Right now I can think of the buddhist “tale of the bug”.

Two (human) friends died and were reborn. One in heaven, the other as a dung beetle (a type of bug) on a dung pile.

The guy in heaven tried to “help” his friend by going down to Earth and carrying his friend to the skies. But his friend refused, because the dung pile was now his home, and he didn’t want to leave at any cost. Only then the guy realized that it is not heaven that makes you happy, but finding the place that you’re destined for.

The cold, and the fact that I love my long trousers, they fit my tshirts so well.

Well tbf you could argue that having to earn money is forced labor, and therefore a form of slavery, as well. Just that you get to choose your (ab)user.

Here in Vienna there’s a very good one (ironically called Berlin Döner) that is 5€.

That is actually precisely what the “paradox of the cock” is saying.

A rooster crows every morning. They observe this and conclude that statistically, they can’t die. Which is bullshit, ofc.

are there absolute numbers? it would be interesting to know how big is the deviation.

good question. my bet is aluminum production would go up, because it’s frankly a nice material to work with, has excellent properties in many fields, and if electricity becomes cheap/clean, then there’s nothing stopping the aluminum world-domination.

I think it’s areas.

Actually, that’s a good thing, because if some extraordinary event happens, like a gigantic volcano eruption, we want to have food to spare.

I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.

yeah i know i was joking

maybe it wasn’t a good joke ^^

Open means “uben” in german so

Free Libre Open Source Software is FLUSS in german and that roughly translates to “fucking” and I think that’s beautiful.

Yeah but the babies were small, which is what matters here.

The thing with eggs is that they would probably have to be huge. I guess that the egg would maybe have to be 10x the size of the finished baby (Idk for sure though) due to inefficiencies in the food metabolism. While for chickens, that’s not a problem because the babies are small, for humans it would be difficult.

Yeah i basically just wanted to tell you that there’s actual data on stuff and if you wanna know, you gotta read it all, there’s a lot. I don’t know what it would help you and ask a question such as “is there a name for the time when we started to burn oil?” because if i give you an answer, what do you do with that answer? if you can’t embed it into a broader context, that answer seems pretty useless to me. So if you actually wanna know, maybe start reading it all. idk. maybe i come off arrogant, but that’s not my intention. i just don’t understand what your motivation for asking this question is?
