  • Yes but unlike Facebook and other platforms, Tik Tok is aimed at and consumed by minors specifically.

  • Tik Tok pushes so much toxic content towards children and teenagers it should be shut down in my opinion.

  • No, he looks cute, not dumb!

  • There are a number of reasons why it may not be possible to solve a problem at a particular time. A positive distraction can be healthy during such a phase

  • Burning coal creates more radioactive waste but with nuclear power it’s contained instead of combusted into the air we breathe.

    Fortunately, opposing nuclear power does not mean supporting fossil fuels.

    Still not a fan of nuclear, mainly because I think it takes quite long to build compared to the timeframe we have for fixing climate change

    Agreed, that is another good argument against nuklear.

  • Yes indeed -sorry if I was unclear- that is what I meant when i wrote

    except you put way too much liquid into your trash

    The folded paper is to buffer the inevitable small amounts of liquid that will accumulate at the bottom and sometimes cause a leak, despite putting in as less liquid as possible.

  • Pro tip: If you put a few sheets of folded newspaper on the bottom of a garbage bag as a moisture buffer, leakage almost never happens, except you put way too much liquid into your trash and then it´s your own fault.

  • I agree with that as long as nuclear is used as transition tech and phased out asap.

    1. That is a propaganda website of the world nuclear association
    2. It does not even say anything about plutonium use for nukes. In case I missed something, please quote.
  • keep in mind if you cite half of the data and you get half of an answer

    What half is missing in your opinion?

    nuclear is not perfect but is a wayy better option than most in the transition to renewables.

    I oppose both though, fossil and nuclear, because both are harmful. The world has enough energy as it is now, so why invest huge sums in transition technologies like nuclear instead of going fully renewable plus storage right away?

  • Agreed, the fact that nuclear power plants produce material for nuclear weapons is another strong argument against nuclear power.

  • Environmental and Health Consequences of Uranium Mining

    Tailing deposits can cause landslides, air contamination, and wildlife exposure. Uranium tailings contain small particles that are picked up and transported by the wind. The radioactive particulates in the air can be concentrated enough to cause health issues including lung cancer and kidney disease. [6] These particles also contaminate soil and water. Furthermore, growing piles of mining debris become unstable and can result in fatal landslides, such as the 1966 landslide of Aberfan, which resulted in the death of 144 people. [7] Tailing ponds pose serious hazards to the environment as well through leaks, in which underground water becomes contaminated with heavy metals. [5] This can lead to the pollution of lakes and rivers. Local ecosystems, too, are harmed and destroyed by waste piles and ponds. Rain can interact with tailings and introduce sulfuric acid in aquatic ecosystems, similar to in-situ leaching. Wildlife exposure can also occur directly through interaction with tailing ponds. In particular, waterfowl often land and use tailing ponds, resulting in dire consequences. In 2008, 1600 ducks flew into a tailing pond and died in Alberta, Canada. [8] Evidently, the repercussions of uranium mining are far-reaching. Certain groups of people, however, are at greater risk of exposure to associated hazards.

    The United States has a history of environmental inequity in which people of color and low-income communities are disproportionately subjected to environmental risks and consequent health hazards. Uranium mining is no different. Navajo Nation land, for example, is littered with tailing piles, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency has mapped 521 abandoned uranium mines on the reservation. [5,9] In this regard, uranium mining serves as an avenue for continued environmental racism, and the issue demands close examination and public awareness.

  • I find it hard to tell what is worse. The authoritarian military dictatorship or the Muslim brotherhood with their medieval social ideas. Just one thing seems clear, the death penalty is wrong and violates fundamental human rights.

  • Stop pretending. It is obvious that the guy is a pro nuclear advertiser. Anyone can see that in a 5 minute google search.

  • Nuclear waste is not inherently any more toxic than standing outside under the sun.

    Nuclear waste contains Plutonium and that is only one of several highly toxic substances it contains. Are you seriously trying to tell me Plutonium is not extremely toxic?

    But you repeated that because you were brainwashed by the propaganda, that the oil industry paid for to disseminate in pop culture.

    Both, the nuclear and the fossil lobby have spread disinformation systematically, you are a good example for the pro nuclear propaganda. I on the other hand reject both, fossil and nuclear because both are harmful.

  • The guy is obviously an advertiser/influencer working for the nuclear industry, which makes his opinion on the topic irrelevant.
