Oh, gotcha. The word ‘only’ instead of ‘just’ would have made the sentence more clear. Anyway, I wish you happiness and good health!

We can’t afford it? Then we go extinct. What is the higher price? Anyway, it’s probably out of our hands by now. Like I mentioned, nature will probably choose for us, and she always takes the path of least resistance.

It’s definitely better than nothing, I’ll agree, but also underwhelming from where we need to be because it makes such little difference. Most greenhouse gasses come from factory farming and the activities of corporations. We should still make these baby steps in green technology even if it’s too late to change our fate, because the science of it is or could be valuable for an easier, more comfortable, or slower extinction process - as morbid as that sounds.

Theoretically, it could make aviation almost carbon neutral due to inherent inefficiencies, but what good will that do? We need to be heavily carbon negative in order to even have a the tiniest, faintest glimmer of hope to avert our own extinction if we continue to do nothing about this problem.

Reducing consumption is the only way to achieve this but that requires either a monumental shift in human behavior, or simply less humans. And, since we seemingly aren’t making the choice, I wonder which one nature will choose for us…

Haha yeah I know, just making that joke while I still can lol

It’s because the ice melted didn’t it.

Not much else to say except yes you’re right. Unfortunately, the average person doesn’t care or understand the difference.

Scientists have been loudly warning us about greenhouse gasses for over 200 years. We didn’t listen, still are not listening, and this is the result that has been predicted for centuries. Many more people will die, as required, all for some pieces of paper monopoly money that we just made up and pretend has value. Humanity is so special!

I think these would look pretty cool in my art deco living room, and they’re free too! Such a great deal ;)

My god you are insufferable. Go back to reddit you troll.

In this context, it is. Reddit isn’t even a tangible product, barely 18 years old. The 3rd party apps made reddit a little valuable, I’ll admit, but still there is nothing on reddit that is unavailable elsewhere.

Of course these are just my opinions I never said I was speaking for everyone, that’s the point of conversing.

When I think of value, it’s something that is needed. If reddit disappeared right now, nothing would change. Everyone’s lives would continue on as normal, and what information that is on reddit can be found elsewhere. It’s entertaining, yes, but not valuable.

You mean logarithmic? It wouldn’t look as good at first but maybe over time the line will become at least linear, hopefully.

That is one beautiful graph!

Straight to jail.

I’ll have to disagree, reddit is not a living thing, it is made up of users and creators, the good 10% of which you speak. Although I’ll agree reddit went through many phases, some better than others. The end result though is what I am describing.

Shit posts are not necessary and bots are not inevitable, they are are allowed. I’ll confess, I do enjoy both occasionally. But, real people make these decisions, they are not generated automatically. A real person clicks the button, for lack of a better phrase, and they can just as easily not click it, philosophically speaking.

Humans will be humans though and it’s only a matter of time before even lemmy will be ruined. That’s what we do best, for better or worse.

Reddit has real value? It’s 90% bots, shit post after shit post and shit comments all the way down. Nothing you cant find anywhere else on the web. If reddit had any value, it doesn’t anymore.
