- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 weeks ago:
In Vienna, we actually import Australian species because of their strong resistance to heat. The very commonly used native buckeye trees have been eaten away at by pests for decades now, and I’m surprised they do not actually seem to die off, but they just stand there with brown leaves for most of the year.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 weeks ago:
For real though?
- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 weeks ago:
I guess the “problem” with trees is obvious: it takes decades for them to produce the desired cooling effect in urban areas. You plant a dozen young trees today, you can begin to reap the cooldown 10 years later at best. Also, they need a lot if water, and many of them just don’t make it - urban surroundings are just much hotter and more stressful (smog, salt…) then standing with other trees in a forest. I fail to see though how these artificial “trees” pesticide any kind of benefit at all.

I sort of used to have the same problem. You know, if you’re gonna add oat milk to your oatmeal, you might as well just use water. But, whatever the reason, it sites taste better with oat milk.

I asked an AI to draw me a group friends celebrating a birthday. The result was all blond white dudes. Then I asked it to make a diverse group of friends instead. The result was all black women.

Ah, got it. You had to watch Clockwork Orange to get it. Thanks for explanation!
- Comment on Testosterone vs. IQ 1 month ago:
The metaphor, as described in the caption, eludes me completely. Is it some sort of pun with the “carrying”? Why is the outlier carrying the control, and who benefits from it, how? Insider joke with just 1 insider?

Very similar to those who refer to women as “uterus-havers”. Pretty much the same.

- Comment on Stop making up states 5 months ago:
That’s also very interesting in light of the US superficially appearing to be strongly federal in nature (with the individual states enjoying a great deal of autonomy) - a structure which would historically be known to develop in a bottom-up manner, where preexisting smaller entities would federate to form a larger state. This history is telling very different story, where those entities were not actually preexisting, but invented by the central authority 😂
