They are suspected to be behind our ever increasing infertility, which may be a blessing in disguise and not just in humans but also insects, birds, plants, etc. some of the 80-95% drop in insect mass is probably due in part, though probably not as much as industrial pollutant, land-use changes, and climate-human fuckery.

Plastic balls will save us all yet. They will also stop the hypercane. Can I get a 30 day probe? This thread is great, the content addictive and the posters genuinely funny. But I'm spending too much time here. Thank you, please. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's a pleasant 70°f with a cool breeze off the water. Coasting past the quarter mile of cars stopped at a light and then cruising through the intersection right as the light changed was fun too

toggle posted:and i assume every country will eventually go the same way? No country will be alike, some may fare better as they slowly crumble, others may implode violently if there’s no functioning government or supply chain. Haiti has all of that as well as famine going on. Gangs are fighting in the power vacuum and regular people are fed up and lynching them in the streets. We can look at Haiti as an example of sudden collapse, but it could be a lot worse if grid goes down. Absolute chaos

biceps crimes posted:but what if we dropped a bunch of tires and cinder blocks in the area after we mine it? I don't know about cinder blocks, but we tried tires and it worked about as well as you think it would https://www.projectbaselinegulfstream.com/the-osborne-tire-reef/ Doing an experiment on undersea mining was a good idea, but the results are in and it was an absolute disaster. My understanding is the potato sized nodules are a good source of the metals and minerals that are needed for batteries, but only the top few inches of the ocean floor are useful. In order to mine an amount that would matter it would mean disturbing an absolute massive area, and marine life is destroyed not only in the immediate mined area but also a significant distance away.

96 degrees today, heat index of 110, and I've been outside working in it all loving day. It's 10 at night here right now. Heat index is 96. We historically do sometimes get this kind of heat here. But normally in August and never for weeks at a time. Productivity plummets. Can only go for about an hour before I need to sit down.

Honky Mao posted:Guarantee you it's not going any higher than that. It can't. This is true. We are going into peak North Atlantic hurricane season. Season starts June 1 but doesn't really get going until August. These water temps will supercharge storms after they form. Between the conversation of heat energy into kinetic energy and the upwelling of cold deep water, it will significantly cool the surface. See, the problem will take care of itself.
