaner. Animals were returning to previously deserted areas at remarkable rates.

Everyone was itching to get back to “normal,” but normal was what was causing all of the destruction on the first place.

The government should literally be paying people to stay home and do nothing. I remember reading somewhere that it is more cost effective in the long run. Rather than fixing damage and rebuilding cities after increasingly severe natural disasters.

Does that make Excel the operating system? Or is it the firmware/BIOS

If the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal.

Fuel usage alone… Not too mention the high electricity use for AC and other equipment.

In 2017, the US military bought about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted more than 25,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide by burning those fuels. The US Air Force purchased $4.9 billion worth of fuel, and the Navy $2.8 billion, followed by the Army at $947 million and the Marines at $36 million.

It seems to be growing every year… What would it honestly take to get enough people to take action against the military industrial complex? Is there even a way?

That’s probably cause the userbase was flooded with bots to make up the difference

Hydroponics, when combined with indoor, vertical farming, is the reason that the Netherlands are one of Europe largest exporters of food. Even though they’re one of the countries with the least amount of farmland.

Copper wires are expensive. And you need to house those wires in aluminum pipes. That’s a lot of metal that you no longer need to buy. Especially considering how many light switches in our homes.

Add in the fact that donations can also be funneled into political campaign funds… And you get one America.
