“Summed up, the industry’s treadmill is speeding up and this will make production growth more difficult than it was in the past,”

And I am darn happy about that! Still shamelessly talking about growth, that’s just crazy.

The vast majority of poor people is born into poverty and homo sapiens is an animal species.

The real reason is that we humans are a very egocentric animal species with little thought to other humans and even less thought to other species.

I think it helps to realize that we will die either way. Maybe in a decade or two being unable to afford food or some climate catastrophe. Maybe later. Maybe tomorrow a car hits us deadly.

We will die and we don’t know when and how, so try to make the best out of every day and try to be nice to others.

Furthermore fairness is a human concept, we can never count on it.

“I wanna watch the world burn for what we’ve become”

I’m sorry! It’s just a song, I didn’t mean it literally!

It seems to get more difficult to end an article with optimisms:

But it would be wrong to call what is happening a “climate collapse” […] we still have time to secure a liveable future for many

For many, hm.

Reminded my of another article ending on

Here is where we need to invest and make changes and innovate and not give up. We can’t just write off billions of people.

If “average” only would mean that the temperature is the same everywhere.

Man, you are so right. The weirdest part is, that your behavior isn’t even socially very accepted.

I, too, love engines. I admire the technology and how genius they are put together. My dream is to own a cruiser motorbike and go drive through the countryside. I don’t think this will happen, as I would hate myself to burn fuel for pleasure.

I own a very old, tiny scooter, that I only use to carry heavy stuff. I used to carry on my shoulders, but mom in law felt sorry for me and gave me her oldest, broken, rusty scooter, that nobody used for months, because she bought a new one again. I repaired it. My wife gets upset, when I don’t drive her around. For example to the market 500 meters down the road to buy a can of soda or so. I only use it for hard work.

People surrounding me think I don’t like progress. No, man, I would love to have a more convenient life! Driving to me is fun, I enjoy it! I just can’t stand myself to do something bad to environment for my pleasure, so I try not to. And people think I’m weird.

I know people like you and me don’t even make a difference. Whatever amount we save and not emit in our whole lifetime - some ignorant wealthy will blow out within 5 minutes.

I’ve been thrown off by “An El Nino cycle is typically 2-7 years long.” But the Wikipedia page really says this.

However, I believe this is meant as the time between El Niño years, not how long a single El Niño pattern sticks.

Looking at history records (NOAA) makes me think so.

If anyone can clarify, please feel free to educate me.

Look up “bureau 39”. They have installed a nice cash flow institute, that goes around the sanctions.

This is just sickening! I’m not sure if I want to vomit or rage.

This looks scary to my layman’s eye.

Oh yeah, this is definitely hot! Shoot me up there into the endless fediverse! It’s time to discover all those niche galaxies riding a nice vessel!

And the melody is based on a Soviet march song. (Link leads to YouTube song)

Pension, lol. I don’t know how old you are, but I wouldn’t count on pension in very few decades.

We would need to do much more than flying less, driving less and invest money. We would need to change the entirety of our lifestyles. And by now we probably need to have luck as well.

The thought that people would unitedly leave Reddit was delusional.

I expected that only a small portion of people would really leave. I think there will be another small wave of leaving people when the 3rd party apps stop working.

But reality is: most humans don’t like change, most humans like convenience. Forums like this are made by a minority, who share knowledge and time and take time to help others out. The vast rest of members is lurking and meme posting.

But I expect the majority to stay, at least now. Probably this blackout helped developing new forums though and maybe Reddit’s popularity will slowly fade, we will see.
