  • You literally cannot trust a word any of these clowns say. After Roe was struck down they said “we’ll just leave it up to the states” and now that a majority of Americans are making it clear state by state that they want the right to control their own bodies they’ve once again changed their tune.

    “This is why a pure democracy doesn’t work”

    i.e. let’s subvert the will of the people. Trump tried and failed to do it too. I’m beginning to believe the worst words you could possibly hear from someone’s mouth is “I’m a conservative”


  • We are (very likely) already past the point of no return when it comes to tipping points. You can’t refreeze the arctic which is currently thawing at alarming rates. You cant grab the methane back from the air and put it into the ground.

    The release of methane and other ancient CO2 from the permafrost will catapult us past other tipping points like a BOE as well.

    It’s not fatalistic, it’s realistic. The IPCC has warned of this stuff for years and people still believe renewables are going to allow us to skirt the worst of climate change when it’s already locked in lol.


  • Not like it even matters at this point. There’s a decades long lag time on CO2 emissions so even if we completely stop today the planet will continue warming for decades.

    Not to mention the arctic circle is a literal ticking time bomb that will blow long before the anyways. Methane is literally blasting out from the ground leaving giant craters behind. Methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere.

    Just look at how countries around the world combatted COVID. Climate catastrophe is going to be magnitudes worse than that and people are still sticking their heads in the sand.

    You’ve never heard of people reporting others taking bad about their company on social media? Even if it’s under a broad context and no name drops people have gotten fired.

    Most people don’t realize just how much of their life is shared on social media and are fine with accepting any and all friend/follow requests from coworkers who are friendly enough and not weird.









  • Yep, it’s faster and it shows more posts than Memmy does for me. Logged in on the same account Memmy shows less posts from across the fediverse for whatever reason. Voyager shows everything I see on the desktop version of Lemmy.

    Also a native app version with haptics and notifications is in the works for Voyager if that’s your kind of thing.


  • I don’t believe that those scenarios are that plausible.

    lol i think they said the same thing about the Titanic sinking. also the submarine guy said the same thing about it imploding.

    Hmm 🤔

    also all evidence that’s not conservative propaganda points to us hitting the worst possible outcomes when it comes to climate change. Read the IPCC reports and the worst case scenarios listed within. That’s what’s going to happen over the next ~40 years






  • Sure. Essentially what happens is the ocean absorbs much of the CO2 that’s released by us. If you’ve ever heard the term “ocean acidification” that’s what causes it.

    Water and the oceans change on a much more gradual scale than the atmosphere, so it takes decades for the CO2 to be released back into the air. For example, if you bring a pot of water to an open flame it still takes time for the water to reach the temperature to boil, it’s not instantaneous.

    The ocean is far more massive than our atmosphere. It’ll take time for the changes to take effect, especially a noticeable one on our end. But if you take a look at the ph levels of the oceans over the last century it becomes abundantly clear we’re messing things up big time.
