I imagine those beside the ocean must have figured out what happens when boiling sea water. But I guess it was scaling it that was an issue?

Tons of English phrases and words have salty origins, like salary.

Tipping landlords makes the same amount of sense as tipping dentists or food servers: none.

I struggle to see Japan as a bastion of freedom lol. Fun place to visit for sure, but between the archaic drug laws and suicide forests I'm not sure they are a society others should be modeling themselves after.

Still wouldn't be a heart attack.

I was in a sauna at +95 Celsius for several minutes the other day. And within the same week I felt -35 Celsius cold on my bare skin.

Both could kill me provided a bit more exposure, but they don't instantly. Meanwhile, +4 Celsius can also cause death by hypothermia pretty easily in the right circumstances.

So, while I like the idea, I think implementation will be hard as there is no clear death number on either end of the spectrum. Not to mention humidity, clothing, exertion, level of hydration, etc...

The freezing point of water seems a hell of a lot more relevant to what humans consider 'cold'...which is why it's the zero. The boiling point of water isn't the zero in Celsius after all.

Also 'cold' as a concept is often represented with symbols related to frozen water such as snow flakes and icicles.

Do you have an alternative solution? And what would you propose as a reasonable population cap? 10 billion? 100 billion? 100 trillion?

Motors are also mechanical.

I'm pretty sure E-bikes are digitally controlled.

Acoustic is definitely funnier, but all definitions I can find about it relate to sound.

Acoustic bikes? I think analog may be more fitting here but honestly I'm not sure. I've just never heard acoustic referenced outside of sound.

'you up?'

Capitalism ruins itself.
