Infinite growth meets finite world.

A little bot of both probably :)

That wouldnt keep users trapped on the site as long. Trapping the users on the site longer makes Google rank it higher.

Yeah but those life stories are there due to SEO, which also is Google's fault.

Yeah, but them telling you their life stories is also Googles fault...

Thank you for explaining. That was the context I was missing.

The work addresses the thorny problem of waste heat. Thanks to the second law of thermodynamics, a small amount of heat will always be released into the planet's atmosphere no matter what energy source we use — be it nuclear, solar, or wind — because no energy system is 100 percent efficient.

"You can think of it like a leaky bathtub," study coauthor Manasvi Lingam, an astrobiologist at the Florida Institute of Technology, told LiveScience. A small leak in a bathtub that's barely filled doesn't let out a lot of water. But as the tub continues to get filled — and our energy demands grow — that tiny leak can flood the whole house, Lingam explained.

I thought the problem was that CO~2~ was acting like a blanket trapping in all the heat. Is this "heat leaking" really a problem? If so, what about solar cells then?

I thought it's a kind of mushroom that only grows on corpses. Since we're both too lazy too look it up, who knows!

They don't do that in my country.

You get a stone with a number carved in it beforehand. You put the stone with the deceased body. Afterwards that stone is in the urn.

Edit: bonus fact, if the person was heavy, their ashes will be too.
