Yeah sure, they’ll probably also have typed all posts on Lemmy, including those that have not been posted yet.

What if the monkeys evolve to higher intelligence as time passes by?

No way that government will have a majority to make this happen anytime soon. Interesting idea though.

The number of subscriptions has gone down by 10% already. That’s what happens when billionaires interfere with media, apparently.

Puffballs not to be mistaken for earthballs, which are poisonous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scleroderma_citrinum

It’s just the creation of particles with an ultra-short lifespan, which then decay into other particles. Only there are more of this type than expected, but still within the tolerance of what the theory predicts. Additional tests are needed to say anything conclusive. That’s just what they normally like to do at CERN, they’re quite good at it. They also started the world wide web, back in the day.

Additional comment against nuclear: water cooling, which is a real problem in a warming climate. Rivers will dry up or flood. And near the coast with rising sea levels is also difficult, using salt water. Besides, there are plenty of sustainable alternatives with a cheaper price tag, so why bother?

Nah, even the wikipage shows double the price compared to solar or wind. Which isn’t surprising when you look at the basic technology of each energy type. And they all have to deal with a lot of bureaucracy.

Seems that Austria is just as racist as France, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, England or the USA. I probably missed a few along the way.

I thought racism had a lot more to do with it. Plus the way that American votes are counted.

Nuclear energy is the most expensive type of energy, you could have way more wind and solar energy (stored in batteries or hydrogen) for the same investment. And without waste that keeps radiating for the next millenia.

You are the utter cunt here yourself, with your short-sighted opinion. Can’t you see the parallel in polluting something of value? Like is being done to our planet? And those people’s grandchildren will be even more annoyed when they have hardly any food left, with weather catastrophies ruining their existence. OK, that was a bit harsh, but you catch my drift.

Still puzzles me why everybody’s still shopping at Amazon.

What I didn’t see in the reactions yet is that a lot of Americans do not want any government involvement at all. Save for things that are supposedly written down in the Bible. The Republican party is providing just that, anti-establishment, anti-intellectual and don’t forget: anti-minority. Just people being tough and dare to support the party who will turn the clock back to when times were perceived to be better. Same sentiment is present in Europe by the way, like it was a century ago.

The solutions are there, but nobody will risk loss of power or popularity. But no worries, nature will strike back harder and harder.

Biggest thing against nuclear power is the cost associated with it. Other, sustainable sources of energy like wind and solar, combined with hydrogen and batteries, are way cheaper due to their simplicity. Thorium reactors are a nice idea but need so much development (costs) that they will take a while to become a reality, if ever at all. Probably nuclear fusion will be available sooner than thorium fission for power generation, which also needs decades of development. And then there’s still the problem of nuclear waste. Maybe not a huge problem, but still one without a viable solution.

That’s no way to behave as a guest.

Just go eat plant-based all together, so we won’t have these problems that endanger the existence of life on our planet. Including humans.

Too bad you only care about how they taste, not about how they’re treated, killed, warm up the atmosphere and cause a loss in biodiversity.

Can’t imagine that extraterrestrial aliens would be more weird than what is population our oceans.
