  • Everything's a joke, but nothing is. Everything's ironic, but also everything's serious. Jokes are meant to make light of situations, but you can't make them about serious stuff. It's Schrödinger's comedy, a true definition of Metarcasm: Everything real is satire and every satire is genuine.

  • Ah yes, another very "for the players"-move indeed

  • Austria, early 30s, have driven an automatic only once in my life. I kinda get the appeal, but I don't feel like the little bit of convenience justifies the higher price point, so I wouldn't get one myself unless it costs the same (or less) as the same car with a manual.

  • Maybe some inspiration from the legend of the tree that owns itself would be in order

  • In what world is "It will last longer" an answer to "I can't afford that"? I doesn't matter how long something will last if people don't have the extra money to spend on something more expensive.

  • German: "Dich soll der Blitz beim Scheißen treffen" - Lightning shall strike you while you're taking a shit

    Best insult ever, imo.

  • 🇺🇸 : So they can autonomously democratize some of the oil trapped in the Middle East and then bring it back home, too? 🇺🇸

  • Me: An ATV for the beach, a Snow Mobile for the winter and a Jet-Ski just because they're fun.

    Yamaha: Of course!

    Me: Oh, and you wouldn't know where I could find a DVD player?

  • Can't speak for Guitars and Violins, but their drum hardware is top notch amazing stuff

  • actual indviduality

    I can't even remember how many different shells i had for my Nokia 3310, but damn was it fun to change those around based on the mood of the day!

  • Good bot 😊 👍

  • Actually, it's 中央情报, not Central Intelligence. Those are two completely different things.

  • Stuff Made Here is an absolute treasure

  • Us dying off wouldn’t fix the climate

    Not short-term, but absolutely in the long run, since it definitely would make it a lot easier for natural balance to fix itself if we stopped messing with it. "The planet™" has recovered from other accidents before, humans are just another speed bump. It surely wouldn't hurt if we just stopped pumping greenhouse gasses into the air today.

    Only human ingenuity can

    I think you're severely overestimating our capabilities as a species. It's always easier to break something than to fix it and it took us a good few decades to fuck up our climate in the first place. I admire your optimism regarding humanity, but I honestly think it's futile. As long as there's money to be made, no amount of regular people trying to save the planet is going to make any impact. Or in other words: the world won't be saved below 13 figures.

    unironically calling for people to die over this

    No the hell I'm not. You asked for "the best way", i.e. the most efficient way, to save animals. Answer: Since humans are the biggest threat to all of nature (that includes animals), less humans = higher chance of survival for everything else. If you asked "what's the best way to increase Zebra populations" I would've said "get rid of lions", but that doesn't mean I'd advocate for it! If you want something to live, the easiest way to achieve that is to remove what's killing it. And when it comes to most species, that, more often than not, is humans. No bad faith, no disingenuity, just the simple observatoin that the most dangerous threat to all living things on earth are humans and everthing else would be way better off if we weren't around. Nowhere did I ever mention that it's something I'd actually recommend anyone to do.

    For the same reason the best non-morbid thing people can do to help save the climate is not having children, since the environmental impact of having a child is up to 58,6 tonnes of additional carbon each year.

  • You asked and that's the simple truth. The climate collapse you mentioned is caused / accelerated by humans and nothing decreases an individuals carbon footprint more than dying. Less humans = less consumption = less human impact on the global climate = better chances of survival for animals.

  • Suicide. Every human less increases some poor animal's chances. If enough people died today, some species may even not go extinct just yet.

  • Once again proof that dogs and their owners really kinda do resemble each other.

    Or in other words: Look at that cutie! Awwww, who's a good boy!? Yes you are. Yes you are! I just wanna cuddle him and feed him pudding and make sure he's happy :D

    And if you wanna take the dog with you, that'd be fine by me, too!
