Naah... Building megastructures in space is a piece of cake. Literally. We would be in microgravity, correct? Hence, while building the structure, we would just have to ensure that every unit area of the surface of this cylinder can resist a centrifugal force of 1G. This is akin to building a very large single story building.

The hurdle here is getting the raw material for building this. We would need lunar mines for this to be possible at least in the Terran/Lunar orbit. Now, establishing mines on the moon would be complicated initially. However, once we do that, the universe is ours, literally.

Any institution that requires its members to have "faith" in a given set of entities is always dangerous for a free, civilized world. Religions by definition fall into this set of institutions. The cure for this is making high quality education extremely accessible to everyone around the world. Educational universities are soft power, where qualities like freedom, liberty, democracy etc. can be entrenched in people. Not doing this = allowing dangerous faith based institutions to erode away at these values.

Yeah fair enough. It would just become something like a wiki if it was done this way. I dunno how comfortable I am with lemmy having posts like these...

I think repost bots would be really good for QnA communities whose answers are relevant even after a while. Examples of such communities in my sphere would be r/askscience, r/cscareerquestions, etc. That would increase lemmy's use quite a lot imo.

Sorry, I'm ignorant in this matter. Why exactly would you want to scrape websites aside from collecting data for ML? What kind of irreplaceable API are you using? Someone please educate me here.

Okay, now we know this is bs. However, the neat part is that if we humans ever really start living in space, then such centrifugal force induced gravity habitats would be the most likely way we would live. Living on/in a celestial body like they show in scifi is the least likely scenario.

Uhuh.... The BBC recently released a documentary about this very shady past (specifically about the Gujarat riots, where he was accused of ethnic cleansing against Muslims). Guess what.... This documentary was immediately banned country wide by the Indian government and designated as "foreign propaganda".

Well sure... The reason why I don't use dairy milk is because:

  1. lactose intolerance
  2. plant based milk is much better for the environment
  3. DIY plant based milk is cheap af
  4. Ethical concerns with the animal husbandry industry

Yes I did. I loved it quite a lot actually! It weirdly had an absolutely wonderful fragrance to it.

Ads are annoying and can be privacy intrusive depending upon the ad network. However, do u have a better funding model in mind to keep these open sourced alternatives up and running?

Donation based models don't rlly work that well. Restricting stuff behind a paywall is an option, but ethically a little icky one. Ads are the best in these cases, right?
