  • Last year Sweden had some really high power prices and part of the problem was that multiple reactors where shut down for extended periods of time.

    Its not an attack on nuclear, it's a defense of wind. No system is perfect and you can't say that wind is unreliable and then ignore that we had reactors be shut down for multiple months.

  • The thing with wind power is that it doesn't blow all the time but it always blows somewhere so a large spread of small wind farms gets more stable as it grows. Also, nuclear power is also unreliable because they regularly gets shut down for maintenance or safety reasons.

  • This is also the government that cancelled 17 planned wind parks for no reason and then has the audacity to lecture other countries about energy security. I am pro nuclear power but Ebba Bush is so psychotically pro nuclear that it borders on kink territory.

  • Did you miss the part where Catholic and conservative countries still uses tampons less than other countries. The main issue is that they think it

    A. Increase masturbation because it requires the girl to familiarize themselves with their own genitals

    And

    B. Breaks the hymen and makes the girl no longer a virgin.

    These are things that conservatives absolutely still care about and if you read r/twoXchromosomes you will eventually see women with conservative parents having to snuggle their tampons into the house.

    Also, why are conservatives losing their minds over Tim Walz providing tampons to schools if what I am saying isn't a thing anymore?

    Like a presidential candidate once said, things dont just fall out of coconut trees. They are influenced by what was before.

  • It was not legally enforced but it was socially enforced trough stores refusing to sell them to you and mothers calling you a whore if they find them in your room.

    This source is paired with multiple posts on r/XYchromosomes where their mothers associates tampons with being sexually active and an anecdote from Jo Brand on QI where she casually talks about having to use disgusting rags because the store would not sell her tampons.

    • Until as late as the 1950’s, every packet of tampons had to carry the warning ‘Not suitable for unmarried women’ for fear that virginity might be impaired, which was of course untrue. To this day however, in predominately Catholic countries, sales of pads are notably higher than tampons.

    Fucking Lemmy people making me do research.

    An additional source that I am unable to find is Jo Brand on an episode of QI talking about stores refusing to sell tampons to unmarried women.

  • Some men just hate that women have bodily functions but in this case its because they believe that tampons have sexual undertones because it involves insertion. For a long time in England, only married women were allowed to buy them and I can only assume that there were similar rules in The US.
