  The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.

  First paragraph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨euphoric recall⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Things that have been improving:

  • Global poverty rate (going down)
  • Global average lifespan (going up)
  • Global literacy rate (going up)
  • Global internet access (going up)
  • Global infant mortality and maternal mortality (going down)

  The reality is, most of the world by many metrics is getting better over time. There are things that threaten this (climate change and increasing authorititarianism) and it has slowed, but overall we are still generally positive trajectory wise.

  Welp, civil war, escalating to nuclear war, starting 2026? See you all there.

  IMO a tankie on the left is just a pure anti-west authoritarian cosplaying as a communist - the communism is largely window dressing and they are generally perfectly happy defending Russia (obviously not communist) or authoritarian nonsense from China and other communist countries.

  It still doesn’t really make much sense in a world where the vast majority of things are replicated. The only things that would give them worth are things that cannot be replicated:

  • Specific real estate
  • Experiences
  • Favors?

  I am about to scream at the number of people who use Google Slides as a method to document policy.

  “We should allow higher density and missing middle housing to be built and promote alternatives to cars” == “We want to bulldoze everything”?

  Cars absolutely do suck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tidal Energy Is Not Renewable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  if we were to extract the rotational energy just to supply 1% of the world’s energy consumption, the rotation of the Earth would lock to the Moon in about 1000 years. As a consequence, one side of the Earth would be exposed to the Sun for a much longer period than it is today.
