It was grabbing a toehold even when our world was a literal hellscape.

Actually this makes sense in the context of autocatalytic sets hypothesis - you'd need large variety of inorganic compounds and a strong energy gradient to kickstart a metabolism.

There's great video on the subject from Sabine Hossenfelder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yOiZLHDV3U

Part I'm talking about starts at 15:48

Without the Ron Perlman as main character, and Guillermo del Toro as director, I'm pretty much disinterested

I'm not saying there aren't any - It's just the flood of the garbage that concerns me

Did I say it should be banned? Nope, the whole point is that there's lack of artistic content

Don’t tell others how to live their lives.

Where the hell did I do that?

This is a complex one. Due to the stigma, porn devolved into a horrible, primitive content made by primitive people, for the primitive people. Our culture is full of non erotic art, then on the opposite side is utterly tasteless, very vulgar porn, and you see almost nothing in between

This situation is pathological, because erotic art should exist and be plentiful in normal society. But the stigma eliminated the good stuff, leaving only the consumers, and producers who don't frankly care about any social norms...

Not as far back as that. I first tried joining here through kbin.social back during the reddit API drama.

Fuel would be extremely expensive because we'd drive either on plant oil or alcohol. Possibly at the expense of the food supply

Edit: Probably industrial revolution would be slowed into a crawl, and the high performance economies wouldn't develop until the discovery of nuclear power

Mostly? The new horrible interface reddit pushes harder and harder on me.

To be honest I got initially repelled by significant number of hardcore socialists here, but the community is much more diverse now

It's pretty impressive that integrated graphics can perform this well.

path for exploitation

Why is that?

You're asking if it's based?

AI design!

As long as they trust the writers to respect the source material

Witcher flashbacks...

It's a stretch but not a massive one - I think 2035 is more realistic. Solar deployments double around every 3 years so it'll double by 2027 and quadruple by 2030 and so on unless some limiting factor is reached

AFAIK they have country code and product code in them.

Netflix is also working on a live-action film adaptation

This totally won't be a disaster.

I wonder how low oil price needs to fall before extraction isn't feasible anymore?

If the data is correct, these are the last years of fossil growth - from now on, renewables will be outpeacing the growing demand

not the 4,000+

Unlimited powah!
