Following the Digg algorithm story and the Amazon no-checkout mechanical Turk operation, the TikTok algo is just people, right? Some religious minority just clicking away in a “reeducation camp” somewhere boosting tradwifes ruining kitchen counters.

Probably, but I think more importantly being able to look at the algo will show just how much control the Chinese government has over it

that's this, for one person.

Plus the energy cost to either distill or pump out the water, filter it, add chlorine and other additives, pump it to your place, then heat it up. The last part alone is 5KWh per 10 minute shower, or 35KWh a week. In 2021 Sierra Leone had a yearly per capita use of 12KWh.

Yeah I love it when the state censors a way of expressing anti-genocide beliefs that also contains a massive amount of young people making culture.

For you shower-loving olds, this is like if Bush shut down Tumblr for having too many gay furries.

E: also I still find it obnoxious that people assume the only reason I can have the opinions I do being a bit when they're actually held beliefs. The extremity of a point is not correlated with it's correctness, the philosophical golden mean is for cowards.

gently caress scalpers, but he's right (for the wrong reasons). MTG has been suffering from massive oversaturation of constant new set releases and a confusing array of types of packs and a dozen different versions of every new card. Hasbro took the one division actually turning a profit and decided to burn things to the ground with their established fanbase trying to squeeze out a short-term spike to offset other failures.

On the plus side it keeps the drain clogged so plenty of opportunity for water reuse.

the amount of additional water consumed in a 15 minute shower over a 5 minute shower (or, to put it another way, having a 5 minute shower every day vs twice a week) is about enough to grow five almonds.

five individual almonds.

furthermore, the entire almond market in california (which is most of the world's almonds) is owned by a single billionaire "farmer" family. right now, almonds are irrigated with open trenches, so over 50% of the water that is supplied to the groves simply evaporates. the new laws would require that the trenches be covered with plastic sheets so that this doesn't happen. the billionaire has lobbied insanely hard -- and succeeded -- against these laws, astroturfing it as an unreasonable hardship for the poor little american farmer. so the water just continues to be sucked out of mono lake and the kern county water bank and evaporated into space. because a 90 year old billionaire doesn't want to cut into his profits by buying plastic sheeting.

almonds aren't even necessary. nobody dies because they didn't reach their daily almond intake. many of them are just ground up into almond milk for privileged vegans who are too weak to drink black coffee.

you are doing literally nothing to help with planetary water conservation by becoming a greasy dirtball, tokin. you can choose not to shower if you prefer it that way, but don't delude yourself.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.

One is going to have to get used to experiencing an AI voice, going forward, but this is a particular AI voice I associate so strongly with the absolute worst garbage, that just hearing it makes me so immediately angry. When I hear that AI voice, I know I'm in for a full minute of absolutely useless, unfunny, unoriginal and slightly uncomfortable content watched by 300 million people. It's like one step above that other AI voice that kind of sounds like a cartoon woman.

If you have long hair you should be washing it less.

I had hair down to my butt in school and washed it every day. The overwashing made it get greasier and people would tell me I looked like I never washed my hair.
