Sorry, I only know the piracy community in dbzer0.

Last time I bothered to check, worldnews looked like that on .ml, also happened to r/Chomsky.

Top to bottom single topic. Nothing else matters, nothing else discussed, nothing else happens, no thought, just despair, hate and circlejerk in what used to be ideologically diverse communities with some inherent contrarianism and debate.

I see there is a broader reason: without colonial empires and without a technological or demographic advantage, we are in decline. The only thing going for Europe is the progressiveness and open societies, which allowed us to patch up demography with migrants, but even that is being attacked and lost.

Europe is going back to being irrelevant in global terms, which means economic decline and economic decline always leads to political instability and crazy people taking over with stupid solutions, but they always fail, because there isn’t enough growth to make people happy.

Best that can be done is slow the decline and spread the sacrifices with left policies, but inevitably incumbents will get punished and we get back to megalomaniac miracle cures that set us back again.

“Made of” can mean “composed of” or “constructed from”. This is the latter:

Savor says they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heat them up, oxidize them and get a final result that looks like candle wax but is in fact fat molecules like those in beef, cheese or vegetable oils.

The entire process releases zero greenhouse gases, uses no farmland to feed cows, and despite its industrial appearance, has a significantly smaller footprint.

“In addition to the carbon footprint being much lower for a process like this, right, the land footprint is, like, a thousand times lower than what you need in traditional agriculture,”

Good example of how choice of words can mislead, particularly when intentional.

I disagree with this, I feel like people tend to rewrite history in their brains, especially with this one, since it has the 2023 date.

e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20230624100232/lemmy.ml/c/worldnews

Looks like lemmy.ml was a relatively normal place for a while before hexbear tried to refederate with the fediverse, that was a torrent of diarrhea, yes, but they quieted down a while after. The major turning point was when hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7th that year and everything Israel has done ever since. Then that infighting took over and destroyed any rational discourse in lemmy.ml.

I’ve seen this happen with subreddits too also with the Gaza topic. It is the best way to nuke any lefty community.

You could go with factors like culture, geopolitics, colonialism, centralization, but all you can think of is a strawman about “race”. Weak, dude.

russia as a constitutional monarchy: shithole

russia as a communist state: shithole

russia as a democracy: shithole

…

I’m starting to think that the problem is russia itself and not the government type.

cost :/ and low energy conversion efficiency. Whereas expensive novelty edibles may have a high price, fuels, not so much.

Isn’t margarine hydrogenated oil? These guys made the oil, apparently.
