This guy beat ChatGPT in an argument.

Congrats

Maybe I’m an idiot but does computing power for something like this come from just one location?

Democrats want new leaders for their party, which many feel isn't focusing enough on economic issues and is over-emphasizing issues like transgender rights and electric vehicles, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

You’re right, it is more complicated because there is usually more than one party involved. Regardless, if anything were available like a true vaccine, someone would piggyback on that research and make bank

lol who downvoted this. I work in healthcare and a bunch of our research if funded by pharmaceutical companies. It’s not like they do it all in house

If they say “we won’t pursue your drug you discovered” then you 100% can pursue it elsewhere

Imagine the business unit telling the scientists “sorry, we can’t put out your vaccine, please alter it” and the scientists replying with anything other than “go fuck yourself, I’m selling this for millions to someone else” lol

There’s no conspiracy to prevent an HIV vaccine

They get it from synthetic fertilizer? You think it comes from cattle lol?

Dude, you cut a cow and you need WAAAAAY less land and fertilizer than if you feed that cow.

And yes, not all land for cattle feed can be used for human crops, but even if we had zero beef, we’d have enough land to support human crops.

I honestly think you’re trolling now because you’re not only denying reality and making up absurd claims, but you’re ignoring my points and not responding to them lol.

Is synthetic fertilizer bad for the environment? Sure, but we need a hell of a lot less when we decrease beef production. If you add more cattle for natural manure fertilizers, you need more land to grow their feed. This is a self-perpetuating cycle.

Also, for the record, not every inch of land categorized as grazable is not able to support cattle (arid, bad soil fertility, mountains and other terrain issues, etc.). When I said we couldn’t meet current demand, that assumes those were non-issues.

Sure bud. Sure. Just make all the cattle free range and we solve every problem in the world.

Now we just have to subsidize beef even more than we already do so that people can afford their free range beef. God forbid they eat another form of protein that’s sustainable and environmentally friendly.

There’s reality and then there’s your hypotheticals. I’ll continue to discuss reality but not absurd hypotheticals like “let’s just change 95% of our beef production”.

And for the record, 5x is a vast overstatement. It’s closer to 2-3x. Still not plausible. Even if every single inch of grazable land on the planet were filled with cattle (and no other animal), we could not fill current beef demands. And that’s a demand that will grow very rapidly in the coming decades.

And about 30 seconds on google shows that’s less than 3% of beef production. That’s why deforestation is so rapid.

If we shifted all of our cattle to grazers, we’d have less than 1/3rd of our current beef production due to land constraints.

Sure, if “financing” didn’t involve interest

That’s not a gym, it’s a full on spa

Obligatory “not vegan” but it’s hilarious to me when people ignore this.

Why do you think we cut down trees? Yes, more farmland. Farmland for what? To feed the cattle lol

Pill

You could read the article before you comment lol

Even just the full set of free weights at a gym is the price of an annual membership (more than some discount gyms), let alone the expensive machines.

That or straight up trolling

We have more people than we used to. Being too close to people causes cancer

Q.e.d.

Weird interpretation of “over 5 million”

Edit: elsewhere in the Wikipedia article it says “4-6”. Not seeing anything like 13

Surely this will end well.

Does that Lemmy remindme! bot still work?
