  Cremation uses more energy than you get from burning flesh, turns out a bag of mostly water doesn’t actually burn very well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  FWIW this isn’t true, the $700 quintillion figure was an estimate of the total metal value (most of which would be iron as it happens) based on the asteroid being similar in composition to nickel-iron meteorites. As it happens we actually think it’s a fair bit rockier than that these days. There’d still be vast amounts of metal there but it would be harder to mine and process with the extra rock.

  Also the estimate was just multiplying the mass of each metal by its current market price, which isn’t how any of this works anyway and AFAIK wasn’t actually made by NASA just to round out the number of ways this is wrong.

  It has ~70% the conductivity of pure copper, it’s not “shit”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More likely - whichever billionaire mined it would hoard it off the market to keep the value high and make them richer.

  Nah, level 1 is actually correct. Regardless of its etymology, octopus is an english word and should be pluralised accordingly.

  I believe what he was trying to get at is that the shikimate pathway that glyphosate inhibits is also used in the bacteria and fungi that make up the gut microbiome.

  Not sure what his overall point was supposed to be (or whether he had one) but that’s the “microbiome is plants” part.
