I just bought about 870 cars but I feel horrible about my carbon footprint. I really wish there was something that could be done to ease my guilt about my approximately 870 cars.

I don't recall the first time I had home popped popcorn that didn't come in individually portioned bags. In fact, I'm pretty sure I first attempted popping loose kernels in a pot only like 7 or 8 years ago. Look up a recipe for fire corn if you want to be popcorn obsessed for a bit.

I'm just bringing it up because those things were loving coated with PFAS and we were basically gobbling up the packaging

My family reused the same disposable plastic water bottles for like fifteen years for taking water to bed and stuff. There is absolute no way my brother and I weren't impacted.

I've always been a salt fiend. A friend in elementary school gave me a piece of rock salt he collected from outside kmart. I sat there and licked that thing during an assembly.

The process of crafting regulations could take years and the conservative-leaning Supreme Court could overrule them or a future president could simply roll them back. And relying on states to amp up their clean energy laws just shifts the fight to statehouses for environmentalists and fossil fuel interests to battle it out on the local level. Now we're just waiting on the epa and the states to do something I guess?

mawarannahr posted:they probably don’t even do the a/b tests, or if they did they are guaranteed to have done them wrong. I don’t think anyone really does any good research at all in this area . Another p-hacker gets bitten in the nads.  I remember when principle component analysis was a visualization tool during data cleanup, not the final step before publishing a paper. gently caress, I'm old.  If you want an interesting view on how sophisticated the manufactured food industry is I'd suggest Dr. Robert Lustig and his book "The Hacking the American Mind". Dr. Lustig is a pediatric endocrinologist who got interested in the obesity question, fell down the rabbit hole looking at mechanisms, then took a year off to get a masters in law because he knew they'd be coming for him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKkUtrL6B18 I think he was the one who talked about industry researchers sticking people in medical imaging devices and watching their brains while eating manufactured food. Given the money I don't doubt there's some highly sophisticated research behind this crap even if all it finally just comes down to "add more sugar and fat". Never underestimate predatory capitalism. sitchensis posted:“the future is female!” Just need to release a bunch of sterile males into the population and the problems are solved. Wait, what was that about sperm counts?

I know deniers will never have an "I was wrong" moment but I wonder if climate scientists and educators who pushed the line that "the best thing you can do is vote at the ballot and with your wallet" will ever have that feeling. Like, at a certain point the reassuring self delusion that we can all come together and do the right thing will have to give way to full crack ping, right? When we'll see more and more scientists openly declaring that the end is nigh and its too late to do anything about it.

(the warning sign even for the politically naive was when Biden directly lied about climate science and falsely claimed that 0 scientists supported the GND)

don’t worry about brain imaging, that shits also not understood well enough and a ton of the research is bs. they make dead salmon brain light up too if you do the statistics wrong, and it can be a challenge to do the statistics right even if you want to due to limitations in tech and resources. if you look at journals of consumer psychology and market research etc they’re filled with stupid designs and garbage results. capitalist has a hard time doing science because the way everything is structured in neoliberalism and the academic/professional world rewards doing bad work and punishes good work.

yeah, there's a 100% chance that some snack food manufacturers have tried sticking people into a magnet to make pretty pictures of their brains while they were eating and a 0% chance they learned anything actually useful from the experience

WorldsStongestNerd posted:Also the biggest predictor of whether your kids will have autism is how close you live to a highway. While the noise pollution and gas fumes are being studied, the effects of inhaling powdered tires is unknown. I mentioned this to my mom and she laughed, thinking I was joking. I lived my first years in a house on the Trans-Canada Highway, and I have autism. It's possible that endocrine disruptors are correlated with having more 2SLGBT people - we know that twins are more likely to be gay or trans, and it's suspected to have something to do with hormones. It doesn't change anything about the rights that they deserve to have.

WorldsStongestNerd posted:If we're still on the plastics and obesity discussion, someone mentioned portion sizes going up. But why? Why did we suddenly want larger portions? Endocrine disruption of the signals that tell you you're full is one possibility. does this use a DOT definition of highway? because if we include secondary highways, which are pretty much all roads maintained by the state, then a lot of people live less than a mile away from a highway.
