Fun fact the first (automotive) ambulances were, in fact, hearses. It was a way for funeral homes to make extra money when they were the only car in town designed to carry an adult who was lying down.

Ironically and counter-intuitively adding more crematoriums or emergency services makes the problem worse. Never figured out how to get traffic down to a sane level.

Pretty cool poo poo, but I do want to know what the deal with the booster is and why it generates such a red light.

So as the recent posts have shown, the wildfires are started on purpose as a battle against nature. Saving these for responding to "nature is beautiful" social posts.

They ended up importing lots of species of dung beetle to fill the ecological niche created by tje large number of non native mammals (cow excrement being sufficiently different to marsupial excrement) ive not heard of this before but knowing how well all our other forays with importing foreign species went i assume the answer is tragedy

(At least, not in the way we're familiar with - it dehydrates and such, but it doesn't rot). It decomposes because it's being eaten by insects and fungi and bacteria and so forth.

If you want to hear something crazy, read about the Carboniferous. Three hundred and forty million years ago, plants evolved the ability to make the structural protein lignin. Fungus that could digest lignin evolved three hundred million years ago. For forty million years, dead wood piled up and ended either buried, producing the vast coal deposits seen today, or burnt. Wood burnt really well back then, with atmospheric oxygen at double its present concentration—which is no coincidence. Plants were polluting the atmosphere with oxygen in direct proportion to the wood they produced.

It decomposes because it's being eaten by insects and fungi and bacteria and so forth. Yeah but the grass not eaten by cows obviously decomposed, so I figured that the cow digestive tract must somehow gently caress that process up. The wiki article Pablo linked actually explains it p well so nevermind me.

How bad would 3-10 Millimeters of volcanic ash gently caress up everything? I know volcanic ash isn’t like wood or charcoal ash and is way way more destructive , but I need sort of a reference point

Some crops are going to be totally destroyed, others are going to benefit. For the humans that live on this planet, it jacks up, oh, pretty much everything. Internal combustion engines, turbines, most anything with mechanical movement, water & sewage treatment, lungs, the whole 9 yards.
