lmfao if AMOC collapses in 2024-2025. Europe should get cold as hell if that happened, so a bunch of people online would get really smug about global WARMING all while their biosphere falls apart. Posting while Rome burns!

I mean is it really so unreasonable that we all could just have the day/month wrong? Maybe we all forgot about what happened in January/February/March and it's just a toasty April right now

the global warming conspiracy forced “leap days” and “daylight savings”on us to convince us the weather is changing.

there is no such thing as a leap day! we dont need to save daylight! wake up people!

Yeah. My understanding is that it's global warming, as in oceans + land, but my land based intellect forgets about that part. And the bit where oceans are like 70% of Earth's surface area. And how oceans don't heat as quickly as land.

Basically lol, lmao 2c means like 3-4c on land from what I understand, and that means like +5-7f. From what I understand as a random Internet dude

Ok, so hear me out on this policy policy proposal:

As we know most plastic recycling is not a real thing, but there's a notable exception: That's HDPE. It's the stuff milk jugs and shampoo bottles are made of.

It can be easily melted down and reformed a whole bunch of times unlike most other plastics. The catch is that it can't be crystal clear like most consumers expect from a modern drink bottle. Also, when you recycle it, it's kinda hard to remove any dyes. So it's not super widely recycled but rather down cycled.

However, what if a country mandated that all plastic packaging has to be strictly HDPE of a certain set of colors. Those colors would be the palate that every brand has to work with. Perhaps just black, white and a bunch of big bright bold colors. Don't like em? Feel free to put on a lable with water soluble glue or use something that's not plastic.

This means that the grocery store shelves would have the aesthetic of a kindergarten, but those colors would be far easier to separate in some sort of automated way than by material and it would be possible to at least reduce the environment impact of a small portion of food packaging.

Anyways, I'll have a Beyond burger with fries and a root beer, paper straw please.

It would be rad because every so many years they could introduce a new set of colors. Hire it out to pantone if you want make it some kinda public private partnership so the usual suspects can still get their dick wet.

But noooo, we got Elon musk over here sucking up all of the air in the room so that he can manifest his vision of sitting in traffic in a f-117 while never being not online and everyone else is fantasizing about getting into the ground floor of whatever the next bored ape.

Every actual solution to any actual problem would, necessarily, empower the working class. That's it, that's the whole reason: class war.

it was 60 degrees today and like 50 for the rest of the week so the landlord took the opportunity to dig a giant hole right outside my window to access the sewer line or something

the pipe is now exposed with an orange fence around it, hopefully nothing bad happens when it goes back to 25 degrees next week

Cool

I came in here to make a similar rain-on-your-parade post but this did it beautifully.

Got an excited text from my father talking about ITER, so I've had the wonderful opportunity of resetting expectations because our profit-driven media in a world where only addictive things get the public's attention is wonderful, just wonderful for accurate science reporting :newlol:

simple: capitalism

because yes it'd be absolutely trivial to mandate standardized clear glass bottles with no adhesive labels and metal caps, and then weekly re-collection and re-use them with autoclaves. it'd be trivial to require a standardized degradable food containers and no coatings, or giant plastic packaging. it'd be trivial to mandate crop rotation instead of just dumping more fertilizer. it'd be trivial to abolish designed-obsolescence where all new fridges or microwaves die exactly 3 months past warranty and immediately chucked into a landfill for a new $99 microwave off amazon.

but that interferes with capitalism. we're going to consume every last bit of resources we can because we have to
