  OP doesn’t know purchase cost. Wallet deposit on that date doesn’t mean it was purchased 1 hour before.

  Thank you to all who refrain from posting twerking videos on shitpost. Sadly, I can imagine a thematic concept for it.

  Nope. Too many people making skynet. The dogs and goggles will do nothing.

  What if I wanted to cook the chicke through friction, by say inserting an object 3 fingers or so thick in and out of its cavity as fast as athletically possible? … so um… how long should I keep fucking my chicken?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI, Israelis aren’t allowed to leave Israel now, because playing the victim card requires using them as human shields. 9/11 was greatest US empire boost over Americans in history, and DNC firmly backs war and empire enslavement of Americans.

  There are some advantages, but 350kph might be fast enough for anybody, and it is a very expensive comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  70/30 this is right. Too many in middle east are friends to US to side too hard with Iran. Only Russia is a strong enough ally to destroy Tel Aviv, but most of US approaches to Russia have involved US statements that “Russia agrees that Iran should never have nuclear weapons” which means it is their primary concern with Russia discussions, even though Russia never mentions it in their statements.

  Tolerance for Israel seems high, and world seems to have bigger priorities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US joined the war in Europe as a war on USSR. To limit their gains. Colonizing the western part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Britain who has been at war with Russia for 80 years. Ironically, the only reason was to stay on the good side of its colonist emperor, and be its favorite. That British society is entirely programed to CIA/MI6 Russophobia doesn’t stop when Daddy slaps them. Just got to work harder for daddy’s love, is only political position in Overton window instead of pursuing best relations for citizens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plastic is not a climate problem. Ocean pollution is mainly fishing nets. There is a garbage problem that automation can help with recycling. Making fishing nets out of cotton instead of nylon would be a big improvment.

  Wood and paper is a renewable resource that could be used more. Global warming is especially a threat to vast northern forests with fire that are paper sources, while also permitting more/bigger tree growth in the regions. Harvesting trees is a solution to fires, and more demand an incentive to prevent fires.

  Manufacturing with compressed sawdust could be a cost competitive alternative to plastic, but the binder could make the wood product less recyclable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The proposal for 100% tariffs on movies is certain to put AMC in immediate bankruptcy, if done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also a clue from one of the links is that “German industrial rate customers, cost is $200k/btc”. Their industrial rate is $0.25/kwh, and so then their claim is based on 12c/kwh utility rates. Utility rates has pretty much always been cost prohibitive. Wholesales and behind the meter power is certainly an advantage large scale mining uses.

  On Nov 20th, Goldman Sachs expected 2025 growth to be 2.5%, and had just a 15% chance of recession. Now recession is likely, and the most optimistic forecasts for the year are 1.1%-1.2%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIU, it doesn’t change the PH neutrality.

  I understand that they self combine/react again? But is that reaction still water?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  H2O is neutral PH, and so answer is no. But then water tends to have a bunch of shit disolved in it. So answer is yes.

  A self-contradicting proposition based on ambiguity of definition of water, of all things. This statement can be used to make HAL explode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI, this is unpopular among Canadian voters. Conservative underdog, tries to deny being a lapdog, or supporting the idea, but this unfiltered BS doesn’t help him. It’s just a sign that Trump is completely out of control surrounded only by people who must restrain themselves on pushback to only far stupider things he might say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Electricity is a pretty easy concept. Steam power driving magnets and copper. That rare earths make better magnets should be easy enough to search for them. Copper wires to deliver the electricity easy AF. Can help jump start progress to late 21st century for some things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how to refine oil, but knowing that its refinable into diesel/gasoline is a pretty good start to looking for it. A head start on murdering some sperm whales for lighting industry seems easy enough to figure out. Partnering with metal smiths who might have a clue on making gun barrels, and pipe’s in general that could be used for advanced weaponry, would be an easy path to get governments to give me a ton of money for weapons research by just showing them some drawings. Doesn’t really matter if I ever figure out how to do it, just the vision of what is possible would make me richer than Musk. Richer if I can help enslave all of humanity to one empire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China tells US to ‘cancel all unilateral tariffs’ if it wants talks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  China is definitely winning the posturing game, and Trump saying “trade negotiators met today, but cannot be named” is yet another of his obvious lies.

  China having meetings with Japan, while Japan’s meetings with US don’t go anywhere, because Trump is only interested in complaints instead of asking anything specific and reasonable, is simply a continuation of the original reason reciprocal tariffs were suspended for 90 days: Chinese trade and diplomacy exploded in just a few days.

  Liz Truss was so horrible that if she did not actively poison the Queen, made her so digusted with UK/world as to give up all hope for life. JD, as vice anti-Christ, can have a similiar effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The US has threatened Russia for last 80 years. At increased levels in last 20 years. Forcing Russia to defend itself in last 3 years has made it stronger. There is absolute blowback danger from Russia, that can extend to nuclear destruction, but it as fully self inflicted as going around zoinking Grizzly bears’ tails. Foreign national threats to US are entirely the result of US evil, and US desperation is making it worse.
