You say you want a conversation with me but you don’t even bother taking into account my suggestion which was actually very simple:
do a search of the word “sexism” and read at least something about it.
Instead, you chose to write this comment. Your approach doesn’t make me want to give you any more of my time at this point. So bye bye for now
If the term “mother earth” is sexist or not is something that depends on the context. Well, imo.
The characteristics you project to motherhood and fatherhood are totally stereotypical.
To me it seems obvious you haven’t spent any time on this topic and I assume that since you like writing, most probably you like reading? If that’s the case, I invite you to use your favorite search engine and start researching this topic. I really hope you’ll enjoy the findings!
Tbh the only thing I got from this text was sexism, not an image
And a relevant article from Carbon Brief:
Clean energy pushes fossil-fuel power into reverse for ‘first time ever’
Renewable energy has overtaken coal to become the world’s largest source of electricity in 2025, according to thinktank Ember.

Buy it for Life@slrpnk.net•Any suggestions for clothes available in the UK or EU which are at least hard wearing?English
4·5 days agoThat sounds like an excellent idea, so on a similar note I could suggest to go to shops that sell clothes for kitchen professionals. I have owned plenty of those, mainly trousers. They are super comfy and they kinda last forever.

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•We went to Finland to hear about the new 'sand battery' that will turn stored renewable energy back into power for the electrical grid
1·18 days agoI did a little bit of digging on this and if it looks like sand batteries are a subcategory of thermal batteries, which in their turn are part of what is called thermal energy storage . Wiki mentioned something that I found fascinating and that I totally didn’t know:
Thermal batteries are very common, and include such familiar items as a hot water bottle. Early examples of thermal batteries include stone and mud cooking stoves, rocks placed in fires, and kilns.
Try and explain how lobbying currently works then, without including corruption
Sure corruption is not an invention of capitalism, but one of the problems of capitalism is that it promotes and favors corruption. Lobbyists are an easy example of what I mean.

zerowaste@slrpnk.net•Discarded Plastic Can Be Converted Into Parkinson’s Drug
3·1 month agoIt seems to me you are missing the point. This is an article about a new scientific discovery. It is not an article about how capitalist industries implement science.

Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more@slrpnk.net•Newly Discovered Species Changes the Origin Story of Magic Mushrooms
1·1 month agoCould you share the link of this review you are talking about? I ask this because it seems to me it could easily be another study. For example, in the references there are over 90 of those.

Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more@slrpnk.net•Newly Discovered Species Changes the Origin Story of Magic Mushrooms
1·1 month agoApparently this paper came out a few years ago
Not too sure which paper you are refering to. The one linked in this article was published last week.

collapse of the old society@slrpnk.net•Why the world's food system is more fragile than you think
4·2 months agoDammit, I wonder why this is, I mean it works for me. Actually I archived it bc I can’t access the original source.
Anyways, the article can be found here: https://www.ftm.eu/articles/next-food-crisis-big-five-speculation I hope this works for you
Thanks a mil, just fixed this
I thought of adding a relevant link from Declassified UK. It’s a list of UK MPs funded by the Israel Lobby. At the bottom of this list are the Israeli organisations that do the funding.

Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more@slrpnk.net•Fungi turn shredded mattress foam into lightweight building insulation
2·3 months agoFor the first part, I suppose the answer is that the products made from mycelium (like insulations, packaging, furniture etc) they are dried beforehand, and the fungus dies. If it is not dried well, you get mushrooms. So, in a giy (grow it yourself) project, if the fungus used is an edible one, the failed projects gives you lunch. This is a process: Flower Pot from Mycelium and Cardboard
For the second part, about the rats, I really don’t know but I will keep an eye out for this topic.

Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.
1·3 months agoI am saying “isn’t earmarked for the federal government” and you come up with a fact check saying that it is not earmarked for military use. Which is the same thing.
No. “Isn’t earmarked for the federal government” is not the same as “isn’t earmarked for military use".
Any links to back what you say would be highly appreciated.

1·3 months agoI’m really sorry that this is what you got from what I wrote. I definitely don’t think we should keep using fossil fuel. On the contrary, I am all in for phasing out extractions and usage.

2·3 months agoCuz the US strategic oil reserve isn’t earmarked for the federal government
According to a factcheck site it looks like the U.S. Oil Reserve Created for Supply Disruptions, Not Strictly Military Use. So maybe your statement is wrong? Otherwise could you share the source you got this from?
the share of the military energy usage in the federal energy usage is entirely meaningless tot the oil consumption of the US economy
I don’t understand what you are saying, could you please explain and/or share a relevant link? Btw maybe I should clarify that by talking about “consumption” I was not talking in economic terms, just in the sense of “utilizing”.

423·3 months agoI have watched only a few minutes of this vid so far, as well as the timestamps and I must admit I don’t agree with this approach because of something I learned today.
He says around 2 m something like: the strategic US reserve of oil even tho the number of barrels sounds huge, they could sustain the US only a month of our current use. From the context my understanding is that he implies that this is due to casual, everyday-people consumption.
Well, it looks like the Department of Defense is the U.S. government’s largest fossil fuel consumer, accounting for between 77% and 80% of all federal government energy consumption since 2001. So why is this huge percentage missing from this long analysis?
Anyways, if he talks about the US military petroleum consumption, please let me know. Or if I got something wrong with this new info I got about the US military, let me know too.

































I thought of adding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) wiki page for easy access to pictures and some more general info
