Once our little fossil-fueled civilizational experiment comes to a halt, most of us will be, like it or not.

"The cement industry is one of the two largest producers of carbon dioxide (CO2), creating up to 5% of worldwide man-made emissions of this gas, of which 50% is from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel."

Another one who is blissfully unaware of how the world got to be the way it is.

Look, I'm done. There is no way to bridge the gap of understanding between us. Educate yourself. Please.

Stick to physics, chemistry, facts, and history. And keep the references to hard ons to zero.

Then get back to us.

LOL. You can NOT be serious.

How will you FEED all these people?

" and the widespread use of chemical fertilizers"

You can NOT sustain our present human population with sunshine and puppies. Vaccines or not.

You seriously misunderstand just about everything.

Try this

"which plant has the most anuses"

AI Overview
The plant with the most "anuses" (or rather, the most posterior ends with a functional digestive system) is the marine worm Ramisyllis multicaudata. This worm, found in sponges off the coast of Australia, has a single head but can have hundreds of branching bodies, each ending in a separate posterior end with a functional anus.

While plants don't have anuses in the traditional sense, R. multicaudata is notable for its multiple, branching posterior ends, each with its own anus. This is highly unusual for an animal, as most animals have a single posterior end. The worm's body branches repeatedly, and with each branch, the digestive system, along with other organs, is duplicated, resulting in multiple posterior ends.

I giggled like a simpleton at "resulting in hundreds of anuses". Guess what I asked here

The question is a bit misleading, as most mammals have only one scrotum. However, when discussing the animal with the largest testicles relative to its body size, the tuberous bush cricket (Platycleis affinis) stands out. Their testes can account for up to 14% of their body weight, according to BBC Earth Explore.

Yes, please describe how that solar panel came into being. Try it without the fossil fuel foundation of every single item we use. Everything from the rubber tires of the delivery trucks to the food the workers eat.

You are blind to what's around you. If you think we're going to support 8 billion people living a Western lifestyle without fossil fuels, I'm afraid it's not me who isn't bright.

How do you support our present industrial civilization with windmills and watermills? We already had these, why did we give them up?

You're completely oblivious.

"better, more advanced ways of generating power."

But we don't. We don't "generate" power. We harvest energy. And once our little geological energy reserve is drawn down, how do you plan on keeping our present arrangements going?

You haven't explained how you plan to make fertilizers, concrete, plastics, with electricity? And you don't simply "light oil on fire"... Where did the iron come from to make engines? Coal, oh yeah.

You also think we'll just spin copper wire and rare earth magnets from sunshine...

Please go back to AI vibe coding.

Oh I am greatly entertained by asking various AIs "which animal has the most anuses" etc

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 6 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

It has a penis longer than its entire body. Before I get eaten by a bird, I want to parade that thing around.

I'd be a thistle tortoise beetle.

"Lane"? Do you have any idea how many green spaces and trees are being destroyed to build WEF "densified" condos everywhere?

How would I know? Are they trying to quit smoking?

 

I saw it when it came out and only remember that I thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

 

A good find this afternoon I think. 10$ for these two, and Strangelove is in a metal jewel case thingy. Pretty good.

 

Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

 

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

 

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

 

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

 

A real horroshow Bluray

 

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

 

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

 

Not sure if this falls into "thrifting". This store used to have pleasant deals on materials but I'd say in the last few years they went nuts with the prices.

The only deal I ever got there was an IKEA filing cabinet on wheels in new condition for like 20$. The kind of IKEA stuff that had heft to it, not the newer stuff.

No wonder they closed, charging twice the price of new for donated items. Far worse than Renaissance or VV.

 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur
