Are you willing to pay the price for the clean up? Most of the waste generate is behalf of your consumption.

Reply to comment by homeostasis3434 in A study on obese patients suggests the gut microbiome affects obesity levels. Microbial diversity decreased in obese subjects, and the reduction trend was correlated with the severity of obesity. by glawgii

Study find people with obesity have excess fat. I guess excess fat causes obesity. Blame the excess fat. I can’t help my obesity problem because this excess fat is preventing me from not being obese. If it wasn’t for the excess fat then people wouldn’t be obese…

Apple needs China not for cheap labor but for the manufacturing infrastructure and scale. No many places can repurpose entire manufacturing line in under a year to pump out hundreds of millions of devices. Only other places can match manufacturing infrastructure is South Korea and some SEA countries, but they don’t have the scale to handle Apples volume needs.

YouTube reel is basically YouTube's answer to TikTok. Unfortunately it is a case of if you can't beat them then join them (i.e. it is toxic, addictive and no real utility).

Man, we just need some brutal resource conquering aliens to come kick our ass a bit for humanity to realize "human rights" are just social construct that aren't free to maintain and that humanity to needs to be united (climate change is too abstract for average monkey brained human to bond over, which is why we need aliens).
