That seems quite fast.
How long have plastics been around? A century? Less?
When lignin in wood first evolved and trees became a thing 400 million years ago, it took about 100 million years before fungi evolved the ability to digest it.
There was 100 million years where wood wasn’t unable to decompose and just sat around or burned, creating all of our coal deposits.
100 years for something to evolve and decompose plastics seems lightning quick.
What if you have no social media?
I deleted it all over five years ago, Reddit almost 3 years ago.
Other than Lemmy that is. That’s all I got if that counts as social media.
I feel like they wouldn’t believe me though and deny me. How do you prove you don’t have something?
I’m only on discord to follow one singular fanfic community
If they pull this I’ll be deleting the app immediately after.
But you could still save a copy of yourself each morning and then if you die, recreate your last save point, no? Then you only lose a day.
Maybe a yearly save point too incase theres any long term thing you don’t catch fast enough like cancer…
The good place?
Well, Microsoft doesn’t care if you use it, only if the business buys the license.
Even if you could travel at Lightspeed, it would still take forever to get most places.
You can travel for 8+ billion years at light speed and still not hit the end.
I just switched the other day after Microsoft emailed me reminding me that my subscription ends in a month.
Then I cancelled right away and got $15 back.
After they offered me “AI free office” for like $40 less which I didn’t even want in the first place.
Maybe if licensing costs weren’t ridiculous I wouldn’t mind.
$15/m/user is ridiculous. Charge me like $100 a year for the license and then like $1/m/user on top. It literally doesn’t matter much how many users there are for many programs, no extra resources for the company. And if it does use resources it’s usually not $15/m worth.
Not out of pure charity, the rootless tree now provides the other trees roots with sugars and energy in exchange.
Put a pride flag somewhere and then litter the ground with thumbtacks 😏
I hate Reddit, and I hate discord.
I am using discord for a discussion thread of one thing which follows a serial webnovel and it’s infuriating because when something new happens there’s always a constant influx of people asking the same questions because there is no way to pin or highlight pertinent information and no one is going to go scrolling through a million messages searching for the first time the question was asked and answered.
Discussion threads! Not chat messages!
As long as it isn’t absorbative, so if you can find a tattoo sleeve made of nitrile or latex go ahead.
It’s pretty common knowledge for anyone who works with chemicals that the first thing you do when something spills on your clothes is to remove your clothing, otherwise it’s just keeping the chemicals in contact with your skin for it to prolong absorption.
Until the fabric absorbs the chemicals and is a constant source against your skin until removed
Oh yes, many counties have mosquito control programs, which is understandable because it’s to reduce the spread of diseases like West Nile virus, Eastern / western equine encephalitis, Zika etc.
But they still use pesticide that affects all insects indiscriminately in most areas via aircraft.
There are products that target only mosquitos, and it’s bacterial not chemical, but you need to apply it to the water while they are still larvae which is harder and more costly. The counties prefer to use the chemical by air because it’s easier and cheaper for the most part.
America should probably stop blanketing the skies via aircraft with millions of gallons of general pesticide (pyrethroids in most areas I believe) that affect pretty much all insects as part of their mosquito control efforts around communities.
Not sure why Google needs to sell chrome but Microsoft doesn’t need to sell edge. Noone controlling the device should also own the internet browser imo.
Probably so more people are forced to charge at Tesla stations and pump money to Musk.
Capitalism just hasn’t gone far enough.
Soon parks will have locked gates and an entry fee so they can monetize trees while they are still alive.
