Fritz Haber invented nitrogrn fixing fertilizers and is responsible for the massive baby boom across the globe after ww2 because so much more food could now be grown.

Except now there are 8b+ people on an increasingly warming and polluted planet and these fertilizers (alongside modern farming techniques and climate collapse, both of which came about because of this baby boom…) have all but destroyed the planets’ arable land.

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization is warning that 90% of the earth’s top soil will be depleted by 2050.

The aluminium nanoparticles these satelites shed when they burn up in re-entry during their disposal, are also toxic.

Even if we stopped all greenhouse gas emmisions right now, the amount of heat stored in the ocean isn’t going to lower any time soon.

To add to this there’s also a massive El Nino about to happen and a potentially double Blue Ocean Event.

So with increasingly hot and highly acidic oceans now expelling Co2 (while also dissolving all the vitally important oxygen producing phytoplankton), and fuck all ice cover at the poles to reflect the radiation from the sun, the earth will continue to heat faster and faster.

We’re also going to run out of fresh water reserves globally very soon, and arable land is still looking to be 90% depleted by 2050, so massive global famines will kill billions in the next few decades.

And this isn’t even taking into account the feriliser shortage and El Nino induced crop die off we’re expecting in the next year, which while it might lessen the impact of further greenhouse gasses on our planet by killing a lot of people, is only going to speed up the soil degredation issue we’re facing.

Considering our current course of action is basically ‘business as usual’, the planet might not even be habitable to any life whatsoever once we’re done with these feedback loops. ‘Venus by Tuesday’ is an exaggeration when it comes to timescale, but a very real possibility otherwise.

Not who you asked, but as a former sex worker- condoms and regular std screenings.

I’ve never had an std and slept with probably nearing a thousand people.

I did some sugar baby-ing and fetish work at private events before I found the brothel and that involved a bunch of regulars and parties, but honestly the social aspect and having to maintain character for so long was just exhausting.

And negotiating payment and staying safe was also a constant battle as far too many guys would be like “but we’re friends now” and get upset when I’d say otherwise.

I would have quit sex work or probably gotten murdered tbh had I not found the brothel.

Despite the brothel taking half of each booking as payment the security there was great and the rooms were really practically designed, plus the place was heaving most of nights I worked too.

I had a few local guys there who’d see me weekly, mainly I think though as we shared an ethnicity/language which is really rare in that part of the world. I think they were just lonely more than anything else tbh, I’d say about half my bookings with them were usually just getting high, cuddling and talking.

Most of the clientel otherwise were parties of guys celebrating stuff and tourists, which with the prebooked 1 hour time slots, was pretty easy to deal with.

I was going to say Spaced till I remembered Twist and Brian have their weird thing and he maybe slept with Marsha. Tim and Daisy never hook up tho, but they do pretend to be a couple for a bit to get the flat.

Black Books - Bernard does mention he once possibly might have slept with Fran but she made him forget, and then it never comes up again.

Ikr? The knot on that top right one is giving me ideas.

Lmao, I am going to piss so many people off with this. Thank you for sharing it!

With jam and whipped cream!

Thanks! It’s been a decade strong so far and I can’t see myself ever eating animals again.

I buy it canned most of the time too.

The canned stuff is almost identical to the homemade version anyway as there’s only like 8 ingredients in a ratatouille and 6 of them are always going to be the same vegetables in approximately the same ratios.

Aye fair enough, my bad. I’ve been having this ai datacentre discussion in a few places recently and the whole concept of datacentres had become linked to ai in my mind.

Ngl I sometimes really wish I was wasn’t such a misanthrope and more predisposed to cultish behaviour.

Some Jim Jones motherfucker taking the reigns with fruity drinks and the company of all my new cult freinds, would be so, so nice.

I barely even enjoy talking to people online anymore though, so like fuck am I going to be putting myself out there irl and networking to find the right cult.

Eh there’s autism uncanny valley and then there’s the uncanny valley of this waxy skinned freak.

That isn’t a normal skin texture, and I’ve never seen an image of him not looking waxy.

It’s good on buttered toast, but yeah not exactly an English dish.

Toasted crumpets slathered in butter and marmite, or jam.

Marmalade on sourdough toast.

Ploughmans sandwiches with good bread. (This one is not as good since going vegan though, as vegan butter is almost identical but the cheeses not so much.)

Sticky toffee pudding

Christmas pudding

Roast potatoes

Elderflower cordial

Gin

Before going vegan I quite liked smoked makrel and various tinned fish on toast. Kedgeree was good too, but that’s a Scottish take on an Indian dish.

Idk I don’t really eat much ‘British’ food despite being born here, both my parents are immigrants from different countries.

Nearing a thousand probably, I spent a few years as a sex worker at a busy brothel.

Disregarding sex work, idk like 60 or so, maybe more. Casual sex with friends was pretty normal with the various groups of people I used to hangout with.

I don’t understand why you said the first bit, nowhere had data centres to begin with.

Will the billionaires let them do this?
