HODL lol

Yeah that was some stupid shit, but coal was phased out at the same rate as nuclear in the last years. You also got to take into account that the decision to phase out nuclear was made before a critical mass (lol) of people realized that CO2 is a far bigger problem. I think the plants could be run some years more, but it takes more to flip a switch for that to work. We neither have personnel nor the supply chains anymore and building new plants will take decades, so it’s far easier to just put all effort into renewables.

Yes because we have nothing else and never will.

It’s really easy, just unplug your computer.

Hitler didn’t create a cultural identity for Germans, that already happened in the 1800s.

What would happen to a molten salt reactor when the ship sinks?

I have absolutely no idea what your point is (aside from “Americans bad hurr durr”)

“The aurora over the Rocky Mountains in the United States was so bright that the glow woke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning.”

Lol, this must’ve been hella confusing.

Oh man, there is so much to unpack here. We have been well past the tribal stage for millennia now, so I don’t really get your point here. And yes it was a social construct, not all animals are tribal. Great apes have very different social structures and behaviours regarding other groups, just compare chimpanzees and bonobos.

Human history is full of examples of overcoming tribal structures. The fact, that people from all over the world write English on platforms like lemmy is proof that it can’t be that important to stick to your “tribe” (I think you mean language group?) and exclude others.

And no, most europeans did not speak English well enough to take part in deeper conversations until very recently. We are getting there though and it’s absolutely noticeable when you look at YouTube content, subs and conversations on reddit, cultural products like music (compare the languages of the ESC now vs. 30 years ago).

I also don’t get what you mean by “identity”. Why can’t European, world citizen or human be an identity? National identities are just as manufactured as others would be.

And by “content” I’m obviously not talking about tiktok dances in hardware stores. I’m talking about what OP posted, critical analysis, politics, opinions.

Absolutely not. As a european, I find it extremely interesting to look for the parallels and differences between our societies and how problems are handled. We can all learn from each other.

The problem is, that we fail to produce an equal amount of output because we don’t have a common language and still see ourselves as our national identities rather than Europeans. If we widened our view and noticed more of what’s happening in other countries, we could be absolutely on par with the content Americans make and it would take us all a step closer to become actual world citizens.

Free to use? I use a version that forces me to have subscriptions for the most basic things :/

Pee in snow

Tried arch today. Didn’t even get to installing it on the partition. Pacman just won’t sync extra repo. No chance of letting reflector do it’s thing. Nobody seemed to have the exact same problem before. Mostly found half- or unanswered threads from before 1876. Gave up after an hour and installed Ubuntu with about 2.5 clicks.

Fuck that penguin. I hope it was delicious.

You’re definitely not getting young.

You are right. Seems I confused common sense with reality.

It’s a tool. Can’t sue the manufacturer if you injure someone with it.

Hard reboot right?

Yeah, please let’s keep the cryptoshit on reddit. We need c/buttcoin, where are you, u/AmericanScream?
