It’s all a spectrum. You start with pure light from the sun and air making sugar in plants, then the sugar is condensed into plant fiber then the plant fiber is squished into the ground for millions of years and the carbon in the fiber is squeezed into pure carbon, and you get pure dark beautiful dry coal. Then you take ground up dinosaur guts and throw them in a pit and you get gross mixed crude oil with everything in it. But it’s all just carbon.

Humans are different but in a way similar to flying animals or similar, our intelligence gives us access to cumulative technology more than any one person can do in their lifetime, it makes us a different category but still part of the system.

That’s entirely plausible. It’s fairly normal even. Thats still well over 10 million people and it’s common for people to be in the 95th percentile then go to college and be completely average.

Hooking up to a computer is just installing a software keyboard in your brain, that doesnt really mean or do anything. It’s what software you load after that’s relevant.

That was just to try and make the equipment work at all, it wasn’t about doing anything with software. It’s the opposite where you’re only worried about the physical damage and infection.

More importantly, it kills them when they’re old and already contributed most of their pollution and the cancer care also wastes lots of plastic and resources.

They both have some items that are semi exclusive or are better to buy from. Like if you want to buy big exercise equipment, it’s easier to return it if you have a physical store. Also, online places have higher rates of counterfeit items. So there are plenty of specific reasons to buy things in person.

There’s nothing funnier than the fallout post with a toilet with "mine corn"on it.
- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 3 months ago:
That’s still not a solution, because this sounds like they could embed it in the video file if they pursue it. And the basic issue is that you have tons of short videos you only watch once and all around it’s not really a good fit for torrents.
- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 3 months ago:
There’s lots of YouTube stuff that isn’t popular enough for anyone to post

- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 3 months ago:
They’re still in the acquire customers and market share phase and the number of providers is increasing. Increase in fees and predatory aspects comes later in the enshittification phase.

It’s associated with dim light you see naturally at dawn and dusk, so it makes sense that it has some effect. But exactly what isn’t clear and it might be a lot of it depends on the circumstance.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 4 months ago:
It’s not a settled issue. There are research papers that show evidence that blue light affects sleep, which is not the same thing as blue light makes your sleep worse.
