Did you know the potassium sorbate used in making American bread is banned throughout the whole of the EU? It's also banned in Canada, Argentina, and Brazil! Studies have shown potassium sorbate to be toxic to DNA and to weaken the immune system. Enjoy your lunch sandwich, Americans! Aspartame owns so it better not be on there

robot roll call posted:do NOT dig here. if the poo poo is missing out of the building immediately start digging here. no one today even knows what a berm is so good luck with that one also It owns that they came up with this entire discipline and started this project and this was the best they could do and then they gave up. To this day people have already forgotten that the whole "nothing valued is here" spiel was supposed to be a description of the feelings the environment/warnings created to protect the radioactive dump were intended to evoke and not a literal written message to the future. It hasn't even been a century. What a complete and utter failure. It honestly depresses me sometimes how half-assed and pointless this effort was. Nuclear semiotics should have been one of contemporary humankind's greatest contributions to future civilizations. A mixture of science, art, reverse archeology, and psychology intended to last hundreds of thousands of years undiluted. Our opportunity to create the inscrutable alien ruins we've spent hundreds of years imagining in books and movies. Instead it's a lovely internet joke about "ray cats" that couldn't be further from a believable solution, which we put barely any effort into, that absolutely no one will remember in a few hundred years. At least some of the landscape proposals were kind of cool. I would stay away from this area if I found it.

Just had an CRT taken and the nurse handed me a radiation cup for my balls "since I still was so young" (I'll turn 52 in March), and I said "I am not planning on bringing kids into this hellworld, you can fry the boys for all I care" and we had a good laugh. Still made me wear the cup though.

if all these common products / byproducts being pumped into the environment were actually sterilizing us you'd think condom manufacturers and vasectomy doctors would be up in arms over the whole situation

In the meantime nobody in America can afford to go to the doctor to see if they are sterilized anyway so it just makes the condoms look more effective.

Cup Runneth Over posted:It owns that they came up with this entire discipline and started this project and this was the best they could do and then they gave up. one of my favorite ways that capitalism is strangling us is with the discount rate. "money now is better than money later" means that eventually "$1 now is better than $1 trillion far enough later" so because of the discount rate the far future must be valued at $0 eventually. so it is "more cost effective" to cause $100,000,000,000.00 in harms later if we get $5 now, because the discount rate means that *actually* the $5 now is worth more! so why build fancy semiotics to stop future harm when economics says actually it will cause *more harm* to spend the money on it now. each dollar spent now is a billion dollars we can't spend in a century!

Is it everything... it's everything isn't it. if arsenic trioxide is a marketable commodity with annual production of 50,000 tons why don’t they mine their own tailings to sell it off even at a loss? the permanently freeze it for eternity strategy seems like an immediate nonstarter that leaves the risk in place?

i admit we're privileged but i mostly stopped eating meat that i can't source locally, especially wrt to chicken and eggs with a guarantee that the latter are small flocks given pasture when it's not snowing. i'd rather eat fewer eggs than buy industrial eggs, it's awful. i should work harder to do the same about cheese but i admit to being a weak man there
