In 2016, being young and naive, I really thought that every human being had at least a basic common sense, some very basic decency, no matter the cultural background. I was so sure that this weird old man won't be the President Of The US fucking A.
And then those guys made him their president.
What the hell? Whats wrong with y'all?
Nah, the money makes up for it. I give code, I get money. The rest is up to management.
Maybe we are not done yet with understanding how our biological computer works.
On topics like this, I like to think about bacteria:
Before microscopes, it was unimagible to have little organisms on us and everywhere around us. People have been labelled crazy for believing that there is a whole small universe of organisms everywhere.
Then came microscopes, and suddenly everyone could see it for themselves.
What if we just don't have the right tools to make our magic sauce, spirit, soul, whatever visible to us yet?
It is also going to poison your brain, and mine, too.
This kind of reads like meditation, these words somehow have a calming effect. Like a call to be conscious and just take in the current moment and the surrounding vibes.
Also, I'm kind of high right now, so maybe it's just that, but thanks for your insights!
Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?
The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn't slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?
Shit.
Yep. And if you mention this, you're a commie and capitalism is the greatest thing ever and under socialism we will all starve and have nothing and it never worked look at Cuba.
Like capitalism works, and there are no imaginable alternatives.
Just don't use resources to produce that much useless crap to just dump it in a landfill or burn it? Is it so hard to understand?
