because environmentalists are dumbasses that propose completely eliminating something instead of a realistic plan to ensure ecological survivability that still allows consumers habits to stay similar

well about 60% of the environmentalist movement is people who haven't changed opinions or accepted scientific findings since the late 60s/early 70s, and the other 40% has to fight back against both the other environmentalists and the polluters to protect the environment.

a marine was in a college class taught by a liberal gay demon professor. one day the professor said “if god is real, he will suck my dick” after ten minutes of silence the tough marine got up from his seat and sucked the liberal aclu professor’s dick. the professor came. “what did you do that for?” the marine answered “god was busy building ford trucks shirtless so he sent me to suck dick”

its funny because someone in the comments said "be sure to add 10% ethanol" and im like you may as well add 100% since you won't be getting any energy from youtr "gasoline"

uh, yeah you will, i mean that is a legit process which actually does work, you get real car-compatible gasoline with possibly a bit more knocking in older engines. it's just extremely stupid to actually do on a home scale.

it only really becomes worth it when you do it at factory scales.

oh i always thought gasoline was distilled from petroleum, not randome household garbage and limes

petroleum is just the easiest thing to make gas out of, since you can just distill it, because with it you're mostly just separating out the hydrocarbons used for gasoline from the other ones in the crude (and you use some of the others for boat motor oil, and others for lubrication, etc).

you can however make the same hydrocarbons from most plant matter, and some animal matter, by using the Fischer–Tropsch process (as that page tells you have to do) or others. normally the only reason you would do this is due to things like, it's world war ii, you're nazi germany, and you need gasoline for your dumb war. you can also make it out of coal and even natural gas with that same process. so instead of distilling the already existing hydrocarbons you want, you're creating them anew from your different input materials, and then distilling them from what you've just produced

have they finally gotten around to being able to sell led bulbs in normal stores? i went looking for them a while back, and nobody had them and also they were super-expensive

in the us they've been widely available since like 2010 in anywhere you'd buy bulbs. and since like 2013 they've been like slightly more expensive than cfls but last 30 freakin years or whatever

they exist because the fixture has some weird requirements or limitations, so they keep you from loving up with a normal bulb that could wreck it

probably coal plants that don't put out more pollution than literally any other form of power generation

it's probably fine for home use though

home use of coal is why london had poisonous smog events that killed thousands into the 60s, and why china has them today

yeah that's way wrong. mass has a way way higher gun murder rate and also NH and Vermont are the lowest in the entire country. Maine had 22 murders in the entire state last year and like 5 of them were gun related. all of which were done by relations of the victims

there are way more gun deaths then just straight up murders. its right on the chart.
