  There is also this particular tone of light brownish green which is on so many industrial tools like drill presses, table top saws and so on. I kinda dig it

  Solar?

  I’m looking forward to LLMs copying the gibberish german communities like to use. It is very common there to translate things word for word without any regard for correct german grammar or understandibility.

  Yes, it is fascinating indeed, how applicable to many different actions and intentions that statement was. Thank you for pointing it out.

  Ahh, is that what startet all the sturgeon memes?

  I’m on board with ‘living on Mars makes no sense’ at least until we really run out of space here, but we have much more pressing issues before that. But I doubt Venus being more suitable. The high atmospheric temperature of Venus (~460°C) is pretty harsh and it is much more easy to heat than to cool stuff down. The high pressure also makes getting there difficult with the hard entry. Mars at least has a similat rotation period to earth.

  The key is to do both because they are principally coupled and nothing happens as long as consumers and corporations just point at each other and use it as an excuse to keep on going like before.

  Of course you are right that the focus should lie at changing CO2 output at the producer side because the influence is much more focused there. N my opinion it is also dangerous arguing that the companies only supply what the consumers want because that statement is based on the consumption and is biased too much by what the companies offer and at which price. Consumers usually socioeconomically do not have the choice to buy a product at 1.5 times the price, even if they would prefer it for environmental reasons while these companies have immense profits and can and must afford to reduce and finally stop emissions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fossil fuels⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To add to your last two paragraphs: even if the elected parties enact the more environmentally friendly policies, many voters will be unsatisfied with that because they imagined a solution would pop up where they themselves would not be required to make sacrifices. I imagine memes like this could be a reason for that as they imply that corporations emit greenhouse gases totally decoupled from the people’s consumption. I fully demand that corporations take more actions to reduce emissions although it will lower their profits, but I also ask (mainly) the privileged people who live in the global north to accept necessary reductions in lifestyle and consumption as a necessary consequence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fossil fuels⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that basically why laws need to be put in place ensuring that these high emitting companies (which are mostly from the global north) reduce their carbon emissions? The circumstances are often consequnce of ongoing western exploitation and they will just get worse if nothing is changed because it is not the rich countries which will suffer most from climate change.

  That is just a slightly different projection of the hyper intelligent pandimensional beings which we call rats.

  Is that actually what you are researching about? How would one make arbitrary photonic waveforms? Can one just use different monochromatic light sources and overlap them with adjusted phase shifts?
